Taking it to AfD per the suggestion of the declined speedy. It's very close to a copyvio, but that aside, the [http://news.google.com/archivesearch?ie=UTF-8&oe=utf-8&rls=org.mozilla:en-US:official&client=firefox-a&um=1&tab=wn&q=%22Ramesh+Maraj%22 rs coverage] is false positives and [http://www.google.com/search?ie=UTF-8&oe=utf-8&rls=org.mozilla:en-US:official&um=1&q=%22Ramesh+Maraj%22&sa=N&tab=nw ghits] don't provide any evidence that he passes WP:MUSIC.

Delete Article was nomed for Speedy as copy vio (but it wasn't) and as blatant advertising---which it isn't. Barely passes A7 as article claims "distinctive" sound. But I can't find anything about said musician.Balloonman (talk) 04:41, 10 March 2008 (UTC)

Keep, I will expand and turn it into a proper article, give me two days until this AFD is closed to prove that this can be a worthwhile article. ~ Dreamy ^§ 13:23, 10 March 2008 (UTC)
Comment, you'll need to find independent reliable sources to show he meets WP:MUSIC, his own site does not qualify. TRAVELLINGCARI^{My story}_{Tell me yours} 14:15, 10 March 2008 (UTC)
Delete Lacks Reliable sources and fails WP:Music Pharaoh of the Wizards (talk) 14:32, 10 March 2008 (UTC)

Delete Falls well short of WP:MUSIC even if non-independent sources were taken at face value. B.Wind (talk) 05:29, 22 March 2008 (UTC)
Delete cannot find anything else other than his site and copies on other sites, no real or reliable sites to use. ~ Cheers! Dreamy ^§ 13:47, 22 March 2008 (UTC)
