Delete I can't find much reliable coverage about him either. There may be sources out there that are inaccessible due to our systemic bias, so I'd be open to a change of mind if anybody could find some. Them From Space 15:35, 1 February 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Weak Keep - I found this which led me to this. The album is published by ARC Music. Not sure of the notability of this label, but it is a specialist music publisher for ethnic music. I looked up the album on Allmusic and there is a review there that specifically covers Hamid Golestani's part in the album. I suspect that he is notable, and we are looking at an issue of Wikipedia:Systemic bias here. -- Whpq (talk) 21:12, 1 February 2010 (UTC)[reply]

if he had a well cited article in another language I would not have nominated this. LibStar (talk) 22:49, 2 February 2010 (UTC)[reply]

~~Unsure~~. I sure hate for the nominator (or our community as a whole) to be accused of systemic bias... What options do we have if there aren't any good sources available? JBsupreme (talk) 21:47, 2 February 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Delete. I've made a fair effort to find sources for this individual and cannot find much more than a track listing for an album he was involved in. That is not enough to substantiate a WP:BLP article by any means. Feel free to drop me a line if sources are somehow magically found. JBsupreme (talk) 23:22, 2 February 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion so consensus may be reached.

Delete. Only the one album on ARC,[2] I would give him benefit of the doubt if there were at least two albums, that would satisfy WP:MUSICBIO. Nothing systematic or biased about it; regardless of color or creed, he doesn't meet the guideline. Wine Guy~Talk 03:21, 8 February 2010 (UTC)[reply]
