It looks like a promotional page. There are few links of newspapers but those can be arranged for some local singers of a village or neighbourhood. ☆★Sanjeev Kumar (talk) 15:48, 19 August 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Keep but rewrite. Article is very promotional. The first two citations in the article from the Times of India and the Hindu are good. Most coverage I find is about a scuffle with a cricket league over allegedly plagiarizing one of his songs. Oaktree b (talk) 18:24, 19 August 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Speedy Keep: Easily a notable musician, and doing a quick news search brings up full articles in Gulf News [1], Telangana Today [2], and he has a nice little paragraph in Focus: Popular Music in Contemporary India. (And this is alongside what's already listed in the article.) He clearly meets notability standards, despite any actual prose shortcomings the page may have right now. Why? I Ask (talk) 03:21, 20 August 2022 (UTC)[reply]
I don't understand why you people trying to support such a promotional article. It is already mentioned that news papers are publishing such articles for local performers. ☆★Sanjeev Kumar (talk) 05:11, 20 August 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Speedy Keep: Article clearly needs work and I may be to blame for my contributions in it. I acknowledge my shortcomings as an editor (although I try my best for it to follow the laid down guidelines). I think the article looking promotional is due to fans editing the page. It needs some experienced editor to retouch it. Nevertheless, there is no reason to delete the page. As mentioned, the artist is easily notable (especially recently).
