Fails WP:GNG and WP:NACTOR: No significant coverage in multiple independent reliable sources. A Google search found only this source which was published back in 2009, no new sources and no evidence to support his role in Dhoni: The Untold Story. I'm open to withdraw my nomination if anyone can provide some more independent reliable sources to support notability. GSS (talk |c|em ) 16:03, 24 March 2017 (UTC)

 * Delete I concur with GSS's assessment, and have said as much on the creator's talk page. I gave him a warning about autobiographies two days ago . He ignored it, kept on working on Draft:Rajiv Kathpalia. I asked him twice (1, 2) to respond. No response. He has twice removed an autobiography tag from the article (1,2), despite having been told about writing autobiographies before and knows this is a real problem. The editor's pattern of edits have been strictly in support of Rajeev Kathpalia, demonstrating they are a Single-purpose account. While these actions are not themselves reasons for deletion, they help illuminate the situation. As to the article itself, I have also attempted to inform the editor of the same concerns that GSS has raised. I noted this here on March 22, and again today. Outside of the one article from 2009, there is nothing to go on here. Thus, this is a failure of WP:GNG. Despite efforts, I can not verify through reliable sources that there was even a character of the name "Mihir" in the one movie this actor supposedly acted in. No such character is shown on our article here, nor on the imdb cast listing for this movie. So even if he did appear as this character, the character is so minor as to be effectively not worth mentioning. Thus, this is a failure of WP:NACTOR; the actor has had no significant roles of any kind. I believe this person, or a person acting on behalf of him, is attempting to promote themselves and use Wikipedia to do so. The article is an output of that, and has no basis for acceptability under Wikipedia standards. Like GSS, I'm willing to amend my recommendation if some reliable sources can be found. --Hammersoft (talk) 16:26, 24 March 2017 (UTC)
 * Delete. I must also concur with the rationale given; after getting the page creator to remove "Official account" from their username, it seems that it is the person promoting themselves. 331dot (talk) 17:53, 24 March 2017 (UTC)
