The article states
"Due to high U.S. digital sales, the song debuted on the Billboard Hot 100 for the chart week of February 16, 2008 at #9, becoming Naim's first U.S. top ten single."
It isn't February 16th yet...
I checked the notability criteria (Criteria for musicians and ensembles) on WP:MUSIC. I feel the following criteria are all met (and any one would be sufficient to establish notability, possibly excepting 10):
Accordingly, I have removed the 'notability|music' tag from the article. Mooncow ( talk) 21:57, 19 January 2008 (UTC)
She came to prominence when her song "New Soul" was featured in the début commercial for Apple's MacBook Air" is most appropriate
as it describes the way in which she came to notability. Thus, this must be the way in which the intro is read. Bstone ( talk) 13:50, 27 January 2008 (UTC)
but that doesn't mean you have to describe every detail of the laptop
well, the intro as it currently reads clearly does not do that in any way, shape or form. It simply describes the basic circumstances (who, what, where and when) in which her notability was clearly defined. I do not think anyone would have a problem with accurately describing who she is, what brought her to notability, where it happened (at MacWorld) and when (2008). Lacking any of this information would leave this article in a form which would be, simply put, unencyclopedic. I look forward to your response and for us building a consensus in this discussion.

I wonder if those diaereses in her name are necessary; as far as I know, no diaereses are used in transcription of Hebrew names. mz ( talk) 10:13, 20 January 2008 (UTC)
This is a random question, but why is her name translated into Arabic? She was born in France and then moved to Israel. She is Israeli and French, not Arabic. She has nothing to do with Arab culture, so shouldn't her name only be translated into Hebrew and if French had different characters, French too? I'm removing the Arabic translation unless somebody has a legitimate reason for it to be there. I'm not under the impression that every article, regardless of whether it has to do with Arabic culture or the language, has to have an Arabic translation. -- Shuki18 ( talk) 00:34, 14 May 2009 (UTC)
Is there a source that indicates Naim's involvement in the Yes We Can project? I don't know for sure, but I think that the woman who repeats the Hebrew for Yes We Can ("Anu Y'cholim") twice in the video is not Naim but Maya Rubin. BabyTyrone ( talk) 20:43, 5 February 2008 (UTC)
I was reading this article, and saw this quote at the very bottom, which I removed, but I figure it's accurate enough to deserve a discussion. Here's the quote (not from me, by the way): "I believe it would be more accurate to identify her heritage as 'Mizrachim' than the generic 'Sephardic'."
What do you think? I know most non-Jews know only Sephardic or Ashkenazi, if we're lucky, but I think probably most non-Jews won't know what Mizrachim means. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 65.33.21.135 ( talk) 04:29, 30 March 2008 (UTC)
As shown on official Website, she was born in Paris, France, not in London, England —Preceding unsigned comment added by 89.247.231.233 ( talk) 13:19, 5 April 2008 (UTC)
Is her name "Naim" or "Naïm"? It ought to be consistent. — Ashley Y 22:11, 19 April 2008 (UTC)

Although Yael was born in Paris, the entire Article refers to her as an Israeli (e.g. "First Israeli artist to hit the billboard", etc.). —Preceding unsigned comment added by 79.180.139.28 ( talk) 08:25, 5 August 2008 (UTC)
Can we get a picture where she isn't closing her eyes? :) Hullo exclamation mark ( talk) 03:27, 23 November 2008 (UTC)
The description of her in the opening sentence keeps changing in some form of these three nationalities. I did a quick search and sources indicated that one parent is Israeli and one parent is Tunisian. She was born in Paris. She lived most of her life in Israel before moving to the United States. So what should we call her? Niluop ( talk) 23:28, 21 April 2011 (UTC)
