No indication of independent notability outside of the band per WP:MUSICBIO. He is mentioned in several WP:RS, but always in the context of his leadership of the band, including for the commendable charity work he does, the latter of which only appears to be newsworthy because of his leadership of the notable band.

 * Weak Keep There does appear to be independent notability outside of the band. http://rollingstoneindia.com/the-imphal-music-project-lends-voice-to-shahbag-protests/ is about the subject and http://www.thehindubusinessline.com/blink/watch/ballads-for-the-homeland/article7685672.ece directly discusses him. http://www.news18.com/blogs/author/akhu-chingangbam-11526.html is a series of articles he wrote, but it is a borderline case. It could just be that the media isn't reflecting his Anglicized name. Walter Görlitz (talk) 17:07, 29 September 2017 (UTC)
 * Keep A news search seems to bring back promising hits. At the very least, since his name is a legitimate search term, it should be merged or redirected, not deleted. Ritchie333 (talk) (cont)  17:48, 29 September 2017 (UTC)
