Does not currently meet the WP:GNG or WP:NMUSIC. The sources are largely routine announcements, event mentions, platform listings, or database profiles. LvivLark (talk) 20:10, 14 August 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Comment: Of the sources listed only this one from Ratopati (translated) provides significant coverage from an independent reliable source. Two others, https://risingnepaldaily.com/news/36788 and https://gorkhapatraonline.com/news/15694 are inaccessible, dead links. The rest are trivial mentions. Due to the coverage in that Ratopati source, there may be others, so there is a possibility that notability can be established, although the article in its current form doesn't.
Delete and let the review process started at Draft:Tanka Timalsina proceed. The draft and the main space article have similar content. The draft was created 3 days ago, the main space article was created today. I note that the similar content with slightly different spelling Draft:Tanka Timilsina was speedy-deleted twice in July for unambiguous promotion. Four different creators are involved, reported at Wikipedia:Sockpuppet investigations/Rupesh saud. ~Anachronist (talk) 00:38, 15 August 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Speedy Delete - editor has tries to mislead others by keeping attractive name of links so that someone who doesn’t understand Nepali will feel a good independent coverage. For eg in gorkhapatra online - just a press release about a song. But in title - it maintains musical achievements of tanka. This has been done while mannual entry of source intentionally. It’s not notable. Potential COI. Rahmatula786 (talk) 01:15, 15 August 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Delete – Fails WP:GNG and WP:NMG as coverage is largely routine, promotional, or in passing. Sources are mostly primary, music platforms, or local media pieces without in-depth independent analysis. Does not demonstrate lasting encyclopedic notability as a musician.Arman Shaquille Qio (talk) 14:06, 15 August 2025 (UTC)[reply]
