Delete: Non-notable. He was a guitar player and music teacher for children. I am Albanian and I know the Albanian musicians pretty well. There are lots of them who deserve to be in Wikipedia, but Ishmaku is not one of them. He doesn't meet the notability required for WP:COMPOSER, because he never composed anything (probably 1 song?). His highest achievement was that of being artistic director of an Albanian festival in 2009, but he never was its conductor, so that he could have satisfied (at least partially) WP:Entertainer. He was a "redaktor muzikor" (some sort of "music editor", a position needed in Communist Albania and envisioned to distinguish and possibly eliminate Western forms of music expression) for 7 Albanian festivals, which is not something that makes you notable. As a conclusion there is nothing that could make this person notable in the Albanian music world. Morepizevenger (talk) 21:56, 25 September 2011 (UTC)
