[edit] Koushik

This was marked for speedy, but it definitely doesn't apply, since the article cites an album release, a clear assertion of notability. The article is defintely written like vanity, but if true, may qualify under WP:MUSIC. I'll leave it up to the community, no vote. --Dmcdevit·t 05:52, July 27, 2005 (UTC)

• 2 google hits... and nothing relavent in those 2 hits. Delete due to unverifability. Sasquatch′↔T↔C 05:57, July 27, 2005 (UTC)
• Weak Keep If you check the history I even put a vfd but then removed it after some research. A search of Koushik "Be With" returns enough results and reviews in notable media like Pitchfork Media. The reason the full name doesn't get a lot of results is because that isn't his recording name. But the article is written like vanity and he's not that notable so it's pretty borderline. --TheMidnighters 06:19, 27 July 2005 (UTC)

And he does have an Allmusic page, under Koushik. --TheMidnighters 06:21, 27 July 2005 (UTC)

I've rewritten the article sans vanity. And I think he satisfies WP:MUSIC on the grounds of a)two albums released on a notable indie label, b)has a national tour coming up (opening for somebody else, not sure if it counts but not too bad), and c)has been featured in prominent media. --TheMidnighters 06:35, 27 July 2005 (UTC)

So what needs to be done is to copy the content to Koushik, and redirect this page to that one. --TheMidnighters 06:44, 27 July 2005 (UTC)

To tell the truth, I had moved it there since that's what the original article said his name was. I've moved it back just now because I don't think it is controversial. Amending this VfD's heading too... --Dmcdevit·t 06:50, July 27, 2005 (UTC)

• Delete borderline notable at best. JamesBurns 10:34, 27 July 2005 (UTC)
• Keep recorded two albums and soon to undertake first US tour. I think he's done enough to meet WP:MUSIC. Capitalistroadster 11:31, 27 July 2005 (UTC)'
