The last AfD was closed as no consensus, but only attracted one comment. I'm hopeful it can be better resolved this time. It is hard when sources are not in English. Although this looks like it has a lot of references, they essentially go to the same source. I couldn't prove that this meets WP:MUSICBIO or WP:GNG. As it has been tagged for WP:NOTABILITY for over seven years without resolution, it needs a good discussion. Boleyn (talk) 10:28, 27 March 2015 (UTC)

 * Revisiting this, using help from Google Translate, I can find वसंत प्रभू (Vasant Prabhu) within Marathi articles but has no article of its own. Since his name also translates to "lord spring", it's difficult to get a good read. I have no doubt that he has participated in all that is claimed, but proving notability is still next to impossible without a Marathi language helper. - CobaltBlueTony™ talk  19:17, 5 April 2015 (UTC)
 * Keep about a memorial program in his honour in 2008 Maharashtra Times. Notes the following 4 popular songs ' तुझ्या गळा माझ्या गळा', 'आली हासत पहिली रात', 'लेक लाडकी या घरची', 'प्रेमा काय देऊ तुला?' are his best-known compositions. talks about his partnership with notable Marathi lyricist P. Savalaram (article on Savalaram).  talks about Lata Mangeshkar prominently singing his songs, among a list of 4 Marathi music composers.  (snippet available) as a notable music director and lists his films and partnership with P. Savalaram. "Vasant Prabhu was another music director of this period. His music in PATLACHA POR, TARAKA, VADAL, SHIKLELI BAYAKO, GRUHA- DEVATA, PUTRA WHAVA AISA proved very popular. Like the Mudgulkar-Phadke pair, Vasant Prabhu-P.Savlaram pair earned renown". The problem in finding references for this article via google is that in English, Visa CFO Vasant M. Prabhu and in Marathi, a news photographer called Vasant Prabhu is showing up (WP:RECENTISM). However, various music sites iTunes, Gaana.com have playlists of Vasant Prabhu.  Redtigerxyz  Talk 06:12, 8 April 2015 (UTC)
