Subject of article lacks in-depth significant coverage in reliable sources & doesn’t seem to satisfy any criterion from WP:MUSICBIO. A before search shows no evidence of notability. Celestina007 (talk) 22:16, 5 July 2020 (UTC)

 * Delete per nom. The article is borderline G11, so also per WP:TNT. Usedtobecool ☎️ 15:48, 6 July 2020 (UTC)

 * Keep . This guy belongs to the Edge Band, a musical group with about 10 years history and considered fairly sucessful Rock band in Nepal (in radios and tvs). As with most of the topics related to Nepal, there is no sufficient media coverage for proving notability except in few entertainment magzines and blogs. nirmal (talk) 01:50, 7 July 2020 (UTC)
 * made a skeleton article for The Edge Band. nirmal (talk) 10:21, 7 July 2020 (UTC)

 Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.
 * Keep Jeewan Gurung is a vocalist of one of the most popular Nepalese band “The Edge band". He is one of the most liked singer in Nepali music. (Himalayanwalkers| (talk) 00:23, 13 July 2020 (UTC))

 * Delete per nom. The keep votes are going against Wikipedia policy here, no matter what content it is or where it's from, it must satisfy Wikipedia's notability guidelines. ɴᴋᴏɴ21  ❯❯❯  talk  08:40, 14 July 2020 (UTC)
 * Its a Notability Guideline not a Notablity Law nirmal (talk) 08:57, 14 July 2020 (UTC)
 * Absolutely wrong. If a subject fails those guidelines, then it warrants it being deleted. ɴᴋᴏɴ21  ❯❯❯  talk  09:07, 14 July 2020 (UTC)

 * Comment-- I suspected it might come to this. In the current revision (permalink), [1] is an Apple Music tracklist, [2] and [13] are the same personal blog (non-RS, WP:ELNO), [3] is a puff-piece in non-RS. [4] is concert promotion in news format in a website that does list an editorial board, I don't consider the website qualifying for WP:N, though it may be good enough for WP:V sometimes. More importantly, the piece makes no mention of the subject, none. [5] (duplicate of [11]) is last.fm (open to editing by everyone; non-RS), coverage is about the band with passing mention of the subject. [6] is a link to lyrics in a lyrics repository (non-RS; no coverage on the subject; shouldn't even be linked per WP:COPYVIOEL). [7] is routine coverage of a concert in the website of local FM station, possibly RS but doesn't qualify for WP:N, no mention of the subject anyway. [8] is lyrics and chord (again WP:COPYVIOEL) in non-RS, no coverage on the subject. [9] is a clone of [3] in another WP:COPYVIOEL non-RS (song and chord). [10] is reverbnation, calls itself an expert in promoting artists and marketing, link is to a track, no coverage (another WP:ELNO). [14] is another clone of [3] embedded in an advertisement in non-RS. [15] is a youtube video clip of a concert (another WP:COPYVIOEL) with 52 views and 1 like in 2.5 years, no mention of the subject in the title, description, comments or suggested related videos. [16] is a routine coverage of a concert in non-reputable media which does list a skeletal editorial team, possibly acceptable for WP:V but not for WP:N, no coverage on the subject anyway. [12] is the only source that comes anywhere close to being acceptable and it says one thing and one thing only on the subject in an otherwise a promotion for an upcoming concert, ... Jeewan Gurung of Edge Band implored the audience not to miss [the concert].. So, finally, we have reliable confirmation that there is a band called "Edge" which has a member named "Jeewan Gurung". No indication otherwise even in the non-RS to suggest the subject might meet any of the notability criteria. I strongly reiterate my call for WP:TNT. I will note that there is some indication (though in non-RS) that the Edge Band might meet some WP:NMUSIC criterion. Note thought that notability is WP:NOTINHERITED. Also note that the nom that the delete votes referred to does argue from policy while there have been no keep votes that have made any policy-based arguments (again, NOTINHERITED). Regards!

 * Delete A number of sources have mentioned only one thing "lead vocalist of the Edge Jeewan Gurung". At present, it doesn't satisfy the general notability criteria. TheBirdsShedTears (talk) 15:48, 26 July 2020 (UTC)
 * Redirect to The Edge Band, the only pieces of coverage found in reliable sources are passing mentions, meaning that this person fails GNG and WP:MUSICBIO. Devonian Wombat (talk) 22:13, 27 July 2020 (UTC)
