This person does not meet the notability requirements for musicians at WP:Music. Further there are no sources. Delete as non-notable. Nrswanson (talk) 03:08, 18 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Keep She appears to be quite well known and well established with a long history as a successful professional singer. I added some references. ChildofMidnight (talk) 03:28, 18 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Keep sufficent reliable sources to demonstrate notability can be found with a Google News search. Icewedge (talk) 03:57, 18 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Delete for failing WP:MUSIC. Lacks sufficient third party sources to establish credibility of work. I'm not sure which search string you used Icewedge, but I found zero results under news search. Biographical presence on various websites does not establish notability either, since objective of such websites is towards offering directorial service than being critical of the work. ^LeaveSleaves _talk 05:23, 18 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Try filtering it for all dates, not just the last month ([1]). Icewedge (talk) 05:27, 18 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Keep. According to the BBC, "enjoys immense popularity" and is "one of the most popular singers in North African music" [2]. Obviously a very remarkable musician and I strongly doubt the nominator even tried to use google before nominating this article for deletion. By now, the article is sourced too.
