This article only has one source, so it clearly does not pass the GNG requirement of having multiple sources. Nothing in Banai's musical career indicates passing any notability requirement for musicians. John Pack Lambert (talk) 05:58, 16 August 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Comment – Just a note that per WP:NEXIST, topic notability is based upon source availability, rather than the state of sourcing in articles. In other words, topics and subjects can meet WP:GNG despite limited sources within articles. North America¹⁰⁰⁰ 07:47, 16 August 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Comment Before people list articles for deletion it wouldn't hurt if they did a quick search before reaching for the delete button. The singer is notable, from a well-known musical family, and his work has received coverage in reputable sources, some of which I have now added.--Geewhiz (talk) 08:48, 16 August 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Keep When I added a Google search template to the top of this page with Banai's name in Hebrew, the number of potential news sources grew astronomically. I think he satisfies GNG. — Malik Shabazz ^Talk/_Stalk 00:57, 17 August 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Strong Keep In addition to English sources, added by Geewhiz, these sources in Hebrew show he's quite notable: [1], [2], [3], [4].Arthistorian1977 (talk) 14:03, 18 August 2016 (UTC)[reply]
