Veena Nair

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

Non-notable person, fails WP:BASIC. Her acting works are all trivial background roles, and no coverage for the dancer, comedian, and TV presenter descriptions. Article is cited with interviews, which are WP:PRIMARY sources and the remaining are non-RS references. 137.97.89.139 (talk) 13:22, 24 March 2020 (UTC)

 Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.
 * Delete - As per IP user. Additionally searching for sources only revealed interviews regarding her time as a contestant in Bigg Boss Malayalam. Same for non-English sources (used Google Translate). SerChevalerie (talk) 19:33, 24 March 2020 (UTC)

 * Comment For further research purposes: her name seems to be “വീണ നായർ" in Malayalam. She might meet WP:ENT for having a "large fan base or a significant "cult" following" in India (from her participation on Bigg Boss Malayalam), but I'm not sure what's considered "large" for that criteria. The Google News hits for her name in Malayalam seem considerable. Also, this source says that she's well-known on Tik Tok, and has 371,400 followers on the platform. Outside of Bigg Boss, she seems to have had a role in the movie Vellimoonga and a main character role in Akkamma Stalinum Pathrose Gandhiyum, and seems to be a recurring character in Thatteem Mutteem. But I'm not sure if that's enough to meet criteria #1 in WP:ENT either. - Whisperjanes (talk) 23:25, 4 April 2020 (UTC)

 * Weak Keep but needs to be majorly cleaned up. I wrote a comment above, but on further thought, I think she probably just barely passes notability with WP:ENT because of her roles and/or her fan-following, unless more reliable sources can be found that talk about her acting roles. - Whisperjanes (talk) 00:01, 11 April 2020 (UTC)
