• Keep Article very good references and very number site— Preceding unsigned comment added by Aliasghar ghorbandokht (talk • contribs)
• Keep The article has excellent sources such as Ganja Music and imdb. In my opinion, the article should remain. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Alone ghpo (talk • contribs) 17:01, 9 May 2021 (UTC)[reply]

See WP:IMDB; having a page on IMDb is not an indicator of notability. Ganja Music is about as unreliable as it gets. Spiderone^{(Talk to Spider)} 20:30, 9 May 2021 (UTC)[reply]

• Source analysis - this entire article is pure spam and there is absolutely nothing about him in a WP:BEFORE search. Spiderone^{(Talk to Spider)} 17:04, 9 May 2021 (UTC)[reply]

• Keep In my opinion, the article is qualified. Of course, more corrections are needed to make the claims credible, but for now I see no reason to remove them. The article must remain — Preceding unsigned comment added by 5.212.138.108 (talk) 17:07, 9 May 2021 (UTC)[reply]
• Keep Yes, you are right But instead of deleting the article, please help the article and add it to the source. This is my only request. Thanks — Preceding unsigned comment added by Aliasghar ghorbandokht (talk • contribs) 2021-05-09T17:09:37 (UTC)

Second vote by this person; I recommend a canvassing or puppeteering investigation for the "keep" voters thus far. ---DOOMSDAYER520 (TALK|CONTRIBS) 01:21, 10 May 2021 (UTC)[reply]

• Delete: per Spiderone, WP:SPAM, no signs of notability CommanderWaterford (talk) 20:27, 9 May 2021 (UTC)[reply]
• Delete - Spiderone's source analysis is convincing, and it represents all that can be found with both the Persian and English spellings of the musician's name. The article is clearly an attempted promotion for a musician that has gotten himself into all of his country's typical social media and streaming sites. Those are not reliable sources and only show that he and his music can be found online. Wikipedia articles are supposed to serve a different purpose. ---DOOMSDAYER520 (TALK|CONTRIBS) 01:18, 10 May 2021 (UTC)[reply]
• Delete - fails WP:MUSICBIO and WP:GNG. Google search does not turn up any reliable sources that are independent of the subject and talk about the subject in depth. All sources used in the article are self-published and user-generated sites or retailers and fail to establish notability. This is a WP:SPAM page. --Ashleyyoursmile! 08:48, 10 May 2021 (UTC)[reply]
• Delete does not pass WP:MUSICBIO and WP:GNG. Best, GPL93 (talk) 14:40, 10 May 2021 (UTC)[reply]
• Comment I don't vote on subjects for which references are in a language I neither speak or read. However, I'm troubled that all the keep votes are seemingly the result of canvasing and sock puppetry. Also, Spiderone's source analysis is about as damning as one can get. ShelbyMarion (talk) 17:51, 10 May 2021 (UTC)[reply]

There is a current SPI open at Wikipedia:Sockpuppet investigations/Aliasghar ghorbandokht. Aliasghar ghorbandokht and Alone ghpo have actually already been CU-blocked on Wikimedia but the Wikipedia SPI hasn't been closed yet. Best, GPL93 (talk) 13:49, 11 May 2021 (UTC)[reply]

• Delete per Spiderone's accurate analysis and Doomsdayer. When will the keep voters (I mean voter) learn that download links, mp3 and videos are not reliable sources? GhostDestroyer100 (talk) 15:53, 11 May 2021 (UTC)[reply]
