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

Article about an entertainer of seemingly dubious notability. Current sourcing is either primary (specifically a WP:BOMBARDed interview with the subject), does not have the subject as primary topic or is a blog. BenTels (talk) 15:36, 23 September 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Very strong keep. WP:BOMBARD hardly applies. The subject meets all of Wikipedia:Notability (music). Some news coverage may help: 01, 02, 03, 04, 05, 06. Aditya^{(talk • contribs)} 03:38, 1 October 2012 (UTC)[reply]
- Most of those are passing mentions, except for "Heart to heart with Tahsan-Mithila", which provides a little more detail than the others. Goodvac (talk) 22:58, 6 October 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Keep Khan meets the GNG through the following significant coverage: "Taking a step aside" and "Tahsan Rahman Khan" from The Daily Star, "Tahsan: more than just a Musician…" from The Daily Sun, and "Educators with an extra excellence" from New Age. Links to some non-English coverage (Hindi newspaper and TV coverage) are listed here. Goodvac (talk) 00:16, 7 October 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Keep. The best of the sources identified above show notability. --Michig (talk) 09:12, 7 October 2012 (UTC)[reply]
