OR tags and general issues
This article is written like a religious text and is highly POV. It needs major trimming. Anything relating to the symbolic/religious aspects of the music needs a source, and it needs to be written per WP:NPOV. I will certainly try to come back, but I have no ability to get the references needed, so if I do the editing, its going to be primarily removal, not modification.

 * I have taken it right back because the large additions made on 23 April 2010 were copy/pastes of material that can be found in the Wayback machine at least one year prior to that. - Sitush (talk) 13:20, 18 May 2011 (UTC)

Useful link for Music and culture of Haryana
http://www.4to40.com/music/print.asp?p=Folklore_of_Haryana_Part-II&k=Iktara.-- is a useful link providing some good info about Music of Haryana. It seems difficult to bring the info into main article as it will violate copyrights. And there doesn't seem to be other references to support it. Anyways the article is very good and covers many parts of music and culture of Haryana. I found the link good enough to post it here. Mahesh Kumar Yadav (talk) 14:16, 18 May 2011 (UTC)

 * That is the copyvio'd content. Mahesh, I think that you should take note of your mentor's comment regarding participation on talk pages. You did not create this article and perhaps should avoid it for now. It is the top of a slippery slope and I'd hate to see you drawn down it. - Sitush (talk) 14:21, 18 May 2011 (UTC)

Potentially useful book if someone can get it
On Talk:Haryanvi music (the article for which was redirected here a few days ago), User:Jodi.a.schneider mentioned the following book: Cassette culture: popular music and technology in north India by Peter Lamarche Manuel - 1993. On pages 142 & 143, Haryavni music is discussed. The problem is that while Google Books has page 142, it doesn't have page 143. So if anyone can get this book, it may have good information that we could add here. Qwyrxian (talk) 13:00, 20 May 2011 (UTC)


 * There is a trick that sometimes works in these situations. Use Amazon to see if they have their "look inside" feature enabled for the book, as often this reveals different pages to those freed up for use in Google Books' preview. Unfortunately, it doesn't reveal anything in this instance. I'll do some digging. - Sitush (talk) 13:06, 20 May 2011 (UTC)

De-Prod
Looking into Google Books, I see a bunch of books on the Music of India or the Music of Haryana, or Haryavni music. Now, some of them look clearly like unreliable self-published sources. I can't look carefully enough, though, to tell which ones would be best to cite. But Saangi, in particular, seem to be mentioned a few times. As such, I'm inclined to think that there probably is a notable topic under this title, but that we just haven't cited it yet. I'll add this to my long-term projects list, but no promises. If its Afd'd, I probably won't fight it if I can't find anything, but I think there's at least an average chance that this is notable. Qwyrxian (talk) 01:18, 14 July 2011 (UTC)


 * I got tired of looking through SPS and download sites, which I have done on and off since the MYK saga, but if you want to have a go then fine by me. - Sitush (talk) 10:43, 14 July 2011 (UTC)
