This is a musician who does not obviously meet WP:BAND but whose article has been edited by a lot of people since 2006. The article gives no references but says that he has been called a "hero" of Persian pop music and "a sound over all sounds," which may indicate some cultural status, but nothing is explained or referenced.

I am unable to find any evidence that any of his albums were successful enough to make this person notable. Blue Rasberry 02:03, 16 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Second relist rationale. The article is a BLP. --Ron Ritzman (talk) 00:16, 29 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Keep: per section 11 and 12. Most of USA based Iranian pop singers are banned within the country, but they are very very popular in Iran. During these years some radio and TV stations like Radio Farda, Radio Zamaneh, BBC Persian, and VOA broadcast regularly their works. Solati is not among the top 10 of persian singers but is one the most successful, he and her sister Shohreh Solati. See this for more info. Honestly I couldn't find good things about him, even in Persian!Farhikht (talk) 11:15, 29 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Delete: The article doesnt meet WP:Music , maybe its a good article for Farsi wikipedia but English reliable sources are needed for English wiki and I couldnt find notable reviews at Allmusic , --Spada 2 ♪♫ (talk) 11:32, 29 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]
