List of songs by Udit Narayan

 * – ( View AfD View log )

I respect mr. Udit Narayan but a list of songs performed by a playback singer is not-notable at all. He did not sing them nor record them. Night of the Big Wind talk  07:31, 5 December 2011 (UTC)

 * Comment Just an indiscriminate list of 1200 songs, without any independent source that verifies he actually ever sung any of them. MakeSense64 (talk) 21:49, 5 December 2011 (UTC)
 * Keep. Delete  because it is unreferenced and unlinked. However the point is he did sing and record these songs - for somebody else to mime to in a Bollywood film. --Richhoncho (talk) 14:02, 8 December 2011 (UTC)
 * I have changed from delete. I find bare lists, as this is, not exactly encyclopedic. If somebody was to add years, composers and related films then I would have voted keep from the start and this would actually be a valuable list. Maybe somebody familiar with the subject would like to consider this? Cheers. --Richhoncho (talk) 20:04, 20 December 2011 (UTC)


 * Keep Notable enough to keep. http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0621257/ He has sung thousands of song in 26 different languages. He also awarded the Padma Shri by the Government of India. -- ɑηsuмaη  ʈ ᶏ ɭ Ϟ 14:56, 9 December 2011 (UTC)
 * Did he really sing or only playback? Any sources of him singing a specific song? Any recordings of him singingen a song? Night of the Big Wind  talk  15:07, 9 December 2011 (UTC)
 * You seem to misunderstand what a playback singer is. Phil Bridger (talk) 16:11, 9 December 2011 (UTC)
 * Err, oops, argh Yes, I looked at playback singing with my Dutch glasses on. In The Netherlands, you are playbacking when you do the lip-sync, not the singing. The article made clear that that is at least inaccurate naming.  Night of the Big Wind  talk  20:46, 20 December 2011 (UTC)


 * Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion so a clearer consensus may be reached.

 * Keep - This is the equivalent of a discography for a playback singer. -- Whpq (talk) 17:39, 19 December 2011 (UTC)


 * Request speedy close as keep When I nominated the article I looked at it from a totally wrong view point. Due to growing knowledge I have to admit now that the article is notable (but could have some improvement and sourcing). Night of the Big Wind  talk  20:46, 20 December 2011 (UTC)
