Delete - Note that "Singer" is not her surname, so the article is titled incorrectly. Anyway, she has some documented movie appearances but not enough significant and reliable coverage to qualify for a WP article. ---DOOMSDAYER520 (TALK|CONTRIBS) 13:54, 2 May 2021 (UTC)[reply]

See comments below. It turns out that I voted to delete the previous article for this singer, and (unsurprisingly) this version suffers from the exact same problems. Recreating such an article with a different title is a common tactic for someone who is unaware of a previous deletion or refuses to accept it. ---DOOMSDAYER520 (TALK|CONTRIBS) 12:51, 4 May 2021 (UTC)[reply]

weak keep - "weak" because I'm not totally clear how the notability criteria work for singers who have primarily worked in movies - she clearly has been responsible for the soundtracks of multiple notable films. Her song Alaare Neeyenile has been covered in The Hindu [1], Times of India [2] and [3] . Long interview with her, dubbing her "the voice of Malayalam" here. The Malayalam version of her name is നിത്യ മേനോൻ , but a google search for that name mostly gives coverage of Nithya Menen the film actress. Furius (talk) 13:31, 3 May 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Delete and SALT. This article has been deleted multiple times before, and the only reason 'singer' was added to the article title is to get around that. --Kbabej (talk) 17:51, 7 May 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Speedy delete as recreation of deleted article. jp×g 07:29, 10 May 2021 (UTC)[reply]

That earlier deletion discussion doesn't seem to have involved any detailed discussion at all and it has been six months since it happened (also I don't think people who are "unaware of previous deletions" have tactics). User:Furius 08:42, 10 May 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Weak Keep per WP:BASIC - I am not aware of what the previous article(s) looked like, but I revised this one, and added sources, and there appears to be some significant coverage of her, as well as reviews of some of her work, and news about additional work since the previous deletion. Did the previous article include her actual place of birth and career as an architect? My work on this article has been slow because I am reliant on Google Translate, but it appears that non-English coverage also exists. Beccaynr (talk) 15:44, 10 May 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Delete and salt a non-notable musician who failed to satisfy WP:MUSICBIO. GSS ^💬 02:43, 11 May 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Delete, since they meet neither WP:GNG or WP:MUSICBIO. And due to its history, salt. Onel5969 ^{TT me} 03:39, 11 May 2021 (UTC)[reply]

@Onel5969 and GSS: Doesn't she meet condition 10 of WP:MUSICBIO - "Has performed music for a work of media that is notable, e.g., a theme for a network television show, performance in a television show or notable film"? (I see that there is a proviso that just one example would "probably" lead to a redirect, but she's done multiple films) Furius (talk) 20:59, 12 May 2021 (UTC)[reply]
