Non-notable actor, source bot confirms most of the sources are iffy with one being red, so non-notable. I can't find mention of this individual in RS either. Oaktree b (talk) 02:18, 16 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]

• Delete - all the sources are movie-related news and interviews. According to WP:ICTFSOURCES, the Times of India is not a reliable source. 𝙳𝚛𝚎𝚊𝚖𝚁𝚒𝚖𝚖𝚎𝚛 ^{𝚍𝚒𝚜𝚌𝚞𝚜𝚜} 09:23, 19 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]

• Keep. While the sources in this article are weak, subject meets WP:NACTOR with significant roles in multiple notable films, with articles in English Wikipedia, including Gultoo and Hondisi Bareyiri. —siroχo 06:17, 23 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]
• Keep since passes WP:NACTOR. Protagonist in first three films and antagonist in fourth film. DareshMohan (talk) 13:43, 29 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]

• Delete - Fails WP:ENT. Neutral - Only six films listed, two of which have not been released. The article only has four sentences (one of which is unsourced) describing his career. Noting indicates notability by Wikipedia standards.— Maile (talk) 13:51, 30 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Added note: This article is not ready for main space. The first paragraph under Career is not written in complete sentences. — Maile (talk) 17:14, 6 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]

I've changed to "Neutral", simply because this is an Indian actor in Indian films, and I don't know what qualifies as "significant roles in multiple notable films" for this particular actor's career. — Maile (talk) 18:58, 8 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.
Relisting comment: More discussion of whether the subject meets NACTOR seems appropriate given the swing between the past two relists

• Keep as played in lead role in 4+ movies. Even if this page get's deleted, very sooner the page will be eligible for inclusion. No point to delete in hurry. Twinkle1990 (talk) 07:48, 8 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]
• Comment (!vote farther up). WP:NACTOR says This guideline applies to actors ... Such a person may be considered notable if: 1. The person has had significant roles in multiple notable films. Significant roles in 4 notable films (top billed in 3 of them). I will need some clarification of the guideline if it does not apply to this subject. —siroχo 08:15, 8 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]
• Keep. Clearly had significant roles in multiple notable films, so it's a WP:NACTOR pass.—Alalch E. 21:23, 15 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]
