Non notable as a musician--only element that has actual coverage falls under BLP1E. The purported references asserted in the 2nd afd are album covers and the usual sort of pr in Indian newspapers. Please note that this was started (and the earlier AfD defended) by a declared paid editor, moving the article from an differently named sandbox to avoid NPP, and worked on by what would seem to be a coi editor, AllaricMedia DGG ( talk ) 06:00, 9 August 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Weak delete: I added some more recent coverage from the Deccan Chronicle which shows the subject's continuing activity. However I am inclined to think that the available coverage would not exist were it not for the original song-by-dying-student myth so still falls under WP:BLP1E at this point.

Keep. I'm the creator of this page and I do not have any WP:COI here other than this. Gajendra Verma is a notable Bollywood singer which can be seen from his discography (any Indian movie buff can confirm it!). However, besides the references given in the second deletion nomination here are a couple more: DNA, Deccan Chronicele, DNA, mid-day, TOI. Mr RD 19:28, 10 August 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Relisting comment: Needs a bit more commentary on the sources provided. Also, as with all Indian topics foreign language sources need checking. Jo-Jo Eumerus (talk, contributions) 07:50, 31 August 2016 (UTC)[reply]
