Not individually notable really. I think his group, BLTNM, is notable (see the coverage on this article), but most of the coverage he has gotten seems to be WP:INHERITED from that. This article should either be deleted, or move/merged with a BLTNM article Allan Nonymous (talk) 18:31, 6 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

• Note: This discussion has been included in the deletion sorting lists for the following topics: Bands and musicians and Palestine. Allan Nonymous (talk) 18:31, 6 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]
• Keep: There is clearly enough coverage present in the article for a page about either Shabjdeed or BLTNM. Examples: The Guardian, The New Arab, Arab News. I could see an argument for moving the article to BLTNM, but that could be handled by a move discussion. I'm not sure why this was nominated for deletion.

  Two of the three sources cited here are coverage of BLTNM, not of its individual members. Not sure this establishes the individual coverage here. Allan Nonymous (talk) 19:29, 6 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

  Again: I agree that a move to BLTNM might be a good result, but there is no reason for deletion here. Toughpigs (talk) 19:32, 6 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

  So youre suggestion here is an uncontroversial move or a move discussion? I think either way, we would be deleting this page, so an AFD discussion seems fair. Allan Nonymous (talk) 19:50, 6 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

  My suggestion is: if you want to withdraw this nomination, then please go ahead. If you don't want to withdraw the nomination, then you should allow the AfD process to continue normally. I would prefer the former, because the existing sources clearly establish notability, but the choice is yours. Toughpigs (talk) 19:53, 6 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

  K, I'll withdraw the nomination and move this to BLTNM, if that's OK with you? Allan Nonymous (talk) 21:03, 6 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

  I would recommend having a discussion on the article talk page about a possible page move. Liz ^{Read! Talk!} 00:15, 7 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

• Keep: Is notable and has multiple references. --Acartonadooopo (talk) 02:29, 7 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

• Keep: obviously notable as the most recognizable contemporary Palestinian rapper. إيان (talk) 05:05, 7 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]
