• Keep Does seem to have enough coverage to pass WP:GNG in independant sources. -Kj cheetham (talk) 20:41, 24 May 2022 (UTC)
• Keep can see sufficient coverage around. --Angelo (talk) 22:48, 24 May 2022 (UTC)
• Delete KhelNow is a a media engagement platform which allows fans/users to contribute different kinds of content, including reviews, photos, videos, events, comments, and more. Mykhel is a subsidiary of Oneindia, a content farm. Darjeeling Chronicle is a sort of citizen newspaper and the article is written in an avuncular or enthusiast tone, not in any journalistic manner. Cannot find other sources from a quick inspection of search results. Hemantha (talk) 03:04, 25 May 2022 (UTC)

I agree that KhelNow is suspect. The MyKhel article is written by a professional journalist so I think is okay for establishing the bare minimum for GNG. There's a reasonably sized article about her on MSN although it's mostly just repeating quotes from her. There is also The Bridge, which appears to be RS and Ommcom News. I'd be interested to see if anything better exists in Sikkimese or any other of the hundreds of languages of India. Spiderone^{(Talk to Spider)} 19:35, 25 May 2022 (UTC)

MyKhel profile links would definitely claim that their authors are professional but I don't think they (or Oneindia) have themselves ever described their work as journalism. There is some discussion in WP:RSN about Oneindia and I'd like to specifically point you to this which has comments illustrating their quality.

I had seen the article from The Bridge and discounted it as it appeared to be essentially an interview. IANS (which is the source for Ommcom) is a private wire service and unreliable. Hemantha (talk) 13:59, 26 May 2022 (UTC)
