The sources mentioned below are not WP:RS and are promotional PR stuff and the article itself doesn't meet WP:MUSICBIO. DIVINE (talk) 19:01, 18 August 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Oppose Dear DIVINE, seems like the article is in good standing ever since with viable contents backed by references. Could you please point out promotional PR stuff as you mentioned and help the article to grow rather then deleting it. Every contribution matters and would appreciate your's too. Also, please make sure it's not a aftermath of these conversations backed by your personal outburst. Thanks - Nabin K. Sapkota (talk) 21:42, 18 August 2022 (UTC)[reply]

I have removed them, which you can see here [1] Instead of copying and pasting the same convo, you are free to discuss as this is a deletion discussion and present some reliable sources for the articles. As your article lacks supportive references and doesn't meet WP:MUSICBIO there's not any personal outburst here. I have fixed a few of your articles, removed non-RS sources and added maintenance tags, which you can check yourself and also fix yourself. Regards, DIVINE (talk) 22:18, 18 August 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Hi DIVINE, I've reverted your changes here. Can you please justify your statement of how these portals and news do not come under WP:RS before removing those sources. These are the major sources in Nepal for artists. Else, could you please mention the list of authorized reliable sources in Nepal to prove your statement of NOT WP:RS - Nabin K. Sapkota (talk) 10:40, 19 August 2022 (UTC)[reply]

If you think those are reliable sources, you should not be adding articles or references to mainspace. Usedtobecool ☎️ 14:09, 19 August 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Delete - promotional article. Photographs taken by the same person who above voted to keep the article, possibly WP:COI. Nythar^T^.^C 16:41, 1 September 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Delete - sources are definitely lacking quality and quick search doesn't reveal anything significant which could otherwise suggest notability. Also find it very worrying that an admin, albeit for another project, has got involved in such a debate. Very clear WP:COI and some poor behaviour regarding edit warring. The last revert by Nabin K. Sapkot does not seem in good faith - reverting low quality sources previously removed by DIVINE, whilst the AFD was ongoing, which contained non-existent URLs. 59abcd (talk) 17:42, 2 September 2022 (UTC)[reply]
