Jayanta Roy[edit]

(Find sources: Google (books · news · scholar · free images · WP refs) · FENS · JSTOR · TWL)

Non-notable music composer. I found no sources that provide significant coverage of Roy himself, nor does he seem to meet any of the criteria in WP:COMPOSER. GSS (talk|c|em) 15:42, 2 April 2017 (UTC)[reply]

This page is significant and should be in wikipedia. Roy has worked with National Award Winning Singer Rupankar Bagchi who is very much famous public figure in West Bengal. He worked with Gopika Goswami who has done playback in many highly popular bengali films such as Jamai 420, Shororipu, Not a Dirty Film, Sathiya. Sundeep Gosswami (who has sung Dil Kyun on Roy's compostion) has worked singer and music director as Sundeep-Surya (previously was known as Sandeep-Surya) duo in Bollywood movies such as Bhindi Baazaar Inc., Blue Mountains (2017 film) and Suraj Jagan, Roop Kumar Rathod, Sadhana Sargam, Tochi Raina have sung on his composition. Roy also worked as painter in Tui Bolle Project ( an Indo- Bangladeshi relationship project) with one of the top artist of Bangladesh Shayan Chowdhury Arnob.Jiami (talk) 18:07, 2 April 2017 (UTC)

@Jiami: Notability is not inherited. A person who is the subject of an article has to be notable in their own, and I can see no evidence that Jayanta Roy is. GSS (talk|c|em) 13:45, 3 April 2017 (UTC)[reply]

@GSS-1987: Sir, Roy has been referred several times in Bangladeshi newspapers for Tui Bolle project in many renowned Bangladeshi newspapapers as it can derived from online sources. Tui Bolle project is very much significant in the sense that it has been done to enhance Indo-Bangladesh cultural relations in that atmosphere where Indian music is banned in Bangladesh. Its also a fact of significance/notability for Roy being mentioned in a lot of Bangladeshi National newspapers for that project where other persons in that project (like musicians who played for that and others involved in song production) except composer and lyricist were mentioned nowhere (so far links I have had from internet search).Roy has been covered multiple times in West Bengal state level newspapers and regional ones and also televison channels whose onlie links expire in few days and a number of them don't have online links, so it will remain as a fact of ambiguity from the view of wiki until any user as well as me can't give further online sources and I or any other user can give reference of online links of news coverage in recent future when any online link of his next coverage will generate on net or will be covered in English newspapers whose links don't expire. I have come on wiki to be an wikipidean editor and so I made the article short rather than using any info from the offline newspapers where from I read many about Roy Sir. So, its my request to you is to keep the page making it recommended for improvement following rule of not deleting in case of doubt. Please go for inclusionism.

As I said above Notability is not inherited. To have a Wikipedia article, the subject must receive significant coverage in reliable, independent sources to demonstrate it's notability and the available sources are either unreliable or trivial passing mentions. Nothing I've seen suggests that this person meets GNG and I don't see any indication of passing WP:COMPOSER. GSS (talk|c|em) 05:49, 7 April 2017 (UTC)[reply]

@GSS-1987: What I can say about this, the sources are reliable enough. An article can be made for a single event too if the event is significant and there are multiple coverages of event along with the person's role WP:BIO1E. Anyways, I shall agree with any decision you would take. Regards. Jiami (talk) 07:38, 7 April 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Delete: No notability shown. SL93 (talk) 23:58, 17 April 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Keep: Reference 15, 16, 17, 18 show his coverage in significant reliable Bangladeshi Newspapers independent of the subject. Jiami (talk) 20:05, 18 April 2017 (UTC) — Note to closing admin: Jiami (talk • contribs) is the creator of the page that is the subject of this XfD. [reply]

@Jiami: Are you serious? As I can read Bangali language a litle bit and with the help of Google translate I found that all sources are about Shayan Chowdhury Arnob and Roy's (জয়ন্ত রায়) name is there becasue he designed the logo for Arnob's song(s) and it reads:

15: Bengali: গানটির লোগোর নকশা করেছেন জয়ন্ত রায়।

16: Bengali: জয়ন্ত রায় গানটির লোগো ডিজাইন করেছেন।

17 and 18: Bengali: ‘তুই বললে’র লোগো ডিজাইন করেছেন জয়ন্ত রায়।.

So can you please explain how it's independent of the subject? Thank you – GSS (talk|c|em) 07:24, 19 April 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Delete A non notable artist, who has merely worked for any notable project., fails WP:NMUSIC, WP:NARTIST and no significant coverage to pass the WP:GNG.--Elton-Rodrigues (talk) 18:09, 20 April 2017 (UTC)[reply]
