Non-notable singer. Fails WP:MUSIC and WP:GNG. Lack of coverage in reliable sources. Some of the sources don't even mention him and most are trivial. — Za  wl  14:58, 1 October 2017 (UTC)

 Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.
 * Delete does not meet notability guidelines for musicians.John Pack Lambert (talk) 17:56, 1 October 2017 (UTC)
 * Strong keep Sources like this one, this one and this one make the subject notable and verified, and more so than most bios in Wikipedia. Plenty of sources on Highbeam as well. Neodop (talk) 11:38, 2 October 2017 (UTC)
 * Keep. Neodop has clearly refuted the arguments for deletion above. 86.17.222.157 (talk) 21:47, 2 October 2017 (UTC)
 * Delete: while has provided some coverage, it falls short of WP:MUSICBIO.  Any major chartings?  No.  Any major reviews about his music and his musical life?  No.  These are just interviews and the like.    Dr Strauss   talk   22:46, 2 October 2017 (UTC)
 * Keep: Regarding WP:MUSICBIO, no official major charting exists for Nepali music. For major review, this one and this one are review about his song 'Raam Naam' and 'Dr KC anthem' respectively.So this satisfy the criteria of WP:MUSICBIO AmRit GhiMire "Ranjit" 16:39, 7 October 2017 (UTC)

 * Delete - Fails WP:MUSIC. Sourcing isn't notable... --  Dane  talk  00:57, 12 October 2017 (UTC)
 * Keep. I'm swayed by 's point that, without any music charts to speak of in Nepal, we should consider other sources to avoid systemic bias here. There are some very good references here that suggest WP:GNG notability. Look at this profile video in The Diplomat: that's depth of coverage in a major publication. Here's a review of one of the subject's songs in the Kathmandu Post, one of the country's biggest newspapers. There are others. This article clearly meets the bar of the GNG.

 * Keep Per arguments above -- this is a battle between the GNG and an SNG. Since Nepal doesn't have any music charts, meeting MUSICBIO is not possible. It's notable. The subject has received good coverage as a standard BLP. My name is not dave (talk/contribs) 11:15, 16 October 2017 (UTC)
