• Comment. I looked through some articles and books. There's an article from what looks like a predatory academic journal where he's mentioned as "renowned" in passing, and a self-published book which calls him a "popular Afghan folk singer". "Representations of exile in Afghan oral poetry and songs" (Belgheis Alavi Jafari and Liza Schuster, 2019) seems reliable, and find him important enough to use an example, but he's only mentioned as a songwriter belonging to the Afghan diaspora, and quoted once. An article in the Swedish newspaper sv:Tranås-Posten calls him a "major" artist, but only in passing. I wouldn't be surprised if he's in many ways far more notable than some of the people we explicitly want articles about, but I haven't found any sources which can actually be used to build an article. /Julle (talk) 21:26, 3 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]
