• Delete This article was deleted in 2006. I am shocked anything was deleted in 2006. Back then the arguments "he is a member of a notable band" actually lead to keeping an article.John Pack Lambert (talk) 12:59, 29 May 2020 (UTC)
• Keep. He's been described as one of the UK’s most prominent Iranian rappers. He and his work has been covered in the book Soundtrack of the Revolution: The Politics of Music in Iran (Published by Stanford University Press), Inside Iran's 'revolutionary' rap (Aljazeera), Academic book Smashed Hits 2.0 Music Under Pressure has explored one of his songs. This meets general notability criteria as well as WP:SINGER.Drako (talk) 14:52, 1 June 2020 (UTC)
• Keep as per the multiple reliable book sources identified above that show a pass of WP:BASIC so that deletion is unnecessary in my view, Atlantic306 (talk) 01:05, 3 June 2020 (UTC)
