There are no reliable sources out there about this actor. Therefore, no info can be written about him and no wiki page is needed. News Today is an unreliable source. TamilMirchi (talk) 03:26, 4 August 2020 (UTC)

 * Delete trival mentions are not enough to determine notability. It clearly lacks independent coverage in reliable sources, fails WP:GNG and WP:NACTOR. TheBirdsShedTears (talk) 03:35, 4 August 2020 (UTC)
 * Question: It looks like he's played some major roles in the films he's been in. For example, he's mentioned in this review for Yemaali from the Times of India, where he (and his character) are listed in the first paragraph and mentioned again thereafter. His performance is also covered in this Sify review. Then there's this TOI review (and also this Sify review) for Lisaa, where he's mentioned and looks to be one of the main characters of the movie. He's also in this Indiaglitz review and this one from the Deccan Chronicle. He doesn't seem to have been a main character here, but his role seems to have been major enough to warrant mention in multiple film reviews. It looks like all three films he's been in would pass NFILM, so by extension he should pass the first criteria for WP:NACTOR?

 * Comment He would pass WP:Nactor if sources other than film reviews covered him (such as The Times of India, The Hindu).TamilMirchi (talk) 20:34, 5 August 2020 (UTC)
 * But wouldn't film reviews count as the roles being notable, if he's a major role or major enough to be covered in the review - sometimes even in fair depth? It just seems like with that rationale, an author wouldn't be able to gain notability for reviews of their books. There have been reviews used to establish notability in the past for actors. Is this a relatively new change? ReaderofthePack (formerly Tokyogirl79)  (｡◕‿◕｡)  03:03, 7 August 2020 (UTC)
 * I'll bring this up on the film/acting WikiProject just in case - if this is changed then I need to be aware of this. ReaderofthePack (formerly Tokyogirl79)  (｡◕‿◕｡)  03:04, 7 August 2020 (UTC)
