It is mentioned that Yesudas is Ashthana Gayakan of Kerala. This is not correct. A while ago the government decided to confer this title on him, but then a controversy ensued and Yesudas himself said he would not accept it. Period.
The state does not have an 'official singer', nor does the great man need any ornamental title.

Jesudas' name, birthplace, year of birth, and his career description are very easily and clearly found in the article. I think we do not need to repeat it in the infobox where his photo is found. Could you all take a look into this and possibly come to a consensus to remove it for the sake of conciseness? Thanks. Splashprince 05:54, 5 August 2006 (UTC)
I don't think so. Because deletion is very easy but creation is very difficult.Because It need lot of time and research. But we can modify. I am suggesting some artilces that are given below.Please find it and think how we can modify.
In info box of yesudas shows only very necessary things. Seperation like sub article and info box will help readers to undersatnd with in few time. if we use a big paragraph it will be borring to read. And noboby wont get the points.
Has Yesudas received honorary doctorates or has he earned one from research and completion of a PhD thesis? If its only the former, then the use of the 'Dr.' title alongside his name is inappropriate. Splashprince 11:15, 16 July 2006 (UTC)
It is an honorary doctorate , but that does not make it inappropriate.The reason for including "Dr" in this article is because that he is always referred to as Dr. K.J.Yesudas almost everywhere. Bharatveer 14:01, 16 July 2006 (UTC)
I think there no need of advanced training option. Chembai allready introduced in Scholorship. So there is need sub article like advaned classic training. It shows like praising Chembai.
This article can feature albums and concert details fully since it already contains a lot of information on them. I have updated it with information found in other articles. Even after updation, the article is below the 32Kb average limit suggested by Wikipedia.
The objective of this exercise is to maintain a comprehensive page on Yesudas without having bits and pieces of same information in several articles. I request users to not revert or remove data without proper reasons or discussion here. ॐ Kris ( ☎ talk | contribs) 12:05, 3 December 2006 (UTC)
To All Users,
The contents of above user put on the this article is copied from other article Concerts by Dr. K. J. Yesudas and Concerts by Dr. K. J. Yesudas . Yesudas's concerts and Albums are Uncountable. So that is why we using another article for Concert and Albums. Article for Yesudas is only for his details not for albums, and songs of eaach album, concert and about that concert etc. I feel somebody trying to damage this article.
Please keep the quality of this article.( most of people wont ) wont read a Big article and Nobody wont get the points from this article. I request don't dammage this article.

Its sure that if we put Yesudas's albums and concert details in this article , the article become a big and nobody will read this article. If Some body would like to put Album/ Concert details please put in the appropriate article.
Yesudas's album's are uncountable. His devotional album belonged to Lord Ayyappa produced from Tharngini is 27 Volume in 4-5 south indian language including Tamil, Telugu, Malayalam, Kannada and Tulu. Then think how many ?.
In malayalam 30 and more volume Festival song album produced by only Tharangini. And UnCountable devotional songs are produed by only tharangini in various languages. This is only by Tharangini muiscs. And other company's albums are uncountable.
In the case of Concert , is same as albums, UnCountable. There is nobody more than Yesudas who performed Concerts out side India
Hrisforu 05:03, 6 December 2006 (UTC)
So what? Are you going to put all the uncountable albums on wikipedia? Since it is not obviously possible, there is no harm in placing all relevant details in the same article. There is no good reason to have 3 articles since this article itself mainly consists of album information, and even after including the others, its size is below the average 32Kb.

I removed a large amount of unsourced and POV material and then thought better of it and reverted, since a look at the talk page showed me that this artist has many fans more interested in this page than I. But, please, folks, this page needs to be brought up to Wikipedia standards. It isn't very useful to have opinionated (POV) material, regardless of how great you think this artist is -- if he is really great, simply give the plain facts and they will speak for themselves, since he has an impressive number of awards, et cetera. Anything else runs the risk of looking like self-promotion. And I echo the above suggestion to look at the entry for Ilaiyaraaja, which has 69 properly-referenced citations and provides lots of interesting information without sounding like a fan magazine. It might be a lot of work, but it will be worth it in the long run so that people unfamiliar with this artist (like me) can find information they feel they can trust.

The Bangalore Development Authority allotted a plot for his music school in 2003 but there was no further development to the matter. In 2008 Yesudas came to Bangalore to meet the Chief Minister of Karnataka and raise the issue in person. A. Ravindra, former chief secretary of Karnataka, was present when Yesudas met Chief Minister B.S.Yediyurappa and urged him to take action regarding the land allotted to him. The Chief Minister, after reviewing the situation, signed the papers immediately and directed the Bangalore Development Authority to allot the site. Now that his long-cherished dream is going to come true, hope that the school will be the best learning place for all the talented music students in India [1].
The wordings above seem to be personal interpretations of the new item. The news item does not specify that papers were signed immediately by the Chief Minister. Also hope that the school will be best learning place - Crystal Ball gazing. This is not a blog where personal opinions are to be articulated. Also the fact for BDA alloting a plot in 2003 is not corroborated yet from any citation.
Overall, this small event need not appear in the article about Shri Yesudas, when there are lots of useful and encyclopaedic information that can be added. Seems like fan club material.

Recently, an edit war has been underway regarding how many songs Yesudas has recorded. The contested numbers are 50,000 and 80,000. Let's see what has been reported in reliable sources on the matter. Yesudas is known to have started his career at the age of 21 in 1961.
The big problem here is that the reported numbers jump around rather than build up gradually over time. The jumps make it difficult to believe the higher number. The huge jump to 60,000 in 2011, citing Yesudas' own website, is a colossal problem in credibility, demonstrated by the subsequent refusal by newspapers to print that number. Especially sobering is the 2017 number reported by The Week which racks the total back down to 30,000, ignoring much of the previous inflation.
If we take the 1987 number of 10,000 and divide it over 26 years of work, we see 385 songs per year, or slightly more than one per day. If we take the 40,000 figure from 2010 and divide it by 49 years of work, we get 816 songs per year, 2.2 songs per day. These recording rates make it ridiculous to credit Yesudas with 80,000 songs in 59 years of work, because that would mean his rate of recording was greatly increased starting in 2010 to double his output by 2020. A man in his 70s, no less.
All of this inflation makes me think that the actual songs are not being counted. Instead, numbers are being selected for their impact.
Even though the number of 50,000 is difficult to believe, it is easier than the silly claim of 80,000, and it was published a year ago by Times of India. I propose we hold the number to 50,000 and throw out any higher claims. Binksternet ( talk) 06:59, 6 January 2021 (UTC)
A bunch of IPs from the southern part of India have been edit-warring in 2023 to insert the number 80,000. As discussed above, 50,000 is a more reasonable number, given that gross inflations have been published by sources that are just parroting the public relations blather coming from the Yesudas camp. If Yesudas had recorded 50,000 songs from 1961 to 2011, a span of 50 years, then we might expect something less than 1,000 songs per year after 2011, acknowledging the advancing age of Yesudas. In that case, the number might be as high as 60,000 by now, but not 80,000, which is absurd. Regarding sources saying 80,000: WP:CONTEXTMATTERS. We should not be repeating unreliable numbers.

Recently, an edit war has been underway regarding how many songs Yesudas has recorded. The contested numbers are 50,000 and 80,000. Let's see what has been reported in reliable sources on the matter. Yesudas is known to have started his career at the age of 21 in 1961.
The big problem here is that the reported numbers jump around rather than build up gradually over time. The jumps make it difficult to believe the higher number. The huge jump to 60,000 in 2011, citing Yesudas' own website, is a colossal problem in credibility, demonstrated by the subsequent refusal by newspapers to print that number. Especially sobering is the 2017 number reported by The Week which racks the total back down to 30,000, ignoring much of the previous inflation.
If we take the 1987 number of 10,000 and divide it over 26 years of work, we see 385 songs per year, or slightly more than one per day. If we take the 40,000 figure from 2010 and divide it by 49 years of work, we get 816 songs per year, 2.2 songs per day. These recording rates make it ridiculous to credit Yesudas with 80,000 songs in 59 years of work, because that would mean his rate of recording was greatly increased starting in 2010 to double his output by 2020. A man in his 70s, no less.
All of this inflation makes me think that the actual songs are not being counted. Instead, numbers are being selected for their impact.
Even though the number of 50,000 is difficult to believe, it is easier than the silly claim of 80,000, and it was published a year ago by Times of India. I propose we hold the number to 50,000 and throw out any higher claims. Binksternet ( talk) 06:59, 6 January 2021 (UTC)
A bunch of IPs from the southern part of India have been edit-warring in 2023 to insert the number 80,000. As discussed above, 50,000 is a more reasonable number, given that gross inflations have been published by sources that are just parroting the public relations blather coming from the Yesudas camp. If Yesudas had recorded 50,000 songs from 1961 to 2011, a span of 50 years, then we might expect something less than 1,000 songs per year after 2011, acknowledging the advancing age of Yesudas. In that case, the number might be as high as 60,000 by now, but not 80,000, which is absurd. Regarding sources saying 80,000: WP:CONTEXTMATTERS. We should not be repeating unreliable numbers.
