Non-notable film director. No indications of notability for this Indian film director. Some minor film festival notices, but not sufficient to meet inclusion criteria. Most citations are to youtube or facebook posts. Article appears to be entirely promotional, created by the subject himself and edited by a COI user representing a film that Rajsingh has directed.

Delete. Unless there is a ton of sources in one of the Indian dialects, there just isn't any notability for him. We have two articles about a festival he helped put together, which helps, but there's just a huge lack of coverage out there. This is somewhat telling, as entertainment people usually get quite a bit of coverage in India. If someone can find coverage in foreign language sources I'm willing to change my opinion, but offhand this just doesn't seem to be a person who has received enough coverage to pass notability guidelines. The film festival might pass in a year or two if it gains more coverage, but all we have are the two sources for the first event in 2013. That's not enough to warrant a page for that. I'd nominate this for a speedy under promotional issues, but I do want to give this a little bit of a chance to get some people fluent in the dialects of India to look for sources.
