Sami Beigi

I'm not sure if this individuals passes WP:MUSIC or it's just an issue of systemic bias. He has three nominations for the World Music Awards which I'm not sure certain qualify as a major music award under 8. He was also allegedly featured on a BBC Persian TV program which could qualify under 12. Ricky81682 (talk) 09:02, 28 May 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Weak keep - it's not a proper measure of notability for these purposes, but Sami Beigi has almost a million ghits in English and سامی بیگی has more than a million in Persian. More on point, I am seeing a whole lot of so-so/marginal sources, but none that are really great. Still, especially with the awards he's won, I feel confident sufficient sources exist between the two languages. --— Rhododendrites ^talk | 05:27, 15 June 2014 (UTC)[reply]
