 Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.
 * Keep one of the first hip hop artists in Nepal in the duo GP (which is suggested as a search term) according to this reliable source here Atlantic306 (talk) 01:01, 10 September 2017 (UTC)
 * Delete: with the greatest respect to Atlantic306, I think their !vote fundamentally mistakes what notability is. Being the first to do something in itself confers no notability.  For example, "Bob was one of the first opera singers in Iceland" is a similar statement (assume it is backed up with one reliable source) doesn't make Bob notable in the slightest.  Often, being the first person to do something will elicit media coverage which does confer notability.  However, there simply aren't enough reliable sources that give significant coverage to suggest that is the case here.  Khatiwada appears to have had little impact on his field of music and fails musician notability standards.  The source Atlantic306 provided covers the duo of which he is a part.  Maybe that duo would pass band notability standards but as a standalone article, it's a delete from me.    Dr Strauss   talk   16:03, 10 September 2017 (UTC)
 * Comment I meant he has received sig coverage partly because he was jointly with his co - rapper the first hip hop artist in Nepal and therefore passes WP:GNG, another source here and this one here both describe him as a music pioneer in Nepal so he does have a significant effect on his field and passes WP:NMUSIC. Having an article on the duo would be a good alternative to this article if it goes. Atlantic306 (talk) 16:58, 10 September 2017 (UTC)

 * Delete The coverage does not rise to the level required to pass the notability guidelines for musicians.John Pack Lambert (talk) 15:09, 23 September 2017 (UTC)
