replies: text:  It's a known fact that SPB is the one who has sung the most no. songs in India. 40,000 songs sung by Yesudas isn't true. Ofcourse, Yesudas has recorded 30,000 plus songs (both film and non-film) and is one of the top singers, no doubt, but when it comes to figures, SPB ranks first. --Thalapathi (Ping Back) 16:19, 6 May 2011 (UTC)

message: Dear Editors! There has been a discussion on India Portal related to mentioning of caste of subjects. The point is that mentioning caste of people, who have nothing to do with their caste, is found to be unnecessary by few editors. Hence the caste of the subject person needs to be deleted from the biography. I am not deleting the caste as of now but am only posting this here so that the regular editors of this article are well aware of it beforehand and no edit-wars take place. For details of discussion held on the portal please refer Wikipedia_talk:Noticeboard_for_India-related_topics#Mentioning_caste_of_Individuals. Your views if any are welcome there or even here.  And.... as the reasons of exclusion of caste pointed out were "irrelavant to notability of subject person", "privacy of the subject person", "inclusion of caste is like branding individuals", etc. other information included in the article which also fall under these cases will also be removed after discussions. Examples of it included religion, non-notable spouse's and children's and parents' information, previous occupation, lived in places, non-notability related educational qualification, etc.  Your views on this are also welcome here or at the India portal. -Animeshkulkarni (talk) 10:09, 2 January 2012 (UTC)
replies: text: Not here, please. There is a community discussion taking place at WT:INB and I would advise people to read the entire discussion before forming an opinion because the above summary is incorrect. Nothing more need be said here. - Sitush (talk) 01:54, 4 January 2012 (UTC)

message: number of songs sung by him, seems not realist. because, article says he started singing 1966, 
total year 46 
days 16376
if he sing 3 songs per day with out break, then only it reaches 50000 count. Dear
writer please correct me if I am wrong  — Preceding unsigned comment added by Dijuponnarambil (talk • contribs) 07:10, 1 June 2012 (UTC)
replies: text: Heh. I changed it to 40,000 (don't know where 50,000 comes from, but the sources both say 40,000). I'm not going to worry about the math. I think the whole thing is silly, but whatever.--Bbb23 (talk) 23:44, 1 June 2012 (UTC)

message: Stop editing the page to say that SPB worked predominantly in Tamil movies. Also why shoehorn Vikatan awards ahead of state awards? Seems like some corporate interest is at play. Kindly don't create unnecessary friction between SPB fans.— Preceding unsigned comment added by Precisepie (talk • contribs)

message: The page claims Balasubrahmanyam holds the Guinness World Record for the "highest number of songs by a singer with over 40,000 songs." There are a few articles which mention this (and it's even mentioned in a description from a BBC Radio broadcast in which Balasubrahmanyam is interviewed), but I can't find any other evidence. I went to guinnessworldrecords.com and there are no results when you search for his name and the category doesn't even seem to exist. An article from 2016 quotes Balasubrahmanyam as saying: "Even I do not exactly know. It cannot be over 40,000. It should be between 35,000 and 40,000." It's hard to believe they would recognize a record they can't verify, especially when the supposed record-holder says it's incorrect. Johndavies837 (talk) 08:10, 25 September 2020 (UTC)
