Seri (singer)

 * ( [ delete] ) – (View AfD) (View log)

Individual fails notability criteria for WP:BIO. No significant coverage is offered nor found -- only hits on searches  are for YouTube, MySpace and other self-published sites. Essentially, this a 17-year-old student who uploads a lot of YouTube vids (which have received minimal views) and shows a knack for self-promotional WP:SPAM. — Cactus Writer |   needles  09:50, 18 April 2009 (UTC)
 * Delete The article is well written and has some professional pictures. It looks the part until you get the the reference list... Hazir (talk) 10:08, 18 April 2009 (UTC)

 * Delete per nom. Fails WP:MUSIC.  Borderline A7 - the "mass controversy in national media outlets", although on its face an assertion of notability, is entirely unsourced and probably non-existent. Tevildo (talk) 14:50, 18 April 2009 (UTC)
 * Note from the article writer: Hi, this is Jer'aise Ling. Primarily, I would like to issue a statement concerning the reason for the formation of the article: The article entitled "Seri (singer)" is by no means an advertising medium and was formed for the purpose of providing the general public with a reference to this figure. Seri has recently gained sufficient notability in the United Arab Emirates and neighboring countries for inclusion in the Wikipedia encyclopedia database. I represent a major organization in the national entertainment field, and along with my colleagues have decided that the formation of such an article fits neatly in with the designated criteria. The article contains suitable references to public media related to information mentioned in the article itself. I kindly advise all to consider this statement before any further route is followed. Thank you and warmest regards. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Jer'aise Ling (talk • contribs) 19:30, 18 April 2009 (UTC)
 * Comment: Jer'aise, we need _evidence_ of his notability that satisfies WP:RS (reliable sources). YouTube and Facebook, "public media" though they may be, are not _reliable_ sources; we need something like a newspaper review/article before the article can be kept.

 * Delete, fails notability per WP:MUSIC. Searching finds no significant coverage in reliable, third-party, sources.   Esradekan Gibb    "Talk" 02:50, 19 April 2009 (UTC)
 * Delete per lack of coverage establishing notability. -- aktsu (t / c) 05:02, 25 April 2009 (UTC)
