Jitendra Joshi (Marathi actor)

 * – ( View AfD View log  •  Stats )

Fails WP:GNG as far as I can tell.  Captain Screebo Parley! 15:29, 29 April 2012 (UTC)
 * I think that the person is fairly notable. The problem is I did not get time to give references. He is a very well known actor in marathi. Abhijeet Safai (talk) 18:35, 29 April 2012 (UTC)
 * You may add Marathi references too for proving notability. But no references at all wont help. §§AnimeshKulkarni (talk) 10:39, 30 April 2012 (UTC)

 * Should the tag be removed now? Abhijeet Safai (talk) 18:15, 1 May 2012 (UTC)
 * Certainly not, the link you added makes one fleeting mention of this actor, please see the WP:GNG for what sort of coverage is required for a person to have an article.  Captain Screebo Parley! 11:22, 4 May 2012 (UTC)

 * Keep: Notable Marathi actor.--Milowent • hasspoken 04:08, 14 May 2012 (UTC)
 * Delete. The above opinion makes no argument. The article contains only one source,, that goes beyond a passing mention,and it's not clear how reliable that is. This makes the article as it currently stands fail WP:GNG.   Sandstein   07:02, 14 May 2012 (UTC) Opinion struck because the article has been improved, per talk page message. Currently no opinion.   Sandstein   04:59, 22 May 2012 (UTC)
 * What "argument" should I make? He's notable.  If the article gets deleted because no one cares to research the guy, well, oh well, it happens every day.  Google Translate's lack of Marathi translation ability is a problem here (not to mention that use of the marathi language online - the 15th most-spoken language is the world - is far behind many other languages).--Milowent • hasspoken  12:43, 14 May 2012 (UTC)
 * In case needed, its written as "जितेंद्र जोशी" or "जितेन्द्र जोशी" in Marathi. §§AnimeshKulkarni (talk) 12:59, 14 May 2012 (UTC)
 * I've done some work on it, and Animeshkulkarni, who knows Marathi is finding some better stuff (awards, etc.).--Milowent • hasspoken 14:35, 14 May 2012 (UTC)
 * Comment - Regarding User:Sandstein's !vote above, a very important distinction is that topic notability is not based upon whether or not sources are present in articles. Topic notability is based upon the availability of reliable sources. Please read WP:NRVE, where it's stated ..."The absence of citations in an article (as distinct from the non-existence of sources) does not indicate that the subject is not notable." Northamerica1000(talk) 04:15, 16 May 2012 (UTC)


 * Keep: Passes WP:ENTERTAINER as the subject "has had significant roles in multiple notable films, television shows, stage performances". Also the current state should pass WP:GNG. Will add more prose to the article. Have just worked on presenting his works till now. §§AnimeshKulkarni (talk) 20:29, 14 May 2012 (UTC)
 * Keep: Notable and article has got considerable sources. Thanks. -  Vivvt Talk 20:36, 14 May 2012 (UTC)
 * Sound Keep and close per WP:ENT, WP:GNG and WP:ANYBIO. With respects to the nominator's statement of "Fails WP:GNG as far as I can tell", it seems this guess was disproved by others better able to find sources. Notability has been established and sourced. With respects to Sandstein's concern toward the article then having only one source, same response... and an adviso that looking has found the subject spoken of in multiple sources... sources which do not have to be used in the article if determining notability... only that they be available for improving, which was done through regular editing. Kudos to both Animeshkulkarni and to Milowent!!!  Schmidt,  MICHAEL Q. 23:01, 18 May 2012 (UTC)

 * These things generally run 7 days... or are relisted (as this one was twice). If there were no delete votes and the nominator had chosen to withdraw, a SNOW close would be reasonable. But worry not... someone will come along close this AFD when its time for close is due, as make note that the article has gone throgh major improvements since the last re-listing.  Schmidt,  MICHAEL Q. 21:58, 19 May 2012 (UTC)
 * Ok.and thanks to Animeshkulkarni ! :) Abhijeet Safai (talk) 04:49, 20 May 2012 (UTC)


 * Keep referred to this person as a prominent actor.   says he is one of the well-known names from the Marathi film industry.  That's from the Highbeam search.  Regular Google news archive search has results to go through as well.  The person is a prominent and well known actor clearly.   D r e a m Focus  23:13, 21 May 2012 (UTC)
