Astha Agarwal
AfDs for this article:


 * – ( View AfD View log | edits since nomination)

She is a television actress since around 10 years playing character roles. Does not satisfy GNG or NACTOR, and the closest to a significant role is for the show Kya Haal, Mr. Paanchal? where it is of one of the five wives of the titular character.

She is also a beauty pageant winner. But while we have two articles on the Mrs. India pageant (Persona, Haut Monde), the one that she won in 2014 - Gladrags Mrs. India had its article deleted in 2015 with no assertion of notability.

The actress article was created and majorly edited by an SPA who may have a COI, or may be AUTOBIO. I did ask at the user's talk page but got no response. The image at the article was uploaded and linked by a sock (see investigation) whose first edit was also to the actress page.

I would recommend deletion. Jay 💬 16:45, 29 July 2023 (UTC)

 * Some history: After the article was deleted at the first AfD two years back, an editor in what was his only edit, highlighted the deletion at the Teahouse, where it turned out that the AfD nom and the supporter had been blocked as socks. This led to a DRV, where, while there was some support for deletion, the AfD close was vacated and article restored because of sock reasons, for it to be renominated, however it was not renominated.

 * Delete: This is certainly an interesting story for an article. Based on the lack of GNG sources and failure to meet the thresholds of NACTOR, I think it's a fair (lack-of-)notability delete. Actualcpscm (talk) 17:50, 5 August 2023 (UTC)
