Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Karna Das

The following discussion is an archived debate of the proposed deletion of the article below. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made on the appropriate discussion page (such as the article's talk page or in a deletion review). No further edits should be made to this page.

The result was keep. As nominated, the article no longer qualifies for deletion. Indeed, at the time of nomination the article did not have any sources that support any statement made about the person (diff), qualifying for deletion as per WP:BLPPROD as an unsourced biography of a living person. However, a reliable source that supports some content has since been added to the article (diff), which has entirely negated the rationale for deletion herein.

Does not cite any sources. Binod Basnet (talk) 08:13, 2 December 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Comment. If you find an article that doesn't cite sources, there are maintenance tags that can be added to the article. It doesn't need to come to AfD unless insufficent sources exist. Whether or not there is enough out there I don't know. An article here about him which states that he "became a household name", and I also found a couple more that mention him ("popular singers such as Karna Das", [1]). The majority of coverage is likely to be in non-English language sources. --Michig (talk) 09:08, 2 December 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Keep I found a few more English language sources, though how reliable they are, I'm not sure. Nepalese Voice Australia reported on a concert in Melbourne in 2016 [2]; 977 News Network refers to 3 of his songs becoming chartbusters here [3] (the Wikipedia listing of national music charts does not include any for Nepal, though); Boss Nepal is an online magazine, which has a page about him with more biographical details and more album names, which could be useful to follow up [4]. I agree that most sources are likely to be in other languages - the ones we have found in English do indicate his status as a very popular, well known, chart-topping singer in Nepal, and I would expect to find more evidence of that in Nepali, etc. Would be useful to do WP:BEFORE before nominating for AfD.
