Delete, sources provided d not show that subject meets the guidelines for inclusion. Was thinking about deleting as blp prod but the two sources provided shows he exists buyt not much else. Hell in a Bucket (talk) 10:53, 21 October 2014 (UTC)[reply]

I think the people who have been given authorization to keep/delete the article should be more serious in their works. It seems that some administrator belives that everything other user post should be a spam. Or perhaps they should take a holiday to freshen their mind. nirmal (talk) 04:19, 22 October 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Comment - I {{prod}}-ed this one earlier -(diff.), at that time, it was an unsourced blp article. However, two sources has been added to the article since then, no one appears to be a reliable one though. Looking at the article and reading its contents the subject appears to be notable, -but in present shape given the lack of multiple secondary, independent and reliable sources, -it doesn't meet the standard for inclusion for sure. I guess, there must be some sources in the Nepali media that Google doesn't index properly. Creator is requested to find and update the article with reliable sources having significant coverage of the subject, to save the article from deletion. If he really belonged to popular music band Crossroads in 90s and produced many popular songs, -he is supposed to have been written about -in contemporary newspapers or magazines. Subject is also said to have affiliation with a notable political party (Rastriya Prajatantra Party) and contesting the assembly election, -it gives me another clue that he was published in multiple reliable sources. One just needs to find them and update the article. Creator as a native(?) of the country of the subject may be able to perform to do this job. If none could be found around this time, the article unfortunately has to go. One may re-create it on availability of the the same. Anupmehra -Let's talk! 20:56, 21 October 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for the suggestion. I found links in itunes. But the website of Rastriya Prajatantra Party has not kept the list as candidate.nirmal (talk) 04:19, 22 October 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Delete Running for office doesn't grant automatic notability nor does being part of a band. There's a lack of significant independent coverage. 131.118.229.17 (talk) 21:14, 21 October 2014 (UTC)[reply]

True. But problem is to find the reference from the past articles espcially from country like Nepal.nirmal (talk) 04:19, 22 October 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Weak keep -- It seems his music was of some significance. According to this scholarly music journal Echo published by UCLA, Greene, Paul D. (Fall 2005). "Echoes in the Valleys:A Social History of Nepali Pop in Nepali's Urban Youth Culture, 1985-2000". Echo. 7 (2). University of California at Los Angeles. ISSN 1535-1807. {{cite journal}}: Unknown parameter |coauthors= ignored (|author= suggested) (help), Shrestha was noted for fusing western and Nepali music. Although the paragraph about him is only 9 sentences, it suggests there is probably more substantial coverage in Nepali sources. — CactusWriter ^(talk) 18:02, 22 October 2014 (UTC)[reply]
