 * Keep. There are several GNews results that confirm some sort of notability, and he appears to have performed several songs in film soundtracks (IMDB). He is often referred to simply as 'Rupankar', and there are several more sources when you search for that alone:, . He appears to have won a 'Telly Samman/Tele Somman Award' as Best Playback Singer in 2007 - as the award ceremony is covered on television I would say this is a sufficiently important award to confer notability. I suspect that someone who has released that many albums will have coverage in his home country even if Google doesn't find it. --Michig (talk) 13:35, 11 November 2012 (UTC)
