 * Nom's comment -- I do not find the sources listed in the article as sufficient for notability. They include:
 * "Khushboo Purohit, Remo and Prince Gupta of Lux 'Dance India Dance' during a photoshoot in Ahmedabad - Photogallery"
 * "Reporters Gossips: Khushboo Purohit aka Trisha to exit the show"
 * These are trivial mentions; there's not indication that the subject meets WP:NACTOR either. K.e.coffman (talk) 05:34, 8 September 2017 (UTC)

 * User:K.e.coffman, If you have evidence that this topic was in a beauty pageant, why are you not revealing the source of information? Otherwise, why are you listing it with Beauty pageants?  Unscintillating (talk) 00:48, 12 September 2017 (UTC)
 * No, I don't have evidence that the subject was in a beauty pageant. However, I consider reality TV competitions to be sort of pageants. Seeing that this AfD has had low participation and is on its third relist, I added it there. However, it appears to be confusing, I will remove it from the list at Deletion Sorting - Beauty Pageants.

Comment I am looking up more information about her and will comment later with my findings.--DreamLinker (talk) 13:06, 13 September 2017 (UTC)

 * Delete as the sources hardly provide any coverage about her. She participated in a dance reality show called Dance India Dance, but there are many such reality shows in Indian tv these days. Simply participating doesn't make one notable. The claims in the article that she acted in "numerous films" is slightly misleading. Her roles are quite minor and in some cases related to simply dancing in one music video. I would also like to mention that the sources are all Times groups (Times of India, Indiatimes) related and is limited to very short gossip articles. Here are some important points about the sources as well as about the person in general.
 * Ref 1 is not a reliable news source, but one of the many gossip websites online. These websites are often worse than tabloids and publish content without verification, often posting all sorts of rumours.
 * Ref 2 is just one tabloid image and a one line description. Indiatimes is part of the TOI group.
 * Ref 3 is a similar Indiatimes tabloid "news" (usually generated from anonymous sources). If you read the article, it is very short and that too only one sentence is devoted to her. A news article wouldn't end with "We wish luck to Khushboo for her Bollywood debut."
 * Ref 4 Once again a similar Indiatimes tabloid news with one sentence mention of her. The role in the movie is restricted to dancing in the music video.
 * It is surprising that there is no significant coverage about her in Hindustan Times and the Hindu, both major English dailies in India. A notable actor would usually have significant coverage in all three newspapers. Clearly, this is not the case here.
 * I am also quite surprised that so many new accounts are voting on this afd right after the account has been created, such as "Shashi 1980" and "Bisarch". Neither do I understand the rational of "Barbara (WVS)" who says sufficient citations to establish notability, despite the citations being really low quality.
 * She is upcoming actor who has had a few minor roles and I wish her all the best. But at this point of time she is not yet notable.--DreamLinker (talk) 01:35, 15 September 2017 (UTC)
 * Comment -- I've stricken votes by two now indef blocked accounts; pls see Sockpuppet investigations/Shashi 1980. K.e.coffman (talk) 06:12, 16 September 2017 (UTC)
 * Delete - clearly not enough in-depth coverage from independent, reliable sources to show she meets WP:GNG, and doesn't meet WP:NACTOR.  Onel 5969  TT me 12:53, 16 September 2017 (UTC)
