Notability
The first Times of India source here seems to be a self-recorded 29-second video of the subject talking about his aspirations. I know it says Times of India, which is normally a reliable source, but is this some sort of crowdsourced platform they offer?

The second ToI source is a very short mention in a short story about the song.

Gaana.com and iTunes can't be used to prove notability. Springboard records is likely affiliated?

Scroll.in also a very short mention in a very short story. --valereee (talk) 14:30, 12 May 2019 (UTC)


 * I see that SPA creator has removed the notability tag once before. Abhayoct13th, you need to let some other editor remove the notability tag. --valereee (talk) 14:32, 12 May 2019 (UTC)


 * I have added some new citations. Please have a check.

 * , if you'll start your reply with one more colon than are before the response you're replying to, it'll indent correctly and let other editors know who it is you're replying to. I have three before this one, so you'd want to have four when replying to me. You need a new set every time you hit return to start a new line.


 * Re: the new citations. None of them look any different from what was there before to me. They're all affiliated, crowdsourced, listings on sales sites, or bare mentions. None would go to showing notability. You'll need at least three instances of significant coverage (that is, a long discussion of the subject, not simply a short mention) in reliable sources (that is, not affiliated with the subject, not crowdsourced, and preferably from major respected news outlets.)


 * While the Times of India is normally considered a reliable source, the first citation is to their entertainment coverage, which counts as paid advertising. The second is also entertainment coverage, and in any case isn't significant coverage. So even those two sources don't show notability, and none of the others are useful for anything but simple verification of fact, not for proving notability. I'm afraid this subject simply isn't notable yet.


 * I'd also like to talk about a possible conflict of interest. While we don't forbid the subjects of articles from contributing, we do need you to state it clearly here on the article talk page. We do also highly recommend that article subjects not edit the article about themselves directly but instead post edit requests here on the talk page. While you're in a good position to be aware of all coverage, your conflict of interest can affect your ability to write about yourself objectively. --valereee (talk) 11:58, 13 May 2019 (UTC)


 * I read about the conflict of interest editing. I would like to state that I'm not related to the subject in any direct manner and I'm also not paid by any individual or company to write the article. I would also like to admit that the subject is a singer who hails from the city I reside in. The purpose of my editing is to have an article about a new artist who has sung songs for films under old and reliable music labels.
 * I duly respect the policies of wikipedia about editing and I'll try to take care that my editing in no way affects the quality of the article. I'm a newbie here and I'm constantly trying to improve. All the editors are welcomed to suggest, improve and contribute to the article.

 * What I would suggest is that we move this article to your userspace. You can work then on it without pressure while you try to find sources that support notability. I can make that move for you, if you like. --valereee (talk) 18:57, 13 May 2019 (UTC)


 * I agree that the article can be edited without any pressure in my userspace, however I think it can be better edited with the contribution of other editors too. The page is also getting quite a number of views, I noticed. But if you do not find it fulfilling the criteria to be sustained in the mainspace, you may move it to my userspace.

 * I'm afraid that if we don't move it to userspace, the only other option is that it will be nominated for deletion. I'll go ahead and move it. --valereee (talk) 19:54, 13 May 2019 (UTC)
