 * Delete - Unfortunately, it seems this musician existed at the middle of the 20th century so any sources are probably not Internet-based or English at all, but I searched at Google News and Books with no avail. Emphasizing that sources are obviously not English is the fact that all references currently listed are not English. It saddens me to say this seems to be the case with too many India-related topics. What makes this article worse is that it is written like a personal biography. SwisterTwister   talk  04:25, 20 November 2012 (UTC)


 * Comment I have heard about this singer. Searching in Google News and Google Books will not be helpful! He is a singer of pre-internet era! Can you ask someone who knows Telugu ?, he may help to collect sources! --Tito Dutta (talk) 13:37, 20 November 2012 (UTC)


 * Comment there is another page with identical content: Dusi Benarji Bhagavatar.--GDibyendu (talk) 18:36, 25 November 2012 (UTC)

 * I've left a message on the Noticeboard for India-related topics WT:INB to see if someone can provide some sources. Callanecc (talk • contribs • logs) 00:24, 27 November 2012 (UTC)


 * Weak delete - I saw Callanecc's post on WT:IND so I started browsing around. I was at a library and tried to search few books in which he might would have some mention. I searched about 7-8 books but didn't find anything. The reason was that the books here are having ample amount of sources regarding the culture of Western part of India and this person hails from South. He should have some mentions in books either in Telugu literature or somewhere in South India. I cannot help much because from where I come from, there are hardly any ways to access Telugu works or materials about south in minute details or remotely notable topics such as this bio.

 * Maybe. The Telugu Academy Award may be notable.  The award (to someone else) is metioned in Who's Who of Indian Authors.  Finding this prompted me to look for Who's Who of Indian Musicians.  Such a book (and several similar ones) do exist in English language, but sadly not accessible online.  Someone would have to go to a library to verify if he has an entry.

 * Delete Given the responses so far, if we can't source it, and we can't determine under which guideline it should be kept, then it should be deleted. Userify it, with no prejudice to a return to article space once it can be actually sourced. Sometimes the lack of depth in the internets sucks, but that's how it is. And I'd be more than willing to reverse my !vote if someone can add some references to it. § FreeRangeFrog 02:17, 29 November 2012 (UTC)
 * Delete. Of the 5 only 2 are from a news source. I guess given the age of the subject it will be hard to find online sources, but per above, this seems to be difficult as well. I agree with userfying it for future additions. Dengero (talk) 04:52, 29 November 2012 (UTC)
