The subject is insufficiently notable within his field. Almost all of the information is about the singer as a person and not as a singer -- such as where he lived and which Hasidic sect he used to belong to vs what he belongs to now, or attempting to highlight his success and notability based on the fact that he has a single out -- this does not make someone notable. Furthermore, information is from poorly substantiated website sources almost entirely relying on the singer's submitted CV to the sources in question.

Comment The article clearly lists multiple albums and singles to his credit, so the point about a single being out seems irrelevant. StonyBrook (talk) 06:07, 24 October 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Keep Passes WP:SINGER: Multiple sources independent of the subject have reported about him, it being understandable that some (not all) of the sources are in Hebrew, which takes nothing away from the notability; it is being reported he is the 'heir to Mordechai Ben David', a bold claim which I don't believe would be thrown around if there were no basis for it, which bolsters the impression that this isn't just another flash-in-the-pan Hasidic singer.

Keep Seems to pass WP:SINGER : "Has been the subject of multiple, non-trivial, published works appearing in sources that are reliable, not self-published, and are independent of the musician or ensemble itself." Article gives many sources which seem to show enough of a level of notability.Adam Bernstein (talk) 09:30, 24 October 2019 (UTC)[reply]
