This is a procedural nomination. The article was created and worked on by sock puppets but is ineligible for WP:CSD#G5. The article is obviously poorly written, but my sense is that Mir does not meet notability guidelines. Any notability appears to be local. However, my ability to assess notability for Indian artists is not very good, so I'll let the community decide. Bbb23 ( talk) 17:09, 3 August 2016 (UTC) reply

Weak delete The article is very poorly cited, but that alone is not a sufficient ground for deletion IMO. If the information that his music was featured in the films and has received awards as mentioned and if they can be verified by sources, then maybe there is a chance for this article.

• Delete: An article originally by a blocked sockpuppet following repeated previous placements (and still technically under protection: [1]). For all the placement effort, it remains scantily sourced: an Amazon shopping link, a link to a ticketing site for a cancelled concert, a name-check in a DNA India article and, most substantially, a 6 sentence review of a college concert. The Indian newspaper tailored search located one other brief review from Udaiput Times, which I have added as a reference, but otherwise just the occasional film name-check. There are claims of awards: I have added a (rather insubstantial) source for one, but it is unclear whether this is a notable award: it has no article here, and is mentioned in only one other article. All in all, there is enough to confirm the subject is following his trade, but it is not inherently notable and I don't think there is sufficient evidence of encyclopaedic biographical notability at this time.
