One source for wining one award, not notable. Slatersteven (talk) 16:11, 14 February 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Speedy keep He did not simply win an award. Honored Artist of Armenia is the HIGHEST award in the Republic of Armenia. Harut111 (talk) 16:15, 14 February 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Not National Hero of Armenia?Slatersteven (talk) 16:16, 14 February 2018 (UTC)[reply]

I meant the highest cultural award in Armenia. Besides, he has got dozens of other awards. Harut111 (talk) 16:18, 14 February 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Also there are at least two other Honorable awards, Merited Artist of the Republic of Armenia and People's Artist of the Republic of Armenia, (Honorable, not awards of merit), so I cannot find any reference to it being the highest award (even for artistic merit). If he has won other awards then feel free to add them and we can see if he meets our notability criteria.Slatersteven (talk) 16:23, 14 February 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Merited Artist of the Republic of Armenia and Honored Artist of Armenia are the same ones. I don't know anything about People's Artist of the Republic of Armenia. I think it is not in use anymore. Harut111 (talk) 16:28, 14 February 2018 (UTC)[reply]

We need RS to support any of this, Nor can I find even any reference to Honored Artist of Armenia being the highest award of merit for artistic achievement. It might help if you could provide a link to substantiate the claim it is.Slatersteven (talk) 16:35, 14 February 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Please read WP:MUSICBIO and then provide an RS supporting one of these criteria, at least (if he is that famous criteria 2 should be easy, one charted single).Slatersteven (talk) 16:37, 14 February 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Keep. Honored Artist of Armenia looks like a seriously good award, established by statute, in the personal gift of the President of Armenia, only awardable after recommendation by other, reputable, Armenian authorities. I have not found any citation which says that it is the most prestigious award in Armenia; on the other hand, I have found nothing which suggests that any other award is higher. It looks to me to deserve similar respect to e.g. the British honours of KBE and DBE. Narky Blert (talk) 23:39, 16 February 2018 (UTC)[reply]
