Singer who placed ninth in an Indian Idol competition, with no noteworthy coverage to speak of. coccyx bloccyx_(toccyx) 20:14, 12 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]

• Keep, meets WP:MUSIC. India doesn't exactly have radio charts, as such, but her song "Zara Zara Touch Me" was the fourth-most-played song in India over the first six months of last year.[1] The English-language sourcing available isn't great, but is probably enough to satisfy WP:V - adding to article now. -Hit bull, win steak^(Moo!) 21:04, 12 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]
  • You can use non-English sources as long as they are reliable. Juzhong (talk) 21:29, 12 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]
    • This is true, but I don't know any of the relevant languages, and I don't want to rely on a machine translation. If someone else wants to do it, that'd be awesome, though. -Hit bull, win steak^(Moo!) 21:43, 12 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]

• Keep I dont get how you can delete this. She is a popular playback singer, if not frontline like Shreya Ghoshal. Her songs in Race are chartbusters. Far far less(in terms of popularity and acheivement) singers have Wiki pages to them. Whoever thinks this should be deleted based on her Indian Idol performances doesnot know about her Bollywood filmography, i guess.Crackjack (talk) 06:16, 13 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]
• Keep - satisfies the usual inclusion criterion. I see no cause for special exception here. WilyD 13:51, 13 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]
• Keep - she has become a playback singer in Bollywood and has at least one hit song. Not exactly a nobody. --GDibyendu (talk) 08:47, 14 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]
