 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

Non-notable singer.All mentions are trivial and chiefly present in city-special supplements of newspapers as a performer among many others similarly mentioned, in local music-shows.Established a band but it too has got trivial promotional coverage.Addatimes,LaughaLafi,Gaana,ITunes et al are non-reliable as are interviews.

Madhubanti Bagchi is a notable singer in the Bengali film industry singing in numerous notable Bengali films which have their individual Wikipedia and IMDb pages which have also been hyperlinked in the article. Her achievements regarding her band and her solo career have been published in leading daily newspapers like Times of india, The Telegraph (Calcutta) and Ei Samay Sangbadpatra. The Wikipedia reliability criteria has not mentioned that news articles in 'local' newspapers are not considered reliable or notable. The artists like Neel Dutt, Savvy Gupta, Indraadip Dasgupta whose links have been mentioned in the article also have been mentioned in "city-special supplements" of newspapers and it seems they have complied to the terms of notability and authenticity. Madhubanti Bagchi has also done playbacks for Bollywood and Mollywood movies. This article has been created with the reference of the several Wikipedia pages that have been linked within it and by the guidelines stated by Wikipedia. Saying that it is non-notable due to the aforementioned reasons indicates a lot of its references to be non-notable as well. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Taurus 27 (talk • contribs) 18:55, 28 June 2017 (UTC)

Madhubanti Bagchi is a well-known and famous playback singer. She has worked with popular music directors and worked in well-known movies in well-known film industries such as Tollywood, Bollywood. Request to delete this page doesn't hold any ground. Information on this page are accurate. She is a notable singer and worked with various well known music directors in many movies. All mentioned references are either from popular newspapers such as Times of india, The Telegraph (Calcutta) and Ei Samay Sangbadpatra or from other verified wikipedia pages. So the articles are news coverage or interviews by independent sources and not promotional articles. All the sources mentioned are based on the guide lines of wikipedia independent sources. These reputed newspapers are leading news papers of Kolkata and can't be marked as unimportant or insignificant sources. The user who requested the page for deletion is probably not aware of the news media or entertainment industry of Kolkata or India. And this deletion request only reflects ignorance to a particular place or culture. This article is created based on proper guidelines and none of the references are illegitimate. Even if there was any question on any particular reference then that should have been addressed specifically rather than discouraging the whole page and requesting for its deletion.

 * Striking due to meatpuppetry. See Sockpuppet investigations/Taurus 27. ~ Rob 13 Talk 02:29, 30 June 2017 (UTC)

I know it's a little too obvious to entice someone to take my wager, as if the proposition has an element of chance, but: who wants to bet that Pinoy boy and User:Taurus 27 are the same person? lol. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 220.184.239.242 (talk) 20:19, 28 June 2017 (UTC)

 * I reported Taurus 27 for a sock-puppet investigation, but I don't think he's actually been blocked. GretLomborg (talk) 21:55, 29 June 2017 (UTC)


 * Comment G5 was a bit presumptuous, as the article was not created by the sock of a previously blocked user evading said block. That said, the actual meat puppet !vote has been stricken.Dlohcierekim (talk) 15:50, 30 June 2017 (UTC)
 * Delete Subject does not meet GNG. Lacks significant coverage in WP:RS, no matter how many times (an) editor(s) use(s) the word "notable" to describe him in the article or this discussion. Dlohcierekim (talk) 15:50, 30 June 2017 (UTC)
 * Delete this fails NARTIST and well as GNG. --Bejnar (talk) 05:29, 6 July 2017 (UTC)
