 * Keep, as long as there is enough info.--hnnvansier (talk) 13:01, 1 March 2009 (UTC)
 * Delete, award is notable, but it was the award for the 'best cast'. Hence it goes to the whole cast and that does not exactly make each recipient notable.--GDibyendu (talk) 13:22, 1 March 2009 (UTC)
 * Keep The subject is a leading member of the cast of an academy award winning picture. His fate is making news around the world.QPLondon —Preceding undated comment added 16:56, 1 March 2009 (UTC).
 * Keep Plenty of sources about the real-life and acting career of the subject. Note that his notability arises not only from his on-screen performance for which the cast won the award (which would perhaps not be notable enough, by itself); but from his, and some of his fellow castmembers, atypical circumstances and biography. Doesn't satisfy WP:ENTERTAINER, but easily meets WP:GNG/WP:BIO standards. Article needs work, but that is not an AFD issue. Abecedare (talk) 06:16, 2 March 2009 (UTC)
 * Keep, for the same reason provided by Abecedare. Azhar is notable for not only his on-screen performance (and the awards he won for it) but also for the circumstances he faces in his real life, which is getting a lot of attention from the media.

 * Now that Azharuddin has recently been cast in an upcoming Bollywood film, that's even more of a reason to keep this article! Regards, Jagged 85 (talk) 17:53, 5 March 2009 (UTC)
