Might be missing out on non-English sources for WP:BEFORE, but the current reference list is either: 1) BBCPersia which is actually just a photo gallery; 2) Primary sources; 3) Italian Wired article which is more about one of his songs; 4) Promotional article from Radio Javan announcing that his songs will be played on the radio. nearlyevil 665 13:08, 4 May 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Weak keep, significant coverage can be found here,^[1] and on BBC News. There are also some more trivial mentions.^[2]^[3]

Keep as per the reliable sources identified above such as multiple stories from the BBC and book sources that together show a pass of WP:GNG so that deletion is unnecessary in my view, Atlantic306 (talk) 00:45, 19 May 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Strong keep - I believe he passes WP:GNG and we can beef up this article per WP:BASIC. I think if we had some folk who can read Arabic we'd not be here. He has a solid VIAF entry. He's been sampled by NAS [1][2]; he's released a song supporting women to get rid of their hijabs that got him some attention (here is just one English source). He was profiled in the [https://www.latimes.com/archives/la-xpm-2010-aug-22-la-me-persian-parties-20100822-story.html Los Angeles Times about Iranian culture in 2010]; his cover of an Italian song has been featured in numerous Italian sources including Wired[3] and many more [4][5][6][7] (there are ton of sources)....I could go on. Even if you just Google him his videos are everywhere and every Persian event website calls him a "legend" over and over again. His work has even been featured in numerous journals via JSTOR. I am confident he passes GNG with the right attention. Missvain (talk) 17:57, 22 May 2021 (UTC)[reply]
