The article was considered for speedy deletion, but subsequently passed after copyrighted material from the official website of the subject was included. I removed copyrighted material but put every reliable source I could find in the article. I believe the article still fails notability for both music and academics.

I am also nominating the following related page because it is a redirect to the page in question:


 * Comment--I found this. If one or two more sources pop up I think there might be enough for an article, for a weak keep. Drmies (talk) 23:15, 1 April 2009 (UTC)
 * I don't know exactly what to make of this. Drmies (talk) 23:21, 1 April 2009 (UTC)
 * I'm not sure he's the same person. Hekerui (talk) 12:20, 2 April 2009 (UTC)

 * Difficult to decide from the article and the references provided - Does not say his awards, his achievements and how much he is associated with Ram Narayan etc. --Athos, Porthos, and Aramis (talk) 00:19, 2 April 2009 (UTC)
 * Delete. I'm the one who originally tagged this article for speedy deletion, but I withdrew when the creator made edits that addressed the A7 concern by inserting sources. However, these two sources are trivial: the Allmusic page for Singh does exist, but it is currently blank. The other source simply states that Singh is a pupil of such and such. No prejudice against recreation once Singh makes a name for himself. --  Blanchardb - Me•MyEars•MyMouth - timed 12:11, 2 April 2009 (UTC)
 * Please note that it was in April of last year that I tagged this article for speedy deletion. --  Blanchardb - Me•MyEars•MyMouth - timed 12:15, 2 April 2009 (UTC)
 * Delete as nominator. Hekerui (talk) 12:20, 2 April 2009 (UTC)
 * Keep Given that the London college of Music page describes him as "He has established himself as a wonderful artist and a great teacher in this astonishing instrument", he well might be. These pages on their faculty do not appear to be written by the individuals concerned. I agree they are not wholly independent, but it's a very reputable institution. Needs a proper check for sources in the languages and country most likely to have them, but what's there is a sufficient indication that it is sourceable. . DGG (talk) 22:12, 5 April 2009 (UTC)
 * Have you noticed that the page which makes that statement is under the section "Staff profiles"? --  Blanchardb - Me•MyEars•MyMouth - timed 00:28, 6 April 2009 (UTC)
 * Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion so consensus may be reached. Please add new comments below this notice. Thanks, X  clamation point  02:46, 6 April 2009 (UTC)
