Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Vijay Deenanath Chauhan (2nd nomination)


 * 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 no consensus. With no new comments after a second relist, I doubt there will be more discussion after another relist, so the discussion ends, again, with no consensus to delete. Although currently there is no redirect target, this result does not bar anyone from merging the content to the article about the work, so this might be considered instead of renominating the article for deletion again.

 * Agneepath is a disambiguation page and it no where mentions or should mention "Vijay Deenanath Chauhan". That redirect would be useless. §§Dharmadhyaksha§§ {Talk / Edits} 04:41, 16 January 2017 (UTC)
 * Exactly. A poor redirect does not serve the project nor its readers.  Schmidt,  Michael Q. 11:22, 18 January 2017 (UTC)

 * Weak keep per WP:NRVE and WP:NEXIST and WP:NTEMP as being discussed in multiple Indian media. Per WP:INDAFD: "Vijay Deenanath Chauhan" The first result is a 20 minute 2011 NDTV video article about how "Vijay Deenanath Chauhan still rules the hearts" and relating the character's background and evolution summarizing that "1990's Agneepath was memorable for its central character, a man who embraced a world of anger. 17 years after Zanjeer, Amitabh Bachchan proved the Angry Young Man could still leave moviegoers spellbound". Needs translation, but perhaps through available multiple sources, commentary, and analysis this character article this is savable per searches showing that the NDTV coverage above is supported by further character discussions and comparisons in (for instance) Daily News & Analysis  India Today  Indian Express  Bollywood Life  Times of India'Loksatta (Marathi)  Navbharat Times (Marathi) Navshatki (Marathi)   and others. Article needs work, not deletion. And sorry, but surmountable issues of WP:UGLY and WP:NOEFFORT are poor deletion rationales.  Schmidt, ' Michael Q.'' 11:13, 18 January 2017 (UTC)
 * The article currently is plot of both films and nothing else. Yes am aware that we have no time limits, but in that case I would suggest the article be removed from main space into a draft space for editors to work on. Your collection of links is not very impressive one; for example Loksatta (Marathi) link is about a certain Vijay Yashwant Vilhekar, not our character. Times of India taglink gives results of Vijay (actor), Vijay Rupani, Vijay Sampla, Vijay Bahuguna, Vijay Kumar, Vijay Goel and so many other Vijays but not our character. Apart from all that; please note that the name "Vijay Deenanath Chauhan" will be in many references on google, but that does not mean they all are writing considerabley anything about the character. for example "AB played VDC" will be in many refs and such google hits dumblist dumplist is useless to gauge notability. §§Dharmadhyaksha§§ {Talk / Edits} 11:53, 18 January 2017 (UTC)
