WP:TOOSOON at best. Aside from this SIGCOV, even mere mentions are not found in online portals of reputed reliable sources. The thing about that WP:SIGCOV, aside from being promotional which almost all Nepali entertainment coverage is, is that its clone is found here in another WP:RS. It was posted two days later and credits the piece to "Annapurna", calling it news which it isn't. That raises question about both reliability and independence; one SIGCOV isn't enough anyway.

 Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.
 * Comment. While I agree with the nominator's analysis overall, my only hesitation to voting delete is the claimed award wins which the nominator did not address in the source analysis. @ is there a reason why we should not count these awards towards notability?4meter4 (talk) 00:39, 27 September 2021 (UTC)
 * Thank you 4meter4! I did not mention them because the sources are trash and the awards wouldn't otherwise be enough for notability. I have never heard of the last two awards. I don't follow the field closely but when I've seen awards listed on other musician bios, I've at least been able to say that I've heard of them. They are sourced to an English site; I think you'll be able to tell the site is spam and not acceptable. It mentions the Young Mind Award but not the Everest Award. Searching for "Everest Music Award" on google gives exactly two results: this article and one mirror. My best guess is, Everest Award is a hoax ("Sagarmatha" is the Nepali word for Mt. Everest). For Young Minds Award, Google goes directly to the UK, even though I am searching from Nepal. That leaves "Sagarmath Music Award" which I have seen listed on other bios on Wikipedia but it does not have an article and it can't be used to presume notability. I found an RS about the award. It says there are 44 categories. The cited nonRS gives the list which has four different categories for "Best Male Model". I don't know why models would have different categories per genre, except to increase the number of recipients. The RS also says the awards are presented based on "sms voting and jury judgement". It does not even bother to list all the categories and winners. So, the newsworthy bit with the event was that a minister was present and one artist got a lifetime achievement award and a few journalists were recognised; I think if winning here meant anything, the news would start with who won best singer, composer, song, album, etc. What help is an award list without a verifying RS alongside it?
