Non-notable person. All the references have been removed by Mohammed Re7an. Too old for WP:BLPPROD. GeoffreyT2000 (talk) 14:19, 29 March 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Delete as this is noticeably troubled and there's also nothing for the applicable notability, not convincing. SwisterTwister talk 06:20, 6 April 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Strong keep She is one of the most famous female living Egyptian singers. A few sources about her: Youm7 Filfan Alwafd Elfagr Russia Today Arabic AlJazeera Arabic Layalina Nogom Masreyya Website Veto newspaper AlBawaba website AlMogaz etc. Besides this, the article about her exists in 6 different Wikipedias. --Meno25 (talk) 10:56, 6 April 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Keep Clearly a notable Egyptian artist, the current poor state of the article is no reason to delete, but rather to tag for improvement. Greenman (talk) 22:04, 7 April 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Keep A mention here, plus in-depth coverage here, a second one here, meets the WP:GNG.--Tomwsulcer (talk) 19:07, 10 April 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Keep She meets notability requirements. The lack of references isn't a reason to delete the article. There just have to be sufficient ones available, which is the case here. VanEman (talk) 03:58, 13 April 2016 (UTC)[reply]

@VanEman, the bold "delete" looks inconsistent with your stated views? AllyD (talk) 06:53, 13 April 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Keep: The article text has become a mess (machine-translation?) but the subject is described as "one of the Arab world’s most popular singers" in a bylined report here. That and the sources identified above by User:Meno25 indicate that an acceptable article on a notable subject can be developed, firstly by reinstating the necessary references which were deleted a month ago. AllyD (talk) 07:03, 13 April 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Comment: What had been a reasonable basic article has suffered recently from overwrites with text such as "magazine published an audio recording electronic Bell voice announces the artist him retreat from retirement". Some may feel WP:TNT is needed, but it is better treated as a matter for normal editing negotiation to preserve English-language article quality. I've opened this on User talk:Mohammed Re7an.

Keep as searches confirm notability, it just needs work. See WP:AFDISNTCLEANUP. ThePlatypusofDoom (talk) 22:56, 13 April 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Keep - definitely passes WP:GNG. DaltonCastle (talk) 01:14, 15 April 2016 (UTC)[reply]
