Article fails WP:NALBUMS in that it hasn't charted, won any major awards, received significant airplay or being part of a notable media performance. All the Sri Lankan newspaper articles on Karuna Nadee seem to be based on press releases and/or interviews with its composer and only prove that the album existed not its significance. It should be noted that on the article's talk page the claim that the album was "the first Buddhist oratorio" has been conclusively disproven. Dan arndt ( talk) 05:51, 4 March 2015 (UTC) reply

  • Karuna Nadee deletion is an unfair Decision. Last month Dan arndt deleted Rawan Nada Article of mine ,he mentioned that it has no recognition and importance,then i gave many web links about it,and he mentioned it all about Dinesh Subasinghe and his album Karuna Nadee, now i will present this link about its record,its was the most sold instrumental album in sri lanka,sri lanka is a country with a small population 20 million,so it wont be like a hollywood production,i try my best to bring out the data of local artists to the world,valuable things are happening here,so why cant wikipedia support us to bring our data to the world,we have a historical heritage for 2500 years and still some important art work are happening,event after 30- years war

  • Redirect to Dinesh Subasinghe. I agree with the nominator that it doesn't pass the criteria at WP:NALBUMS (at least on the available evidence, all press-release/interview based or passing mentions). It's theoretically possible to have an article on it as a composition per se, but there does not appear to be any evidence of this work having been extensively performed or even premiered in a notable venue. The composer, Dinesh Subasinghe, is reasonably notable in Sri Lanka, however, not so notable than any composition by him would be worthy of a stand-alone article. All the relevant material on this composition/recording is already in Dinesh Subasinghe#Buddha oratorio: Karuna Nadee. The article should be redirected to that section, as the title might be a search term for WP readers in Sri Lanka. If the work eventually achieves independent notability, the redirect can always be turned into an article again with the history intact. But not now.

  • Redirect to Dinesh Subasinghe or to a discography subpage. I concur with the other editors that I'm not seeing a significant justification per the Album notability for a page to exist on the English Wikipedia. Perhaps there's a good case for a page in some other language wikipedia, but not here. Furthermore Musiclanka appears to be canvassing for editors to support their viewpoint. Endorse a reminder to them about their actions with respect to consensus. Hasteur ( talk) 20:11, 9 March 2015 (UTC) reply
