Vardhan Puri
AfDs for this article:


 * – ( View AfD View log | edits since nomination)

Non-notable actor, having acted in only 1 movie, thereby failing WP:NACTOR. All his upcoming movies have been shelved as per. His claim to fame is as the grandson of acclaimed actor Amrish Puri, but since notability is not inherited, it should not get to remain.

 * DeleteUnfortunately, all of his upcoming movies have been shelved, and it is uncertain if they will resume production or be released. With only one lead role to his credit, the actor does not currently meet the criteria to be considered notable. It might be more appropriate to wait and create the article in the future when these films, where the actor is in a lead role, are released.AmusingWeasel (talk) 13:28, 22 June 2023 (UTC)

 * Keep or at the very worst, redirect. I'm seeing adequate coverage of him in The Tribune, Dec 01, 2022 (Indian paper), Actor Vardhan Puri is making headlines these days. He talks about his passion for music, grandfather Amrish Puri & more, and in The Times of India, Jan 16, 2019 - Vardhan Puri: Interesting facts about Amrish Puri’s grandson, and Hindustan Times, May 12, 2021 - Amrish Puri’s grandson Vardhan jokes his parents can be called ‘product of nepotism’: ‘They will be proud to say yes’ etc. etc.. So if things go bad for this, wouldn't it make better sense to preserve the history and redirect it to his grandfather Amrish Puri's page and have a small paragraph there? OK, so he has only starred in one released film with four others pending. But, he has been an assistant director for Ishaqzaade (2012), Shuddh Desi Romance (2013), and Daawat-e-Ishq (2014) See here at Imdb Harshvardhan Puri. I'd be happy with a keep. But if the consensus leans towards not keeping then can we do this and redirect it? Cheers Karl Twist (talk) 12:42, 24 June 2023 (UTC)
 * Does not satisfy WP:NACTOR by being the assistant director of some movies or acting in a lead role in a small movie. Even if you look at the references it is all press about him being Amrish Puri's grand-son, rather than about him doing the lead role in the movie. Does not warrant a keep, but may be redirected to his illustrious grandfather's page if everyone believes he may become notable in the future.  Jupitus Smart  13:29, 25 June 2023 (UTC)

 * Keep per Karl Twist. Notability is notability, it doesn't matter if it's through the GNG instead of NACTOR, if it's for being someone's grandson (and an actor) rather than just being an actor. –&#8239;Joe (talk) 09:56, 3 July 2023 (UTC)
 * Keep. He had worked as an Asst. director for 3 notable films. He had worked as an actor for a notable production house (Pen India Limited) film and also been nominated for same in Filmfare Awards for 'Best Male Debut'. Definitely, article can be improved but not require deletion. --DSN18 (talk) 18:41, 3 July 2023 (UTC)
