Continuing from previous AfD, the closing admin in their no-consensus-note stated that "The fundamental debate here is about the quality of the sources, and neither side has made a convincing enough argument to negate the other side." I am hence providing a reference analysis here. Following reference analysis is based on references used in this revision (19:05, 28 September 2015) of the article. The song still fails WP:NSONG which states "Songs and singles are probably notable if they have been the subject of multiple, non-trivial published works whose sources are independent of the artist and label." (emphasis added). The following source analysis is provided in order to establish how the emphasized clauses of the notability guideline are not met.

Sr. No. Reference Source Source quality It says about the song Other notes
1 Asrar's career takes a Bollywood twist with Katrina's 'Afghan Jalebi' DAWN WP:RS "While the song doesn't show Asrar at his vocal best and Amitabh Bhattacharya's lyrics are a far throw from Asrar's witticism, it is yet another example of Bollywood's appreciation for Pakistani talent." Source talks about Asrar's other career.
2 Phantom: New song 'Afghan Jalebi' featuring Katrina Kaif is catchy as anything IBNLive WP:RS "The catchy beats instantly want to make you listen to the again and again." Source talk about the actress Kaif, credits people involved and the film in general.

Template:Deletion essay says "Essays are not Wikipedia policies or guidelines. Some essays represent widespread norms; others only represent minority viewpoints." I had asked the closing admin to reopen the first AfD in order to post this. But he didn't reply my post. Hence the new AfD. §§Dharmadhyaksha§§ {Talk / Edits} 10:54, 6 October 2015 (UTC)[reply]
Best way was to go for Wikipedia:Deletion review. Renominating article for deletion within 1 month is really not worth, its more like wasting time of the community and involved editors. Anyway, I have given my opinion regarding validity of this AfD, closing admin will decide rest of the things, I'm done with this AfD. Best Luck. --Human3015TALK  11:12, 6 October 2015 (UTC)[reply]
DRV is also dealt by community and "wasting time" would happen there too. And DRVs are meant to reconsider the "decision" and not when newer arguments are made. §§Dharmadhyaksha§§ {Talk / Edits} 11:34, 6 October 2015 (UTC)[reply]
Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.

  • Delete I have no idea why it was not deleted before, there seems to be almost no detailed mention of this in any RS. FreeatlastChitchat (talk) 06:33, 13 October 2015 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete Fails WP:NSONGS per the reference analyses table. Faizan (talk) 07:19, 13 October 2015 (UTC)[reply]
  • Comment I think some people will not die with peace unless this article will get deleted. I propose to delete this article because I don't want that above hounder's soul to hound me sometime in future if this article remains on Wikipedia. Hounding on Wikipedia is acceptable but I can't afford soul of these people in future, so it will be better to delete this article so that these people can die in peace in future and their soul will not hound me. Hope so. I request to closing admin to delete this article and liberate some souls. Actually I don't want this headache anymore, if this AfD closed as "no consensus" or "keep" then above hounders will again nominate it for deletion after 2-3 months so it will be better to delete it now and liberate these innocent narrow minded people. I think liberation of souls is more important than this useless song article. --Human3015TALK  13:22, 13 October 2015 (UTC)[reply]
