List of the singers

Hello fellow Wikipedians,

The list of khaliji singers from different countries is probably so wrong and no reference is provided. At least about the singers from Iran, I am pretty sure that their genre is not Khaliji and actually their music is very different from each other too. Going through some articles about their music I did not find any mention of Khaliji music and there was no mention of it even in mainstream media. A couple of them are known for Bandari music and the rest are just popular Iranian singers with zero connection with Khaliji music.

I believe the definition of this genre is not clearly defined in the article and the list of singers is far from accurate. I suggest the writer provide some references for each singer and modify them in accord with concrete references.

I cleaned up the list yesterday. Most of the listed articles did not even mention "Khaliji," at least not in a musical context (I kept those that did; in one case I kept a would-be red link that at least cited a source). A few articles did mention the word "Khaliji" in the context of the geographic area, or the Arabic dialect. It seemed as though someone was compiling a list here of anyone & everyone who ever recorded music in the Arabic language, but it was even broader than that (to include Greek-, Hebrew- and Persian-language singers; Cat Stevens; and a wrestler from Iran). FYI I think I might've been drawn to this article via this article; it is currently cited (once) as a source (and I might've been the one who added it). -- Gyrofrog (talk) 16:47, 19 November 2023 (UTC)
