Asif Basra

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

PROD removed by a user who has joined a few others who have been hounding me recently so here we are at AfD; the listed sources, however number they are, are simply background characters and nothing to suggest any actual better notability. Searches also found nothing else better which is another concern. SwisterTwister  talk  04:38, 6 April 2016 (UTC)

 * Delete: My Google searches don't turn up nearly enough to establish notability here, pretty much everything found is passing mentions at best. Fails WP:GNG. Chrisw80 (talk) 04:02, 7 April 2016 (UTC)
 * Keep Basra clearly passes the notability guidelines for actors. He had clearly had main roles in at least two notable films. I am sure there are more sources on him published in India. The fact that they are not easily found in English language searches on the web should not cause us to remove this article on someone who clearly is well above the notability threshold for an actor.John Pack Lambert (talk) 05:07, 9 April 2016 (UTC)
 * Comment: But it's just not so clear. WP:ENTERTAINER states "Has had significant roles in multiple notable films, television shows, stage performances, or other productions."  Yes, he's held a lot of roles, even in some notable films. However, the roles held were not significant (several were not even named characters, and the named characters appear to have been billed rather low in the cast list) in all notable films except for Outsourced (film) which is the only exception I see.  I think it's simply WP:TOOSOON here. For the record, I did also search via Indian Newspapers Search. Chrisw80 (talk) 05:23, 9 April 2016 (UTC)
