Contested deletion[edit]

This article should not be speedily deleted for lack of asserted importance because... --Moon1965 (talk) 12:36, 15 September 2012 (UTC)[reply]

According to Wikipedia:MUSIC#Criteria for musicians and ensembles, I think this article at least conforms to the following criterion:

1. Has been the subject of multiple, non-trivial, published works appearing in sources that are reliable, not self-published, and are independent from the musician or ensemble itself:

As appeared in references section and also press page at his website.

7. Has become one of the most prominent representatives of a notable style or the most prominent of the local scene of a city:

Representatives of styles like RIO and avant-garde classical chamber in Iran where rock genre is not prevalent. (Source) --Moon1965 (talk) 12:54, 15 September 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Improving references[edit]

Improvements include:

Changing reference for "Harmonie Magazine compared his guitar playing to King Crimson's Robert Fripp" to its original source. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Moon1965 (talk • contribs) 12:43, 15 September 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Two sources added for Univers Zero style (ProgNaut and The Rocktologist ezine). — Preceding unsigned comment added by Moon1965 (talk • contribs) 12:52, 15 September 2012 (UTC)[reply]
References to two influences removed and two sources (Digg* magazine, Hard Rock Service) added for John Zorn, Patrick O'Hearn and Mike Oldfield --Moon1965 (talk) 06:35, 16 September 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Two sources added for King Crimson influences (Progwereld, Artrock.pl) --Moon1965 (talk) 06:41, 16 September 2012 (UTC)[reply]

still not reliable for wikipedia, for a bold statement like that you need refrences from big magazines something like allmusic. Spada II ♪♫ (talk) 07:48, 19 September 2012 (UTC)[reply]

I doubt if reliability of a source is dependent on its position on indie/commercial spectrum - However that none of Harmonie Magazine, artrock.pl or Progwereld are indie publications. | Even if comparing one's guitar playing to a specific musician is bold, the neutrality still depends on the tone - which in this case seems neutral. | About Crimson reference another reference added from Music Street Journal by Gary Hill - who is an allmusic editor. So I removed its unreliable tag. --Moon1965 (talk) 10:46, 19 September 2012 (UTC)[reply]

removed unreliable tag for Digg* reference. See Digg* at nl:Digg* --Moon1965 (talk) 11:39, 19 September 2012 (UTC)[reply]

take a look at Wikipedia:WikiProject Albums/Review sites to find out the reliable review sites that you can rely your statements to, So still not reliable sources and I'm not sure about the notability of the article according to WP:Music. Spada II ♪♫ (talk) 13:45, 19 September 2012 (UTC)[reply]
- Wikipedia:WikiProject Albums/Review sites addresses "album articles" and I don't think it is applicable here. Anyway I don't find an NPOV style citation of a specific magazine (in this case Harmonie Magazine), a violation of NPOV. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Moon1965 (talk • contribs) 16:24, 19 September 2012 (UTC)[reply]
You cant use unreliable sources to advertise a musician, Wikipedia is not a socialnetwork, please provide reliable sources or the material will be removed. Spada II ♪♫ (talk) 05:07, 20 September 2012 (UTC)[reply]
- Sure it is not. In this case I find Wikipedia:Identifying reliable sources quite helpful; but in case of dispute wiki users may discuss. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Moon1965 (talk • contribs) 07:32, 20 September 2012 (UTC)[reply]

I was invited here via a post on my talk page. Sorry I didn't comment earlier. Anyways, I think that this page might (but not necessarily is) notable. He is tied with the band Arashk, and has his own solo career. However, does he pass WP:N#MUSIC? I'm not entirely sure about that, due to the band and his solo career not being tied with a label. Also, the sourcing could always use a little extra help, as some of the sources are not entirely reliable by Wikipedia's standards (ie: Sea of Tranquility). I would not have this page get deleted as a first resort, but if it does end up being deleted, then so be it. Backtable ^{Speak to me}_{concerning my deeds.} 08:24, 27 September 2012 (UTC)[reply]
