Nez

Listed person either does not exist or has not done any of the claimed feats. There have never been any Grammy awards awarded to a person with that name. Also, the name of the listed person (Ebru Mercan) does not match the title of the page.

After removing the Wikipedia mirrors, there are only three Google sites with the name "Ebru Mercan", all in Turkish. She may be a famous Turkish singer, I don't know. There is an artist named "Nez", she has one album listed on allmusic and artistdirect, the album is also called Nez, released in 2003. She seems to be a Turkish rock singer. I would vote keep if all of the fantasy is deleted from the article. Rick K 19:07, May 16, 2005 (UTC)
I'm not really up on pop - but I think I'd have heard of 'one of the most famous' stars in the world. There may be a real artist out there somewhere - but this isn't a description of her. Delete unless totally rewritten. --Doc Glasgow 22:48, 16 May 2005 (UTC)[reply]
Keep This person does exist. See here for "Nez" on allmusic [1]. She is Turkish, and there was one article I found on Google about popular turkish musicians and it said Nez was like a "Turkish Shakira". Although the article may need to be given more factual accuracy and cleaned up. Stancel 22:56, 16 May 2005 (UTC)[reply]
Comment I cleaned up the article and made it into a stub about the actual Nez. I'm having trouble finding info about her in English though. Stancel 23:05, 16 May 2005 (UTC)[reply]
Keep per RickK, ty Stancel. Kappa 23:44, 16 May 2005 (UTC)[reply]
Delete, not notable enough. No biography on the allmusic.com site. An editor will have their work cut out trying to add anything else to this microstub. Megan1967 04:29, 17 May 2005 (UTC)[reply]
Delete, to be honest, even after the clean up, the artist is so obscure, I see little point in keeping her on Wiki. You can't even buy her album on Amazon. Kel-nage 12:39, 17 May 2005 (UTC)[reply]
