Fails WP:RS and Article looks like promotional and written with WP:COI as the information written is nowhere available in cited sources. Siddharth 📨 15:43, 2 June 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Delete ~~Speedy Keep~~ This request is WP:UGLY. ~~The article passes WP:SINGER.~~ Masum Reza^📞 18:52, 2 June 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Question for nominator. Why did you find it promotional? Masum Reza^📞 19:05, 2 June 2019 (UTC)[reply]
did you find that information in google? or in those cited articles? then point them out here. the information I read is not referenced and looks like promotional I never said it's promotional. and sources aren't reliable. thats why Nominated. yes he passes Singer. and GNG. --Siddharth 📨 19:17, 2 June 2019 (UTC)[reply]
@SidPedian: I advise you to take a look at WP:AFD. The question is whether he is notable or not. We don't nominate articles for deletion for reason like that. Tag the article with maintenance tags. Masum Reza^📞 08:59, 3 June 2019 (UTC)[reply]

I don't see much accomplishment in the musical industry. An award is mentioned in the article but no reliable source to prove its true. I recommend to dratify the article as it appears to be WP:TOOSOON. Also thanks to Winged Blades of Godric for pointing out my mistakes. Masum Reza^📞 01:28, 24 June 2019 (UTC)[reply]
TOO SOON Each of the refs (other than the interview) is a mention of a song he released. Nothing here is a reliable source about him. No evidence of a significant career. Perhaps the creator of the article can find better refs, but if not, DELETE. P.S. Not the job of volunteers at Teahouse to improve weakly written articles.

For the article's claimed award Tarey sang only one of the ten songs on the album. David notMD (talk) 22:46, 2 June 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Keep he clearly meets WP:SINGER and also have a National Award Global Indian Music Academy Awards for best devotional album of the year on his name , since the article is listed for AfD i have been editing it and have added reference from reliable sources, thus i request you to kindly check it, and i am also editing it on WP:YESPOV.

Shringhringshring indefinitely blocked: Promotion / advertising-only account: meatpuppetry and covert advertising[1] Should not be accepted as a reliable !voter to keep content. Alsee (talk) 08:47, 15 June 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Comment: The 2016 GIMAA award was for the album. As I already pointed out, KT sang only one song on the album. David notMD (talk) 12:04, 3 June 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Comment: More refs added, but mostly press releases for individual songs. I still consider this WP:TOO SOON David notMD (talk) 12:09, 3 June 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Delete Fails WP:NSINGER comfortably.
TOI can't be assumed to be RS in this domain, per multiple RSN threads and current AfD practices. See User:Winged_Blades_of_Godric/Indian_Media#Times_of_India for details. N

The Quint and Midday are republishing Press Releases. N

Radioandmusic fail WP:RS. N

Vernacular sources (APN news) are strongly discouraged to be used in these areas, much less for the evaluation of notability, at the first place. See User:Winged_Blades_of_Godric/Indian_Media#Vernacular_language_media for details. N

The reddiff interview fails to secure a notability-pass, in light of WP:INTERVIEW.

GIMA awards are one of the many backscratching awards, prevalent in this industry and not notable enough to default-propel one to encyclopedic notability. ∯WBG^converse 14:06, 3 June 2019 (UTC)[reply]
- You may be right about these sources but your own opinion is not enough, for example the TOI has not been ruled unreliable at RSN, in fact the opposite opinion has been reached Atlantic306 (talk) 14:00, 6 June 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Delete, singer yes, worthy of an article, not yet. TOOSOON. Usedtobecool ^TALK 18:03, 4 June 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.
Relisting comment: disputed sources (RS, or not?) needs futher vetting
Please add new comments below this notice. Thanks, 78.26 _{(spin me / revolutions)} 16:14, 9 June 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Delete. There are a number of sources, but per ∯WBG the sources are abysmal. Some of them (particularly mid-day and Quint) are word-for-word identical bearing an explicit disclaimer of Reliability. Note on the GIMA award: This is an annually televised award, and for a while it was seriously tempting me towards a keep. However then I caught that it's an album award and Kshitij Tarey was only on one track. Maybe he has a rising career, but if so it's TOOSOON. Alsee (talk) 21:20, 9 June 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Comment. Given the second relisting, I'd like to compile the current state of responses:
- Two users indefinitely blocked, both !votes should presumably disregarded for cause. One delete by nominator blocked as a sock, and one keep blocked as an advertising-only account. (Siddharth and Shringhringshring.)
- Two !votes with minimal rationale. One delete and one keep, each lacking any clear indication of how or why the article satisfies or fails to satisfy Notability guidelines. (Masum Reza and Usedtobecool.)
- Three !votes to delete, each clearly demonstrating a detailed examination of the sourcing and all reaching the same conclusion. (David notMD, WBG, and Alsee.) Alsee (talk) 05:30, 21 June 2019 (UTC)[reply]
