Imran Khan (Pakistani actor)
AfDs for this article: 
 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

Unable to verify WP:Notability (person). Article passed an AfD but for the wrong reasons. Rather than challenge the close, I thought it best to renominate for the record. Atsme 📞📧 17:51, 9 September 2018 (UTC)
 * NOTE: This article was passed as keep in May, but after I researched the claims for keep in the AfD discussion, the information was unverifiable except for passing mention in too few independent movie reviews, in a list of stars on WP articles about the few movies that are "notable", and at IMBD. Wikilinks and IMBD are not acceptable sources to pass N, and neither is inclusion in a list of "stars".  It not only fails the required RS to substantiate WP:Notability (people), things get even more confusing when looking at the dab page.  Atsme 📞📧 18:20, 9 September 2018 (UTC)

 * Comment I think the Keep votes at the last AfD are based on a misunderstanding of WP:BIO. The arguments seem to say that simply meeting a criterion of WP:ACTORBIO makes the subject notable, and seem to overlook that the subject doesn't seem to have coverage in third party sources (unless there's other-language sources out there?), which is still a requirement. The criteria listed at WP:BIO are merely indicators that such sources are likely to exist. Adam9007 (talk) 18:31, 9 September 2018 (UTC)
 * , the more research I did on this particular BLP, the more it appears to either be a hoax or an entire misinterpretation/conflation of persons. For example, this BLP is listed as starring in the film Waar when he did not star in that film.  It was Imran Khan, the prime minister of Pakistan, who did a cameo in the movie.  I removed yet another film because there are no RS that list this BLP in the cast or in their reviews - example: the movie Salute - Metrolive does not list Imran Khan in the cast.  You should not have reverted my A7 because now we have to go through this time sink over what appears to be either a complete hoax or a one-time film which cannot be verified by anything more than a passing mention in an unreliable source.

 * Delete per nom; there seems to be nothing about this person other than an (unreliable) IMDb entry, and a listing on the credits of Laaj. power~enwiki ( π, ν ) 22:01, 10 September 2018 (UTC)
