The result was Move to Sabita Chowdhury. Per Antorjal it appears that the article confuses two people by the same name, one of whom is not notable and one of whom is and already has an article under her married name. It needs cleaning up to separate the two. Yomangani talk 22:59, 18 October 2006 (UTC)

 * Keep - per Ageo020.  Noble eagle  [TALK] [C] 07:05, 12 October 2006 (UTC)
 * Delete At the moment the article does not express notability. If someone expands it before close, fair enough, but do not allow this to stay like this. The JPS talk to me  09:46, 12 October 2006 (UTC)
 * Strong keep She was an actress, therefore notable. P.B. Pilh  e  t  /  Talk  15:57, 12 October 2006 (UTC)
 * Strong Keep - per AGeo and PB.Bakaman Bakatalk 23:08, 12 October 2006 (UTC)
 * Delete the article does not assort her notability. Simply being an actress does not make her notable - she has to bas WP:BIO which she does not appear to do. Ultra-Loser Talk 01:17, 13 October 2006 (UTC)
 * Delete Sources are very weak. Actress is a female who acts in theatrics.  I can appear once or twice in some minor movies, and I'm actor.  That doesn't infer much special(I could have been an extra).  She was also a teacher and a social worker the article says. Sounds like she wasn't much of an actor. IMDB is very sparse.  To me, it looks like she was hired a few times to sing in some Indian movies.  Beyond that, I can't tell, and that's a bad sign.  In playback recorder it claims that most films in Bollywood are musicals.  Which makes her a dime a dozen in terms of singing in general. (All the actors either must sing or lipsync to playback records there)  Can we get honest evidence to the contrary?  The lists so far don't do much for me.  Kevin_b_er 02:06, 13 October 2006 (UTC)
 * Strong Keep and merge/create with Sabita Chowdhury As far as I am aware, she is NOT an actress, she is a singer and a household name in at least West Bengal, India and Bangladesh, I'll wager. The article body refers to a different individual that is non-notable but with the same name, hence the confusion but the references refer to Sabita (Banerjee) Chowdhury. So if the result of the debate is keep, I will rewrite it to reflect that. The filmography is incomplete because like most people here, at IMDB, people were not aware that the more famous Sabita Banerjee married Music Director Salil Chowdhury and was credited as Sabita Chowdhury afterwards. She's had quite a prolific career and has been (along with Lata Mangeshkar, one of Salil's two favorite singers). I hope editors reconsider in light of this fact. Also there are 4860 hits on google for "Sabita Chowdhury", mostly for her, which will establish her notability as a singer, if the fact that her songs are available on iTunes, emusic, MSN, and a host of other sites is insufficient. On emusic.com there are 25 songs of hers available as a solo singer, she has eight other pairings with other singers. Incidentally, there is only one song available for her as Sabita Banerjee.

 * Keep. Notability is established. Could use some better references, though.--Cúchullain t/ c 18:58, 14 October 2006 (UTC) Oops, I was thinking of the singer. The singer is notable, the article should be re-written to be about her, and in that case keep, unless someone provides sources that the teacher is more notable than it appears.--Cúchullain t/ c  19:02, 14 October 2006 (UTC)
 * Comment I believe the teacher/actress is non-notable but the singer is notable. If we can agree on that then I'll rewrite the article deleting the current contents and focus on the Singer Sabita (Banerjee) Chowdhury. Barring any sort of consensus, I do not want to delete the current contents or put them in an "Other uses" category. Also I will then proceed to redirect from Sabita Banerjee to Sabita Chowdhury (as opposed to the other way around) since she has done the bulk of her singing after marriage using that name. Thanks.--Antorjal 16:19, 15 October 2006 (UTC)
