This article is about a violinist that does not meet notability. The article includes one profile from the Epoch Times Isreal which is in Hewbrew. Using Google translation on the page, it appears to be a nice write up for an artists who is still trying to make it although it's difficult to tell sometimes how well the machine translation worked.

However, I can find no other sources writing about this musician. Although not a reason for deletion, the article appears to be an autobiography and suffers from neutrality problems, including previous versions containing copied biographical from the artist's web site.

 * Comment the two major contributors to the article are and  whose only contributions are to this subject. It seems like two accounts for one user. Further, both have warning notices about their editing habits on both their talk pages. 70.29.212.131 (talk) 04:44, 17 June 2010 (UTC)
 * Weak delete. Can't find any reliable secondary sources that attest to this person's notability - all I can find is his own site, and myspace-type sites. Also, can find no evidence of commercially-produced work - only an apparently self-published "album". (My recommendation is "weak" because there might be other language sources that are good enough, and I'm limited to English). Boing! said Zebedee (talk) 12:33, 17 June 2010 (UTC)
 * Comment - I'm also aware that there may be non-english sources. There is the Epoch Times article in Hebrew is dated from 2007.  But that article says the artists was still looking to get his first album out.  In the intervening years, it doesn't appear that he has been signed to a major label (or any label at all).  The biography on his website does some name dropping, and there is a claim to touring and playing in England.  If any of that were notable, I'd expect to see something in English sources, but there is nothing.  The band he was with in England, "Eugine Sokolot" also turns up nothing in a Google search.  There may very well be non-English sources, and I would happily review them if they were available (and get a decent translation), but I suspect that there isn't likely much out there. -- Whpq (talk) 13:19, 17 June 2010 (UTC)
 * Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion so consensus may be reached.


 * Delete - No evidence from WP:RS is provided in the article that he meets the requirements of WP:MUSICBIO. Release of two or more albums on a major label would be evidence of notability, but I don't think he has anything on a major label. I tried to figure out if 'Tornado' was an actual album issued by some publisher, but there is nothing to that effect. Concert tours, if there were any, should normally produce press coverage. The 2007 article in the Hebrew version of Epoch Times seems to anticipate the appearance of an album some time in the future. EdJohnston (talk) 01:12, 24 June 2010 (UTC)
