Mehul Bhojak

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

The author of this article has repeatedly removed PROD and CSD tags, so taking it to AfD (see the trail at User_talk:Jigneshsatani). The article was previously deleted at 19:47 on 14 September 2016 by RHaworth (A7: Article about a real person, which does not credibly indicate the importance or significance of the subject), but was immediately re-created by the same user without any improvement. This situation has not changed; I still can't find any indication of noteworthiness. Gronk Oz (talk) 06:25, 16 September 2016 (UTC)


 * Delete - Does not qualify under A7, because it makes an assertion of notability. That said, the assertion does not check out, there are no sources to be found... google news actually gives ZERO results, which is ridiculous for someone claiming to be "the most popular actor" of any location.  Delete the article, but technically does not qualify for speedy.  PROD would have been fine, except the article author objects.  So... AfD is the only recourse now.

 Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus. Relisting comment: Newest sources need to be addressed. Jo-Jo Eumerus (talk, contributions) 08:14, 24 September 2016 (UTC)
 * Comment: Do not rely on Google hits for India related topics; instead use custom Google search engines listed at WP:INDAFD. Subject probably qualifies for inclusion as he seems to satisfy WP:NACTOR and WP:GNG criteria. Sources:, , , , , . Plus, I believe there must be some quality sources in Gujarati language published from the region he belongs to.  Anup   [Talk]  03:41, 24 September 2016 (UTC)

 * Strong Keep: Subject at the very least, meets WP:NACTOR for he has acted in multiple notable tv soap operas and films. Article has been re-written and few refs added in there. Again, Google doesn't establish notability on Wikipedia. Anup   [Talk]  06:04, 30 September 2016 (UTC)
 * NACTOR doesn't provide notability for acting in multiple notable TV shows but for playing "significant roles in multiple... shows". This isn't clear from the article yet. §§Dharmadhyaksha§§ {Talk / Edits} 10:11, 12 October 2016 (UTC)

 * Delete Post the previous editor's comments, I searched (and searched, and searched)... phew... no sources worth the effort. Fails GNG, fails, BASIC, fails NACTOR. Lourdes  12:57, 17 October 2016 (UTC)
