Bimalendu Mukherjee

The given sources describe Mukherjee as a sitar teacher, but they are trivial mentions and don't provide a criterion of WP:TEACH, WP:MUSICBIO, or WP:BIO. Notability does not automatically extend from son to father. Hekerui (talk) 18:36, 8 May 2009 (UTC) Hekerui (talk) 18:36, 8 May 2009 (UTC)
 * Keep – Though there are no in-depth interviews concerning Bimalendu Mukherjee specifically, references to the individual by the people being interviewed use phrases such as “…a disciple of Pandit Shri Bimalendu Mukherjee’ or “…from sitar maestro Pandit Bimalendu Mukherjee” and even “…legendás Bimalendu Mukherjee’’. In that the people interviewed refer to the individual in such highly regarded terms, as shown here, in numerous interviews, in my opinion bestows and meets the inclusion guidelines as outlined under  Creative professionals where it states “…The person is regarded as an important figure or is widely cited by their peers or successors’.

 * Keep Mentioning in sources such as The Hindu mets guidelines. Dr. Blofeld       White cat 19:55, 8 May 2009 (UTC)
 * Comment references are also needed to provide verifiable content for an encyclopedia article, not just to establish notability. You can debate what trivial mentions are but you still need substance to write about. Drawn Some (talk) 20:39, 8 May 2009 (UTC)

 * Comment - No, notability is notability and states so in the guidelines. As it is written in the notability guideline as shown here "... If a topic has met the general notability guideline, there is no need to show continual coverage from news sources.".  Thanks - ShoesssS Talk 23:30, 8 May 2009 (UTC)
 * Keep He is included in Who's who of Indian musicians published by Sangeet Natak Akademi (as seen on google books). I have expanded and added a few more print references to the article. Those plus the mentions noted by User:Shoessss clearly establish notability. Abecedare (talk) 00:06, 9 May 2009 (UTC)
