Nehara Pieris

 * – (View AfD) (View log)

Unverifiable biography of a living person. I was brought to this article by a notice at the conflict of interest noticeboard, where a concern was raised that the article was being edited by a person whose sole purpose on Wikipedia was to promote the article subject. I was unable to tell for certain that there was a COI, but I did see that the article badly needed improvement. I began to do so and in the course of trying to find sources, I found that there were none (at least online). I found exhaustive coverage of this person in blogs and social networking sites, but that was it. Clearly she is not notable by Wikipedia's standards. --  At am a  頭 16:11, 27 October 2009 (UTC)

 * Delete – Article lacks Attribution to Verify WP:BIO or WP:BLP notability criteria … subject is not even notable enough for an IMDb listing, which most Bollywood Kollywood performers have … even their Official website is nothing but an "Under Construction" page … may have won some awards, but they are not notable enough to have Wikipedia articles, or to satisfy WP:ENTERTAINER. &mdash;  20:06, 27 October 2009 (UTC)

 * Strong keep Nehara Pieris is very popular in Sri Lanka. Has won the Sumathi tele awards' popular actress award in 2008. (Sri Lanka's equivalent of Golden globes) True This lacks any reliable sources. Remove the facebook extracts but Keep the article. I have listed some reliable sources in article talk page.-- Chanaka L  ( talk ) 03:53, 2 November 2009 (UTC)
 * Comment - In every one of those sources you cited, her name is mentioned once, that is the extent of coverage she is given. Do you have anything else? --  At am a  頭 08:24, 2 November 2009 (UTC)

 Please add new comments below this notice. Thanks, NW ( Talk ) 15:57, 3 November 2009 (UTC)
 * Delete - No reliable sources. If this actress's career continues on the present course, she should eventually get written up in traditional media and there will be something that we can cite. It is embarrassing that even her personal web site is not yet online. There seems to be some work still to be done. I hope that her web site, when it finally appears, will include press clippings with full citations that we can check. EdJohnston (talk) 18:30, 2 November 2009 (UTC)
 * Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion so consensus may be reached.


 * Comment – This could be userfied as User:Nimonline/Nehara Pieris … then it can be moved back to article space if/when the subject meets WP:ENTERTAINER &mdash; 138.88.125.101 (talk) 20:24, 7 November 2009 (UTC)
