 * Delete - fails WP:NMUSICIAN Spiderone  21:24, 16 September 2020 (UTC)
 * Delete per nomination. The first reference is a dead link to a blog allegedly demonstrating that one of his singles was on rotation on BBC Radio Northampton, but even this would fail WP:NMUSICIAN, as it's not a national radio station. ~dom Kaos~ (talk) 10:20, 17 September 2020 (UTC)
 * Delete: fails WP:GNG and WP:MUSICBIO. I just can't find enough evidence of serious notability – he might well have a following in UK Asian music but he doesn't appear to have attracted major attention as yet. I seriously doubt that his song was "on rotation" on BBC Radio Northampton – like most BBC local radio stations, its daytime programming is mostly news, talk shows and phone-ins, with some coverage of local sports teams in action and what little music there is, is mainstream chart music and oldies. There is one evening show per week dedicated to Asian music... my guess is that the song got one play on this show, but it certainly wouldn't have been on a daytime playlist. As an aside, About Us: The Ultimate Love Story maybe could have been bundled into this nomination, but will have to go to a separate AfD... I don't think it qualifies for speedy deletion as there's an assertion of an independent review. Richard3120 (talk) 16:09, 17 September 2020 (UTC)
