 * Delete fails WP:NACTOR because acted in a single TV series, although the subject has coverage in national newspaper Times of India -- D ℬig  Xray   09:45, 12 June 2012 (UTC)

 * Redirect to Na Bole Tum Na Maine Kuch Kaha, I don't see evidence of notability under WP:GNG or WP:ENT but the specific soap opera is verifiable. --j⚛e deckertalk 19:39, 19 June 2012 (UTC)
 * But then why redirect? Does this mean we should have redirects of all actors? §§AnimeshKulkarni (talk) 12:04, 22 June 2012 (UTC)
 * Redirects are cheap, and might stop non-notable actors/actresses from being good-faith but needlessly bluelinked otherwise. - The Bushranger One ping only 21:33, 22 June 2012 (UTC)
 * Yep, I'd agree with The Bushranger here. To answer Animeshkulkarn, I'm not sure I'd go so far as to say all actors, but even a couple passing mentions in something like the Times of India increases the probability significantly that some of our readers will use the name as a search term, and above a certain point, those redirects provide some value. Of course, there are several reasons why such a redirect could be a bad idea (WP:R lists many of them), but I don't see those in play here.--j⚛e deckertalk 23:21, 22 June 2012 (UTC)


 * Redirect in this instance to Na Bole Tum Na Maine Kuch Kaha, that one work for which she has sourcability. This is a premature BLP article but still a reasonable search term. Okay with WP:USERFYing a copy of the article back to author User:Sahana sneha for continued work should he ask. I will note here that the article on Na Bole Tum Na Maine Kuch Kaha has many likely addressable issues itself and is in need of attention.  Schmidt,  MICHAEL Q. 06:05, 23 June 2012 (UTC)
 * I see your, Joe's and Bushranger's point in redirecting the article to the TV show. But i am not completely happy with this for only and only reason. The articles on Indian Hindi-language TV serials are extensively edited by illiterate clever SPAs and IPs. They remove references. They write whole plot story. They redirect articles just because they think should. They edit articles only about these shows and the actors in those shows. Eg is the creator of this article who has edited only articles related to this show. Its not just me, but many other regular editors have concerns that these are all Production houses trying to glorify their own shows or disturbing competitor shows. (I can't prove that.) In such situations i would not be surprised if the redirect edit is reverted in next few days repeatedly and we all are again discussing this issue on someone's talk page. §§AnimeshKulkarni (talk) 12:24, 23 June 2012 (UTC)
 * If that happens, I have no problems with protecting the redirect to enforce. (Also no objections to userfication.) --j⚛e deckertalk 16:08, 23 June 2012 (UTC)
 * Well....If you all say so we can try the redirect and save the article somewhere in incubator. (Lets give some brain activity to these SPAs.) §§AnimeshKulkarni (talk) 10:36, 25 June 2012 (UTC)
