Unreferenced BLP of an Iranian musician. I was unable to find significant coverage of him. I did find a passing mention of him in a reliable source: [1], that refers to him as "[one of] Iran's greatest singers", but I was unable to find anything of substance.

• Keep If a reliable source calls him "(one of) Iran's greatest singers", then that is a strong claim to notability, which creates a presumption that other reliable sources in Farsi discuss this singer in depth. Hold off on deletion until a Farsi-speaking editor reviews sources. Cullen328 (talk) 22:34, 4 April 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Comment I found a Spanish language source that calls him a Kurdo-Iranian, so perhaps Kurdish would be the best language to search. Cullen328 (talk) 22:37, 4 April 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Comment The band he's the lead singer of performed in London in 2003, and received an excellent review in The Guardian. Cullen328 (talk) 22:42, 4 April 2011 (UTC)[reply]

I'd be okay with a redirect to The Kamkars, or keeping it if someone can find significant coverage in Farsi sources. Jujutacular ^talk 22:50, 4 April 2011 (UTC)[reply]

• Redirect to The Kamkars, I couldnt find any thing on BBC Persian to prove that the subject is independently notable but The Kamkars are obviously notable. Spada II ♪♫ (talk) 17:06, 7 April 2011 (UTC)[reply]
