Asha Bhosle-Kishore Kumar Pair

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

We have separate articles on List of songs recorded by Kishore Kumar and List of songs recorded by Asha Bhosle aside from the Category:Kishore Kumar songs and Category:Asha Bhosle songs. Also, the article doesn't in even remote sense mention how and why the list of pair's duet songs are notable enough for their own separate article. Also adding following article in same Afd:

Let me narrate a funny incident that was challenging. Both Kishore Kumar and i, early in our careers, went for a duet recording — the sound recordist rejected both of us because we didn't have 'good' voices. Kishore Kumar was very dejected.He joked we should become street singers since we couldn't make it into cinema. I remember consoling him.We worked with renewed vigour, putting our best efforts into our profession — the rest is history. So, this proves that they were good friends and also sang many duets.

 * Keep - I've made a search on the net. I've found an interview of Asha Bhosle in which she recollects mmemories with Kishore Kumar, that how they were rejected as a duo and then secured a strong career by changing their singing styles. Asha Bhosle says


 * Keep -Both subjects meet GNG standard. Asha Bhosle and Kishore Kumar have sung together 600 songs and Asha Bhosle-Mohammed Rafi Pair, a thousand, yes, 1,000, in a time span of more than three decades (1950-1987). It was this time Bollywood was on its rise and these achievements are definitely an indication of notability. If one is looking for multiple newspapers on them, they should be aware that Indian newspapers do not keep archives for publications before 2000 (WP:INDAFD), so, that may be a tedious job. There still are however many coverage on them in the mainstream reputed sources published after 2000, few are in the respective articles, one is above my comment.

 * Delete per nom - the individual duet partners may be notable but the duet partnership itself has to be shown to be independently notable to the extent it needs a separate article, and that hasn't been proven here. Without wanting to trip a WP:OTHERSTUFF alarm, we don't have articles for e.g. Marvin Gaye and Tammi Terrell. ✤ Fosse   8 ✤  16:51, 20 February 2015 (UTC)
