 * delete- not yet notable. could be considered for wiki when he become so. Educationtemple (talk) 13:36, 12 April 2015 (UTC)
 * He (creator of article) seems to be a naive user, written first article. Did mistakes! However, In the light of new sources added in the article, it seems that the singer has some coverage in secondary sources, certainly he has a wonderful mesmerizing voice. Article could be tweaked to improve and make neutral. I can help for that, if consider it appropriate and if there are no other technical issues other than notability Educationtemple (talk) 09:08, 14 April 2015 (UTC)
 * Comment His voice doesn't come into it. The requirement is for significant coverage in reliable sources. Kappa TV isn't a reliable source, so that leaves us with the Times of India and The Hindu. I don't know enough about Indian media to judge their reliability so I will leave it to others better qualified to do so. Philg88 ♦talk 09:39, 14 April 2015 (UTC)
 * Comment Agree. Certainly the voice does not come to picture. Also agree that Kappa news in not a reliable source. Lets see, if the creator / other editors provide us with some more sources to support the notability claims. Educationtemple (talk) 09:48, 14 April 2015 (UTC)
 * Update - I did some tweaking, clean up on the article. Hope it helps to some extent to search for specific citations. Will try to find some more reliable sources. Educationtemple (talk) 10:55, 14 April 2015 (UTC)


 * As you have said there is no page for Kaushik Menon, it is true, but I was not aware of it before. I have actually redirected the page User:Kaushikmenon.singer (someone else created previously) to Kaushik Menon (singer). If the title "Kaushik Menon" is available I am ready to take it and solve this issue. --Kaushiksinger (talk) 12:02, 15 April 2015 (UTC)


 * Thanks for mentioning the mistake, I have now given significant coverage to the reliable resources and also included the source to the singer's voice from YouTube channel. --Kaushiksinger (talk) 12:02, 15 April 2015 (UTC)


 * Thanks for tweaking and cleaning up the profile. It was very helpful in correcting it with right citations. And I hope now the page looks legible with reliable sources. --Kaushiksinger (talk) 12:02, 15 April 2015 (UTC)

Hope I have made the necessary changes. If anything else is there to be notable, please do let me know. I will fix it.

Hereby I request you to not propose this article for deletion. Please consider my request upon this. Thank you and awaiting your reply! --Kaushiksinger (talk) 12:02, 15 April 2015 (UTC)


 * Reply: to the user of above comment. You have done complete mess here, non of your comment is signed and the page we are discussing is not a page, it is a redirect. You say that it was a userpage. I am not sure, how this will be dealt technically now in either case. But you should first ask others and then do something rather than playing as if you are playing in facebook.

 * Comment - I think article looks much better now. Educationtemple (talk) 16:14, 15 April 2015 (UTC)


 * Keep  I agree with Educationtemple. Since this article was updated it does have references across multiple WP:RS and thus meets WP:GNG and crosses the threshold of notability.     WordSeventeen (talk) 14:46, 18 April 2015 (UTC)
