Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Sardar Malik
I've expanded the article a bit and added sources. May just be enough to establish notability per /. If the Dadasaheb Phalke Award, which is mentioned by the newswire obituary published unchanged by many newspapers (https://www.hindustantimes.com/india/veteran-composer-sardar-malik-dead/story-ucAK4RIqgnP6BLpoJJ798J.html eg), could be verified, notability would be unarguable. But the award https://web.archive.org/web/20171231054145/http://dff.nic.in:80/dadasahebphalke.asp cannot be verified and I'm dubious that he received it given his muted fame. Note that the https://www.thehindu.com/todays-paper/tp-national/music-composer-sardar-malik-dead/article18396213.ece Hindu obit does not mention the award; neither does https://www.thehindu.com/thehindu/mp/2003/03/25/stories/2003032500240400.htm Anu Malik in an interview in which he portray Sardar Malik as a struggling artist
