I additionally nominate the following substantially identical article about his relative:

Additional editing by the author pointed out that Ahmed won the Gaumee Film Award for Best Background Music, which should be sufficient to meet WP:NMUSIC for the subject matter. I withdraw as to Ahmed Amir. FalconK (talk) 23:14, 28 December 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Biased article about a musician with little to no coverage in WP:RS, speedied A7 in 2011. A cursory search for sources turns up nothing. They may be attempting to WP:INHERIT notability from their clearly notable sister Fazeela Amir. FalconK (talk) 06:43, 28 December 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Comment I am not sure if I can comment, but if I may, I would like to clarify that these two are notable singers who have contributed to the local music industry for decades. Ahmed Amir has received one of the most prestigious awards given to individuals in Maldives and sources have included for the same. Since most local articles are published in native language, searching with these taglines އަހްމަދު އާމިރު and އިބްރާހިމް އާމިރު provide coverage in reliable sources like Mihaaru, Sun and Avas to name a few. Also, since the Discography part is large, I though of keeping the career part small and was planning to include additional sources for reliability.

- Of course you can comment - you can also !vote keep if you want! If you add a few independent reliable sources to the articles and clearly meet the notability guidelines for musicians, I'll withdraw my nomination. Keep in mind too, Wikipedia is not paper and there's no length limit for these articles, as long as only relevant information is included; feel free to include as much cited material that shows their importance as you can find.

- I think more is still needed to show Ibrahim is notable. An article about him, a notable award he has won, or anything else listed at WP:NMG would do the trick. Otherwise it might be best to discuss Ibrahim as part of the articles on his two related artists. FalconK (talk) 23:14, 28 December 2020 (UTC)[reply]
- Have included an article about him and an a nomination he has received, with source. ShappeAli (talk) 07:38, 29 December 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Weak Keep, per the considerable expansion that's taken place since the article's nomination in late December. It's gone from 5 references to 13, and its content has gone from a couple sentences to a couple paragraphs. While I don't know much about the SunFM awards (or what constitutes a "well-known" music award in the Maldives), it's a fairly small country (about 500,000 people live there) so I am inclined to lean towards the benefit of the doubt. jp×g 22:08, 17 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]
