This stub almost qualifies for WP:BLPPROD except for the unreliable reference to IMDB.

Google search finds this Wikipedia article and many vanity hits (Facebook, LinkedIn) and fancruft. No evidence of critical attention.

Does not satisfy general notability or entertainment notability. Robert McClenon (talk) 14:06, 16 August 2018 (UTC)

 * Keep A month ago this article had an extensive filmography, paragraphs of text, and 3 non-imdb sources (whose Reliability I don't know about) but was then substantialky reduced in size with comment "(none of these are rs)". Mouse-overs of a few of the films listed show her listed in the lead paragraph of four out of the five I checked. Better sources may be needed, but it looks as if the article should be kept on the basis of starring/featuring in multiple films. Pam  D  09:37, 17 August 2018 (UTC)
 * Comment: She seems often to be referred to as just "Kiran" eg in Winner (2003 film) and here, which will complicate the finding of sources. Pam  D  09:46, 17 August 2018 (UTC)
 * Comment I have found and added one reliable source (The Hindu), which supports one statement in the article. I have also removed all the unsourced BLP content (ie all the rest, bar the lead sentence), and commented it out from the info box. I have left the Filmography untouched, as the links to articles on the films seem to confirm the info that Kiran appeared in those films, though it's technically unsourced. This article has been tagged since Nov 2017 as needing sources, and none have been supplied (until this one), but the woman does appear notable. None of Jupitus Smart's links seem to work for me.

 * Comment An editor has now added some content with Reliable Sources which I think establish her notability thoroughly. Pam  D  23:02, 25 August 2018 (UTC)
 * Sorry . I seem to be getting rusty at this. The actual links were, , and .  Jupitus Smart  06:08, 26 August 2018 (UTC)

 Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.
 * Delete It is high time we deleted all articles lacking even one reliable source.John Pack Lambert (talk) 05:07, 18 August 2018 (UTC)
 * Keep She does meet WP:ENT by virtue of having played the female lead alongside some of the top brass of Indian cinema. She has starred as the main heroine in movies like Anbe Sivam, Gemini, Winner and Thandavam. Found some more references, like |this, |this, |this and |this. Can be salvaged if somebody has the time to incorporate these and edit the article.  Jupitus Smart  18:57, 18 August 2018 (UTC)

 * Keep passes WP:NACTOR She is not an english movie actor and still we have enough WP:SIGCOV in english media. Number of movies also supports her notability. -- D Big X ray ᗙ  21:51, 29 August 2018 (UTC)
 * Keep passes WP:NACTOR, and WP:BASIC per links provided by Jupitus Smart. w umbolo   ^^^  12:29, 30 August 2018 (UTC)
