 * Keep. A reliable sources saying that the subject is "widely considered to be the country's greatest-ever singer" looks very much like notability to me. Phil Bridger (talk) 19:08, 25 October 2011 (UTC)
 * Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion so a clearer consensus may be reached.

 * Keep I've added a couple more references (from previewable Google Books) to the article. These describe the subject as "one of the most renowned Eritrean artists" and "a popular singer and songwriter ... widely identified with a national awakening due to the patriotic themes he incorporated into his music". These plus that already identified by Phil Bridger confrm notability. AllyD (talk) 21:03, 31 October 2011 (UTC)
