He has sung for a few film, one film of which has won a significant award for the Best Female Playback Singer. I'm not sure it's enough to meet
WP:SINGER . The sources are not really complete
WP:GNG and some autobiographical editing has been done on the article

- Weak keep per WP:BASIC. I found this, from a DNA article about another award winner: "The only other singer from Pune to have won the award in this category is Anjali Marathe-Kulkarni, who won it in 1995 at the age of 15 while competing with Lata Mangeshkar and Asha Bhosale." The award is described as "India’s most respected award in films". The apparent disconnect with her winning in 1996 at age 16 seems to be that she won in 1996 at age 16 for her work in 1995 at age 15, based on this abstract of a 1996 article from The Hindu "India: Kathapurushan adjudged best feature film" (via Proquest), which states, "S. P. Balasubramaniam has been declared the best male playback singer of 1995 for his soulful rendering of the classical song "Umenda Ghumanda Garaje Badara" in the Kannada film "Sangeetha Saagara Gaanayogi Panchakshara Gavai." Anjali Marathe has been declared the best female playback singer." There is also this 2014 Mid-day article linked at the end of the article, with some limited biographical and career information. On the WP Library, via Gale, I found a brief mention in a 2013 Indian Express article without a byline that reads like a summary of press releases, stating she is a singer on 2 CDs released by Atul Date. The one cited source in the article ( 2005 Indian Express) provides some biographical information. Via ProQuest, there is also "Hindu Mahila Sabha held musical concert in the city [Pune]" (TOI, 08 Mar 2020), "[...] the organisation invited three pairs of mother-daughter artistes who together have achieved feat in their respective professions for a discussion and to share their experiences. The veteran artistes included renowned vocalist, Anuradha Marathe and her daughter Anjali Marathe"; "Majumdar strikes a silver chord with 25 years in music industry [Nagpur]" (TOI, 17 Sep 2019) "Singers such as Anjali Marathe, Niranjan Bobde and Datta Prasad Ranade performed on his songs." Based on my online searches and review of sources on the databases I have access to in the WP Library, there does not appear to be much independent coverage available. However, due to the reported significance of the award, the availability of some biographical information that could help develop the article, and sources that can verify her career, WP:BASIC notability seems supported by a combination of sources.

Hello Beccaynr sir , The source of the DNA you are telling me is the news of a woman named Arati Ankalikar-Tikekar. Second news Indian Express article talk about next generation. Cinzia007 ( talk) 05:40, 16 March 2022 (UTC)
- My !vote is weak because of the need to combine the limited number of sources per
WP:BASIC, e.g.
If the depth of coverage in any given source is not substantial, then multiple independent sources may be combined to demonstrate notability
. I would prefer to have more sources, but with the significant award win covered by multiple sources, as well as biographical and career information with some commentary available from sources, I think the article could be rewritten to address concerns about autobiographical editing while also still having enough support for a standalone article.
