 * Keep. Easy GNG pass, e.g. the cited profile in Vogue. pburka (talk) 13:33, 22 August 2021 (UTC)
 * Keep per WP:HEY and WP:BASIC/WP:GNG - the article has been revised and expanded, and the in-depth as well as WP:SUSTAINED coverage in multiple independent and reliable sources is now more clear than when the article was nominated; per WP:BASIC, If the depth of coverage in any given source is not substantial, then multiple independent sources may be combined to demonstrate notability.

 * Comment I have been on a fence on this one. There is some problem or the other in almost all the sources. Something seems to be independent but not significant and sometimes, a source is significant but not independent. The only source that I think shines here is Gay Star News. Vogue is very interviewish. Could contribute to WP:BASIC. Beccaynr, sorry to add this to your work, but which all sources are you considering for WP:BASIC. Do we have at least 5-7?

 * Comment I am happy to further explain my thoughts, :
 * the 2018 Gay Star News article is a feature article written by a staff member, and offers significant, in-depth coverage.
 * the 2019 Vogue India article, is a feature, and from my view, includes substantial career and biographical information in addition to quotes, including that her performance on Dance Deewane "went viral", and charting her biography from childhood through her work as a model and drag queen.
 * The Vogue feature is also part of what Vogue India describes as an "iconic" issue, and she is on one of the online covers that received attention from Rediff.com in 2019 and mention in a 2020 Paper magazine article . So I also consider the feature to be further support for her WP:BASIC notability as a model and drag queen, because sources found the cover "worthy of notice" - while the coverage is not substantial, it is more than trival.
 * the 2017 Hindustan Times article is about the beginning of her career as a drag queen, and provides some background context and biographical information in addition to the interview quotes, and it helped develop the Career section of her article.
 * the 2019 IANS and RepublicWorld  articles are more than interviews about her role in Ye Hai #Mandi, with some independent context.
 * the 2021 Autostraddle review of Bombay Begums includes a highlight of her role ; The Indian Express referred to her role as a "star" in 2020 but RepublicWorld seems to more accurately describe her role as "supporting" in 2021.
 * there are also very brief mentions about her role in the 2020 song with Nikhita Gandhi in press-release-ish articles,.
 * Overall, I consider GSN and Vogue to be the strongest sources supporting WP:GNG, followed by the Hindustan Times, with WP:BASIC further supported by the constellation of other sources taking notice of her and her career. Beccaynr (talk) 03:16, 23 August 2021 (UTC)
