Non notable musician, badly written unreferenced BLP, possible conflict of interest by the author who wrote it. Can find very few reliable sources. Seems his only claim to fame is that he once performed alongside Graham Coxon. Sure he might be a musician but does than automatically mean we should have articles on every musician!!

Um, what makes any of those sources you rooted out reliable (or credible)? Most of them are Somali blogs. Provide some reliable sources like the The Guardian or the Times which explicitly explain why he is notable and I might change my view. Dr. Blofeld ^{White cat} 12:24, 21 December 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Um, they aren't blogs. Hint, click on About on each website. Joe Chill (talk) 13:39, 21 December 2009 (UTC)[reply]

• Keep per Joe's sources, all of which appear to have the kind of editorial process that we require from sources. Phil Bridger (talk) 17:15, 21 December 2009 (UTC)[reply]
• Keep, the article has been rewritten incorporating the above references. J04n(talk page) 03:32, 25 December 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Oh, I was proved wrong. Couldn#t find a reliable source like BBC. All music as well, that's good enough for me although I still don't think he is really particularly notable.... Thanks for sorting it out. Nomination withdrawn. Dr. Blofeld ^{White cat} 11:10, 26 December 2009 (UTC)[reply]
