Delete - Nothing to suggest fully satisfying the applicable notability guidelines. SwisterTwister talk 22:32, 5 January 2016 (UTC)

Obvious Keep – Does anyone actually search for sources anymore prior to nominating/!voting for deletion, as per WP:BEFORE section D? Also see WP:NEXIST, where it's clearly stated that topic notability is not based upon the state of sourcing in articles. There's plenty to suggest fully satisfying the applicable notability guidelines. The subject passes WP:BASIC comfortably. Almost all of the following sources were very easily found by simply selecting the Google News and Highbeam links atop this discussion and then actually viewing articles about the subject. Here are some sources; several more are available: {{cite web|url=http://www.thehindu.com/features/metroplus/table-for-two-column-interview-with-vidya-shah/article6590173.ece|title=In harmony with verve|author=|work=The Hindu}}, {{cite web|url=https://www.highbeam.com/doc/1P3-3224225701.html|title=It Is V for Vidya|publisher=Daily News and Analysis |no-tracking=yes }} {{paywall}}, {{cite web|url=http://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/entertainment/hindi/music/news/Sufi-music-is-beautiful-Vidya-Shah/articleshow/10007724.cms|title=Sufi music is beautiful: Vidya Shah|work=The Times of India}}, {{cite web|url=http://www.thehindu.com/features/november-fest/the-hindu-friday-review-music-fest-vidya-shah-and-the-manganiyars-will-perform-a-sufi-and-rajasthani-folk/article6611290.ece|title=A musician activist|author=|work=The Hindu}}, {{cite web|url=http://indianexpress.com/article/entertainment/music/in-tune-with-gandhi/|title=In tune with Gandhi|date=2 October 2015|work=The Indian Express}}, {{cite web|url=http://www.thehindu.com/books/vidya-shah/article5417768.ece|title=Vidya Shah|work=The Hindu}}, {{cite web|url=https://www.highbeam.com/doc/1P3-3041053151.html|title=Vidya Shah,'On Record'|publisher=Daily News and Analysis}} {{paywall}}, {{cite web|url=https://www.highbeam.com/doc/1P3-3022601721.html|title=When the Terrier Listened to Their Golden Voices|publisher=Daily News and Analysis}} {{paywall}}, {{cite web | title=Show cause, will travel | website=The Hindu | url=http://www.thehindu.com/todays-paper/tp-features/tp-metroplus/show-cause-will-travel/article2108006.ece}}, {{cite web|url=http://economictimes.indiatimes.com/magazines/panache/edelweiss-ceo-rashesh-shahs-bharatnatyam-connect/articleshow/48184179.cms|title=Edelweiss CEO Rashesh Shah's Bharatnatyam connect|work=The Economic Times}}, {{cite web|url=http://www.thehindu.com/features/november-fest/november-fest-2014-nirgun-naad-vidya-shah-the-manganiyars/article6522837.ece|title=Nirgun Naad: Vidya Shah & The Manganiyars|work=The Hindu}} (short article).
