overly promotional, and lacks reliable sources to meet WP:MUSIC. hardly anything in gnews [1] despite the glowing claims of the article. LibStar (talk) 00:55, 15 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Delete - does not meet WP:MUSICBIO. She placed second in a singing reality show and has sung one song for another TV show. The awards she has received are all city level awards.--Sodabottle (talk) 04:31, 16 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]
  • As far as I can tell, it's the television station Zee Marathi that has the contract with Universal, not this lady. (See here). The station's put together a number of compilation albums using content from its television shows, and Ms Vaishampayan has appeared on the compilations in this capacity. But Vaishampayan herself doesn't appear to have any particular recording contract. - DustFormsWords (talk) 06:46, 17 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]
  • Even if this is true for the "Pancharatna" Album, Aathawa Swar is a completely new album, Zee Marathi has nothing to do with it. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Prabodh1987 (talk • contribs) 12:02, 17 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]

  • Delete per lack of signficant coverage in reliable independent sources and per skepticism about recording contract per my comments above. References in article are either not significant, not independent (her sites and sites of the TV station), or not reliable (YouTube). - DustFormsWords (talk) 06:46, 17 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep Hi, She has sung for NDTV Imagine dialy Soap 'Kaashi'. Titles show her name as only lead singer. She has recorded songs for two marathi movies so far. Name of one movie is "Let'z Go". Recently Universal Music Launched new Album "Aathawa Swar" (आठवा स्वर) where Mugdha has sung 3 songs. http://www.facebook.com/home.php?#!/pages/litala-cempasa-albama-athava-svara/122417764459106 See the coverage of this Album Launch by leading Marathi News Channel STAR MAZA (स्टार माझा) from STAR INDIA Network. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-aTRybZ8uCo 216.10.193.21 (talk) 07:13, 17 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep WP:Music guidelines - Criteria for musicians and ensembles

"9. Has won or placed in a major music competition. 10. Has performed music for a work of media that is notable, e.g. a theme for a network television show, performance in a television show or notable film, inclusion on a notable compilation album, etc. (But if this is the only claim, it is probably more appropriate to have a mention in the main article and redirect to that article.) 11. Has been placed in rotation nationally by any major radio network. 12. Has been the subject of a half-hour or longer broadcast across a national radio or TV network."

Mugdha had participated and broke into top 5 finalists in TV show Idea SARGEMA on Zee Marathi which had highest TRP rating in music reality shows so far. (9,12) She was aired on television from July'08 t0 Feb'09.(9,12)

Even today, 3-4 hour programmes of their concert tours are shown on Marathi channels like Zee Marathi, SAAM, Star Maza and Mi Marathi.(9,12)

Till date, Mugdha was interviewed and appeared on Radio Channels like Radio Surabhi Satelite, 98.3 FM radio Mirchi, 91.1 FM Radio One, All India Radio, Mumbai.(11)

She has sung for NDTV Daily soap. She was part of seven albums. पंचरत्न भाग १,२,३. गर्जती सह्याद्रीचे कडे, जय हरी विठ्ठल, आठवा स्वर, डार्लिंग डार्लिंग (Exclusive her songs). All launched by Universal Music, India.(10)

She has rendered voice for two Marathi movies so far. Name of one movie is 'Let'z Go' and second is un-named. Both will go to floor soon. I will provide links for the same as reference.(10)

Please see its complying with criteria 9,10,11 and 12 of WP:Music.

Why it is then marked for deletion? Plz revoke the action. Vickstp (talk) 07:33, 17 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]


  • Keep Nothing need to be said and done after the arguments put down here by Vickstp. Mugdha is enormously popular in Maharashtra. Even today, after 2 years she participated in the reality show, Mugdha performs in live shows all over Maharashtra. Mugdha was a part of the Celebrity Tour to Europe by Kesari Tours. Mugdha has performed in numerous shows. You will find the details of some of them in the article itself. She was invited to Dubai for a live show. Prabodh 11:48, 17 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep What Vickstp said is quite convincing. If we could have a Google news archive search done in the native language, perhaps we'd find more results. Has anyone who speaks this language looked through her official site, or searched the Wikipedia for that language for leads on more information? Dream Focus 23:23, 17 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]
  • We've generally held non-winning American Idol / So You Think You Can Dance etc contestants to be non-notable in the absence of them having done anything else of particular note; there's nothing in the material identified so far that suggests this lady is any different. - DustFormsWords (talk) 23:44, 17 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]
The article says, as does Vickstp statement above, that she has done a theme song that is shown before notable shows [2]. I don't know what American Idol contestants you are referring to, but were these people that bombed and didn't get a record deal, or those that went on to do something that got noticed? Does that show get some people who can't sing just to humiliate them? Those people aren't notable, but some of the losers go on to make notable albums and get plenty of reviews for their work.

This official website link mentioned above says " These L’ll Champs are no ordinary folk. They were in Prasanthi Nilayam on a personal invitation from Bhagawan Himself. Impressed by their natural talent show at Hadshi, Bhagawan had asked them to come to Puttparthi to perform in Prasanthi Nilayam. …And one could not wait for a better opportunity than the auspicious occasion of celebrating His Divine Advent. A tiny tot in the group, cute champ Mugdha Vaishampayam was at her best singing melodiously, enacting to her best. Singing the famous number “Sai Tero Naam Easwar Tero Naam…” in His presence, with a pointer at Him as Allah, was a feast to the eyes and ears and the crowd went ecstatic, swaying to the tunes in merriment. Every song was received with thunderous relentless applause." Vickstp (talk) 10:23, 18 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]

  • Keep - Hi, We have produced good number of evidences to rovoke the deletion. If we look at in an inspirational perspective, this article will help the youth as well as the guardians to mentor their childrens to set examples and will play a significant role in each ones life.

  • Weak delete. If the article was substantially cleaned up and the bias removed, I'd be more accepting of it, but as it stands it really reads more like a promotion of her, with little about her actual accomplishments. Fletch the Mighty (talk) 04:29, 24 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]
