Manisha Kohli

 * – ( View AfD View log | edits since nomination)

Fails WP:ANYBIO, and WP:NACTOR. The article is a stub claiming that she is a model who won a beauty pageant 35 years ago, and acted in a film. There is a sourced claim that she won Miss India in 1987. I doubt that that would be sufficient on its own, but the claim and the underlying source (nothing but a caption on a company PR photo) actually appear to be incorrect. A better source is https://www.timescontent.com/syndication-photos/reprint/fashion/264784/priyadarshini-pradhan-manisha-kohli.html which states that Priyadarshini Pradhan won Miss India in 1987, and Manisha Kohli was the runner up. Our article on the pageant, Femina Miss India, agrees that Priyadarshini Pradhan won in 1987, and that Manisha Kohli was sent to represent India at Miss World as the runner up in the 1987 pageant. She did not place at Miss World (see Miss World 1987).

The article also contains an unsourced claim that she was in a movie. IMDB does mention someone of that name in Avam (1987) https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0158477/fullcredits/?ref_=tt_ql_cl and Do Gulab (1983) https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0214634/fullcredits/?ref_=tt_ql_cl. It seems likely these were not major roles as IMDB does not even have a picture of her, and has almost no biographical content.

The claim that she is (was) a model is not sourced.

If someone can find sufficient material to show notability I'll happily withdraw this, but I can find virtually nothing but mirrors of Wikipedia's article. Meters (talk) 05:18, 25 May 2022 (UTC)
 * Delete: I am also in for deletion. But something to note is, in the cast section of Awam (film), it is given that, the subject has played the role of "Princess Saloni", though I am not sure if it is true or not. But if we consider this article from the notability point of view, then I think, she fails both WP:GNG and WP:NACTOR. Plus, it also has got false claims about the subject.

 * As I said, IMDB does list her in this movie, but it was clearly not a major role. She is listed under "Rest of cast listed alphabetically" rather then under "Cast". Meters (talk) 05:49, 25 May 2022 (UTC)
