Deletion of Miss Pooja (2nd nomination)

Comment: This is a hard-charging and uncompromising interpretation of the notability guideline: either fix this article's references, likely to be written in Punjabi language, within 7 days or it will be deleted and salted.  This is at odds with , AfD is , and, ironically the Notability guideline itself. "''For articles of unclear notability, deletion should be a last resort''". With half a milion Google hits for "Miss Pooja" it could reasonably be assumed that RS exist, in Punjabi language or otherwise, and the airing on BBC would also support this assumption.  It is certainly not a clearcut Miss Nobody, this is at the very least a case of "unclear notability".  The first AfD is also borderline, with low participation, muddled discussion, and reservations concerning possible  -- not the clear-cut community deletion consensus story that JBSupreme tries to sell as a veiled G4

Comment: Despite nearly !voting delete when I initially commented on this discussion, with the information that has come to light in the last few days I now am of the opinion that Miss Pooja passes at least one, and possibly two of the criteria at . Winning the UK Asian Music Award ticks the box for criterion 8, and the extensive airplay on the National UK radio station - BBC Asian Network - for me satisfies criterion 11. As I mentioned above, and as alluded to by Annette46, I do think this article a likely victim of the circumstances that cause Wikipedia's |cultural bias however I think that the sources that ''have'' been found are just enough and that a delete !vote would make me part of the problem

Comment: The "best selling/most popular Indian" part isn't even sourced in the provided reference so it's probably a red herring here and should be removed. The sources seem to revolve around her popularity in the UK scene, and show she meets . The http://www.bbc.co.uk/music/reviews/5chf review of her album at the BBC describes her as "the poster girl of Punjabi music" and the "current Queen of Bhangra", which is evidence of point 7 ("most prominent of a notable style or of the local scene of a city"). The article points to a http://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/b00d58c2 live session she performed for BBC Asian Network, a national radio station, and here's http://www.bbc.co.uk/asiannetwork/weekend_punjabi/tracklisting_archive_20080824.shtml the tracklisting for that show, where she gave an interview and 7 of her tracks were played/performed live. It takes up roughly half of a two-hour show, meeting point 12 ("has been the subject of a half hour or longer broadcast across a national radio or TV network"). Another BBC page http://www.bbc.co.uk/music/artists/e513b3f9-87a0-4b7a-9321-8d7fbc81e187 has a "played by" section listing some of the shows that have played her music, along with the http://search.bbc.co.uk/search?site=Asian+Network&q=%22miss%20pooja%22&tab=all&scope=all&start=1 search results linked earlier, which are nearly all from archived tracklistings (11: "has been placed in rotation nationally by any major radio network"). Finally, there's her "Best International Act" award at the UK Asian Music Awards, which was broadcast worldwide on the B4U Music satellite network http://www.prlog.org/10183277-b4u-music-presents-the-uk-asian-music-awards-2009.html. It passes the duck test for me, these aren't signs of a non-notable musician

Comment: Searching for mentions of "Miss Pooja" on the BBC website gives http://search.bbc.co.uk/search?site=Asian+Network&q=%22miss%20pooja%22&tab=all&scope=all&start=46 '''46 pages''' of results. Most of these are archived playlists rather than prose pieces but they do show that she gets masses of airplay on a BBC Asian Network|UK national radio station -  I don't know if that counts as "Spin (radio)|rotation" enough to meet criterion 11 of

Comment: I have had this page watchlisted since I declined a G4 speedy on it in Jan 2009 and cleaned it up. I think that the problem we have here is that Miss Pooja/Gurinder Kainth/Gurinder Kaur (if you are googling then you should google all three)  is a "household name"http://www.wolvescivic.co.uk/index.asp?loc=whatsonshow&woid=14053 but not necessarily in English speaking parts of the world, hence admitted dirth of reliable sources in English.  I think this is a classic case of the effects of |cultural bias and on that basis I can't !vote Delete at the moment

Comment: That is not even remotely true.  If this were a clearcut "Miss Nobody" then the article would be speedy deleted under CSD A7 criteria.  We have strict policies, such as  which prevent the ongoing publication of material which is not reliably sourced.  There was a discussion 2 years ago where no sources were found.  ''No sources have been found since then, either.'' I find that telling.  So rather than put words in my mouth, why don't you put quality sources in the article?  If the article gets deleted and sources are found at a later date, we can re-create the article at that time

Comment: I remember working on this article when reports regarding her death was in full flourish. Later those reports turned out to be wide spread rumor. But I realized then that she is notable in northern part of India, specially Punjabi speaking region. Her album has a review at http://www.bbc.co.uk/music/reviews/5chf BBC Review, there may be more reviews. http://www.bbc.co.uk/blogs/friction/2009/07/the_big_bhangra_debate.html This BBC article suggests that her hit album proves that bhangra (an Indian genre of music) is definitely not dead. This may satisfy Point number 7 of
