Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Prasad Babu


 * The following discussion is an archived debate of the proposed deletion of the article below. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made on the appropriate discussion page (such as the article's talk page or in a deletion review).  No further edits should be made to this page.  

The result was Delete There is ten days after creation still no assertion of notability in the article ("Prasad Babu is a Tollywood film actor, who is known for his roles as the villain.") and no evidence of his notability has been put forward in this discussion. Unsupported assertions are not sufficient for AfD discussions as we can't put them in the article. No prejudice against recreation as long as it actually provides evidence of notability. ~ trialsanderrors 23:23, 30 November 2006 (UTC)

Prasad Babu


Non notable actor. < 10 ghits, IMDB has only a filmography and the names of co-'stars' with no plot summaries, pictures or reviews.  •E l om i s•     19:50, 21 November 2006 (UTC)
 * Keep I don't know what you typed into Google to get less than 10 hits, I got over 600 hits, not all about him but plenty of them are. Seems to be very well known in India (see ). Also, I don't think you can cite IMDB's lack of coverage of Tollywood films as evidence of non-notability. --Canley 18:21, 22 November 2006 (UTC)
 * Delete in its current state. It is thin on facts and sources. LittleOldMe 18:44, 22 November 2006 (UTC)

 * Weak delete IMDB does show some films, in which he acted, but the credits lists him somewhere at the bottom of the list. This leads me to believe that he a minor actor, hence article should be deleted. -- Agεθ020  ( ΔT  •  ФC ) 19:21, 22 November 2006 (UTC)
 * Week keep - One day old stub. If it wasn't speedied, then give someone at least a couple of days to expand and source it. -- Elar  a  girl  Talk 21:11, 22 November 2006 (UTC)
 * Keep - there is systemic bias in ghits. Perhaps finding a user more well-versed in Tollywood may help. Bakaman  Bakatalk 03:54, 23 November 2006 (UTC)
 * Keep-But expand. This article is about a talented,notable Teluge film star. He is popular in Andhrapradesh.Another thing that which I have to remind u all is that Google hits must not be taken as a benchmark or yardstick in Asian related AfD's. Widely circulated news papers in Andhra Pradesh are in Telugu language. News reports from Telugu dailies are not available in google eventhough it have millions of copies. In this contest we have to consult with wikipedians from Andhrapradesh. Let them to tell this actor is notable or not...! Nileena joseph (Talk 16:25, 23 November 2006 (UTC)
 * Keep Not all Indian movies are indexed in IMDB.   Doctor Bruno    21:39, 23 November 2006 (UTC)
 * Comment No not all Indian movies are indexed in IMDB, not all people are indexed in Google, but there has to be a line somewhere whereby we have to look to international sources for evidence of notability. Systemic bias is a weak excuse waved as an example of Godwin's Law, that is, discrediting things by casting illusions about racism or other despicable phenomena,  please stop.  I would also note that having to consult wikipedians from Andhrapradesh to get information about this person is evidence of a lack of notability.  •E l om i s•      06:54, 25 November 2006 (UTC)
 * Comment Not all Indian movies are indexed in IMDB and not all people are indexed in Google. This is a fact. By the way, "non-notable" is not equal to "I don't know"   Doctor Bruno    20:02, 26 November 2006 (UTC)
