No reliable sources available to establish notability. Another singer who only made a few solo or duet recordings. Possible COI (someone wrote the articles for his whole family). Need proper investigation by experienced editors. PlayOboe (talk) 08:08, 3 August 2022 (UTC) Blocked sock. Beccaynr (talk) 00:11, 8 August 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Comment Coverage in the Assam Times, unsure how reliable it is as a source. The COI is bothersome. Oaktree b (talk) 12:57, 3 August 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Speedy keep There appears to be no basis for this nomination - COI is reviewed and not a basis for deletion, reliable sources exist, e.g. [1], and the article subject has done more than "a few solo or duet recordings." Per RS cited in the article, he has also won multiple awards. The article can be improved, including by finding archived versions of sources, but WP:BASIC notability appears supported.

via the WP Library, e.g. "Assamese musician launches school in Bangalore" (Hindustan Times/ANI 2010, via ProQuest), "Song against sex crimes remembers Delhi girl - Bangalore-based musician makes music video to encourage people to raise their voices" (The Telegraph 2013, via ProQuest), "Great Gigs in the Clouds" (The Economic Times 2017, via ProQuest e.g. "Also hitting the high notes is The Euphony Rock Contest in Guwahati, founded in 2009 by Eastern Fare Music Foundation, a collaborative artist retreat for emerging professionals and celebrated artists." (He is the festival founder)). Beccaynr (talk) 02:41, 6 August 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Comment He composed a song about the newsworthy 2012 Delhi gang rape and murder. He is not notable for Wikipedia because of that.PlayOboe (talk) 17:48, 6 August 2022 (UTC)[reply]

WP:BASIC notability appears to be supported because multiple independent and reliable sources offer secondary coverage over time about a variety of aspects of his career, and when combined, demonstrate significant coverage. Some sources are also available at the Internet Archive, e.g. Where folk & Western tunes merge (The Telegraph 2012). Beccaynr (talk) 18:48, 6 August 2022 (UTC)[reply]
