This is a borderline article to me. He's appeared in a couple of reality competition shows, finishing in second place in both. Doesn't really meet WP:NACTOR. He's got a couple of singles released, but nothing to show they've charted, so WP:NMUSICIAN isn't really met. The sources are meh at best. A couple of links to music videos (doesn't help for notability) and a spotify profile page. That leaves two sources that really are the basis for the article. The MensXP article [1] is borderline click-bait. It's mostly Instagram links with some pretty promotional blurbs between them and a few basic biographical details. Nothing in-depth. The other source, IndianExpress, [2] is pretty much the same - links to videos and instagram with a smattering of puffery and some basic details. Not really what I'd call in depth. The article was in draft space, but moved by another editor, so I don't want to go back to draft without a discussion. As it is, I think this is WP:TOOSOON and should be draft/user spaced, or just deleted. Ravensfire (talk) 18:00, 28 October 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Delete - Per WP:GNG, WP:BLP1E. Notable for being the husband of Neha Kakkar (recent) and possibly for the event of Sa Re Ga Ma Pa L'il Champs International. WP:TOOSOON applies as well. - Fylindfotberserk (talk) 18:13, 28 October 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Comment Undecided. The sources cited are WP:RS/WP:IS and a few provide WP:SIGCOV, so it seems WP:GNG is met, even though WP:NACTOR and WP:NMUSICIAN are not really. Also, I get that the subject is probably a minor figure; unfortunately, the country's media has pages to fill, and those pages seem to have pushed him over GNG. GNG trumps SNG. So, I'm split between keep and draftify. — Ad Meliora ^Talk∕_Contribs 20:04, 28 October 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Delete - I agree with the nominator on WP:TOOSOON. The subject has gotten some notice for bit parts here and there and for having a more notable wife, but most of the sources specifically about him are friendly PR puff pieces and standard industry listings.

Keep WP:GNG doesn't care whether the reasons for coverage are completely superficial. Friendly puff pieces in RS/IS are still coverage in RS/IS. WP:SIGCOV in WP:RS/[WP:IS]] means GNG met.— Ad Meliora ^Talk∕_Contribs 20:11, 29 October 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Ad Meliora, I'm curious, how does a handful of small sentences without significant details count as significant coverages, as SIGCOV looks for sources that cover the subject in detail. A series of Instagram posts with a sentence or two for each talking about trivial matters is hardly in detail. Puff pieces are by their nature NOT significant coverage. Ravensfire (talk) 21:24, 29 October 2020 (UTC)[reply]

He's mentioned by name in the headline of 1 (profile) 2 3 (and also 4 5 6 which are videos of his songs, but nevertheless, considered significant enough by RS/IS to post). That's WP:SIGCOV — Ad Meliora ^Talk∕_Contribs 21:32, 29 October 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Ad Meliora, being mentioned by name in a headline counts as significant coverage? Oh boy... Ravensfire (talk) 21:41, 29 October 2020 (UTC)[reply]

You enjoy being facetious, noted.— Ad Meliora ^Talk∕_Contribs 21:48, 29 October 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Keep - as the subject seems to be solely notable enough cuz he has been part of multiple Reality Television shows and also have sufficient coverages to meet the criteria of GNG Dtt1^Talk 05:51, 30 October 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Delete per WP:BLP1E. The creator seems to be WP:UPE and most refs are PR stuff/ for promotion only. 2409:4061:90:D357:C141:C5DC:E1C9:50AC (talk) 17:54, 31 October 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Delete/Redirect to Neha Kakkar I agree with the nominator's analysis. Meanwhile, can Redirect to Neha Kakkar be considered something better than nothing? ─ The Aafī (^talk) 19:23, 2 November 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Delete per WP:TOOSOON. Riddhidev BISWAS (talk) 08:42, 5 November 2020 (UTC)[reply]
