The sources in the article either don't pass Wikipedia:Identifying reliable sources or don't provide significant coverage of the subject, and I couldn't find anything online, so I don't think the subject passes WP:BASIC. Also, I don't think that the competition win and the TV appearances are enough to satisfy WP:MUSICBIO. — Mr. Stradivarius ♪ talk ♪ 05:32, 20 January 2013 (UTC) reply
The article is being continuously updated/corrected/edited and more external references are being added which also refer to the TV music competition "Pêle Mêle" which served to discover lebanese talents, that's where Gary Terzian won the first prize in 1968. Indirectly answering Mr.Stradivarius's concerns, the competition was not just a TV appearance. It was a national competition equivalent to the American Idol at that time. This and other information along with the references that have been added in the article, satisfy the requirements of articles 8, 9 and 12 of the Criteria for musicians and ensembles, articles 2 and 6 of the Criteria for composers and lyricists and articles 1 and 4 for composers and performers outside mass media traditions.
It should be taken into consideration that the article refers to history from the sixties and seventies where there was no internet and global communication networks. The geographical context of the events has also it's particularities. It is normal that the references or sources cannot be as exhaustive and precise as for recent musical events.
I strongly suggest to keep the article on Gary Terzian and remove it from from the list of articles being considered for deletion. Silk road star ( talk) 00:19, 21 January 2013 (UTC) reply
Some of the criticism written above by several members can be technically contested but still it will not make it a full-proof article. I will not go through it. So, I am asking for a speedy deletion, a withdrawal of the article because it cannot be further developed for the time being. If there is a possibility of keeping the article I will continue working on it. I am the main contributor of the article. Thanks Silk road star ( talk) 02:21, 5 February 2013 (UTC) reply
