How did this article pass AfC @Pichemist:? Fails Wikipedia:Notability (music)#Others. All songs are unknown songs and the sources themselves are original sources. Except a brief mention on The Times of India can't find anything. Don't want to point fingers but this articles smells of COI. A Google search in English or Tamil yields nothing useful [1]. Behindwoods is listed as unreliable at Wikipedia:WikiProject Film/Indian cinema task force#Generally used sources. DareshMohan (talk) 22:45, 20 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Delete: Per nom. as mostly references are like spotify, wynk or youtube with only a brief mention in TOI article. Fails WP:NMUSIC TheSlumPanda (talk) 15:54, 21 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Delete– It's surprising that despite working with notable artists, performing in multiple live shows with A.R. Rahman and competing in a reality show, this artist barely got any media coverage. The only reliable Times of India source doesn't count as significant coverage. EmilyR34 (talk) 04:37, 22 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]
