The result was delete. While there is support to redirect this to the band's article, that article has been deleted. All opinions, including that of "redirect" appear to be that this content doesn't belong in its current form. &mdash; Spaceman  Spiff  03:08, 26 May 2017 (UTC)

Notability issue. — usernamekiran (talk)  20:41, 19 May 2017 (UTC)
 * According to the notability criteria, finishing 1st, 2nd, or 3rd in a music competition grants notability, and the page states that this musician was 1st runner up on a TV music competition(which I take to mean 2nd place). The article is slim and could use some sourcing improvement, but this musician would seem to merit an article, unless you know information I do not. 331dot (talk) 20:46, 19 May 2017 (UTC)
 * hi. I apologise for the cnfusion. The subject, Rajan, didnt come up second or the runner up. It was the band that he is member of. I am still not sure if that reality show is over, and if the band won. Still searching on internet. PS: How to update "concer" for the deletion? — usernamekiran (talk)  20:56, 19 May 2017 (UTC)
 * Thanks for your reply. That is helpful, as if it was this person's band that merits an article, this article should just be turned into a redirect to the page about the band if one exists.  331dot (talk) 21:03, 19 May 2017 (UTC)
 * I updated the article a little. All the WP:RS make passing reference to band itself. A couple of websites mention him as the band member. Nothing much. — usernamekiran (talk)  21:31, 19 May 2017 (UTC)

 * lol. Isn't that how AfD now-a-days?  — usernamekiran (talk)   21:31, 19 May 2017 (UTC)
 * SInce time immemorable. When I was a lad, we had to carry our ProD's on our backs through the snow, going uphill both ways.21:35, 19 May 2017 (UTC)Dlohcierekim (talk) 21:35, 19 May 2017 (UTC)


 * Rename and repurpose this page into an article about the band; this person's name can be a redirect. 331dot (talk) 21:43, 19 May 2017 (UTC)
 * Said article is already at Euphony Official and is on the block as well.Dlohcierekim (talk) 21:49, 19 May 2017 (UTC)
 * I didn't realize that existed, thanks; then (assuming that survivies) this should just be redirected. 331dot (talk) 21:52, 19 May 2017 (UTC)
 * I dont think either of them will survive. They were created with COI. An account with band's name, IP hopping, another a/c with name roshan.tony — usernamekiran (talk)   22:19, 19 May 2017 (UTC)

 * delete dearth of coverage, does not meet WP:GNG. The contest was not sufficiently significant to meet WP:Music. Subject does not meet WP:Music.Dlohcierekim (talk) 17:24, 23 May 2017 (UTC)
 * Redirect per our usual practice for runner-up of lesser reality show contests, to Dil Hai Hindustani. The link to the outcomes specified major contests. Bearian (talk) 14:37, 24 May 2017 (UTC)
 * I disagree. Rajan's article should be deleted with no redirect. If anything, the band that he is member of, should be mentioned on the show's article. With another sentence mentioning Rajan as a band member. — usernamekiran (talk)  19:31, 25 May 2017 (UTC)
