The result was   delete. There is a clear majority for deletion, and the case that notability is lacking has merit since there is a distinct lack of sourcing. The article cites the page which makes no mention of Aarthi, and the IMDB entry which is generally not considered or used as a reliable source. I am therefore closing this AFD accordingly.

Non-notable. Fails WP:BIO and WP:BLP. Lacks Independent Sources. Too much based on single primary source. Doublefrog (talk) 06:06, 5 May 2015 (UTC)

 Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion so a clearer consensus may be reached.
 * Keep - She has acted in over 40 South Indian movies, at least five television shows and is a recipient of an award that is considered significant in Tamil arts. Clearly passes WP:NACTOR. &mdash;  Yash! (Y) 22:00, 5 May 2015 (UTC)
 * Delete as fails GNG - Yup she's starred in a few shows but we judge mainly on notability, Not on how many shows they've been in, Anyway I can't find anything on her so will have to go with Delete. – Davey 2010 Talk 01:38, 6 May 2015 (UTC)

 * Delete Despite the number of films she's been in, it doesn't appear that independent and reliable sources felt these roles were noteworthy enough to write about. Additionally there doesn't seem to be much written in depth about her. As for the award, it's not clearly a "well-known and significant award" per WP:ANYBIO. Mkdw talk 01:44, 13 May 2015 (UTC)
 * Delete Lots of minor roles, but no media coverage or sources available (search complicated because her name is so common, and it is possible that alternate transliterations are used). The only source cited in the article doesn't mention Aarthi under any spelling variant and seems unrelated to the sentence it is attached to. She does seem to have won the Kalaimamani award, but I don't believe that is sufficient to satisfy WP:NACTOR especially given the minimal coverage the awards garner. eg .

 * Keep: - Won the Kalaimamani award. She has acted in many Indian movies, and several television shows. See Link. Also see Tamil sources. - Ret.Prof (talk) 16:15, 15 May 2015 (UTC)
