Delete no references have been found for this one-liner about a musician, fails WP:BAND, WP:BIO. Carlossuarez46 (talk) 21:56, 3 April 2008 (UTC)

• Delete Article fails to establish notability. archanamiya · talk 23:12, 3 April 2008 (UTC)
• weak keep - the article on Patiala gharana indicates he is a leading figure, and a google scholar search seems to indicate the person exists and might hold some importance. -- Whpq (talk) 11:46, 4 April 2008 (UTC)

Upgrading to keep. With Phil's additions, I expect that more sources could be found to expand the article. -- Whpq (talk) 17:18, 4 April 2008 (UTC)

• Keep. There are loads of sources available at Google Books and Google News. I've put some in the article. Phil Bridger (talk) 17:06, 4 April 2008 (UTC)
• Delete. Sources there may be, but no real explanation how he meets WP:BIO. Stifle (talk) 18:05, 4 April 2008 (UTC)

  Comment - according to one of the sources provided by Phil, he is a founder of Patiala gharana. Essentially, he is the seminal artist of a notable musical form / lineage. -- Whpq (talk) 18:28, 4 April 2008 (UTC)

  Comment. The sources are the explanation of how he meets WP:BIO#Basic criteria, which is all about sources. Phil Bridger (talk) 21:40, 4 April 2008 (UTC)

• This discussion was closed early as keep by User:SynergeticMaggot, a non-administrator. Per WP:DPR#NAC I am reopening this. An administrator should close it tomorrow after the five-day period has expired. Stifle (talk) 09:17, 9 April 2008 (UTC)
  • I can't count days. Stifle (talk) 09:21, 9 April 2008 (UTC)
• Strong Keep - Notability is established, he was one of the founders of a notable school, Patiala gharana, and the teacher of three notable musicians. The article is horribly written due to a need for massive expansion, but I would say he is notable enough to be included in the encyclopedia without a question. KV(Talk) 15:00, 9 April 2008 (UTC)
