Non-notable Indian actor; most notable English-language appearance seems to be as a minor, unnamed character in A Mighty Heart. fuzzy510 (talk) 00:44, 22 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]
- Delete. English-language appearances aside, I can't find any information on him other than a filmography. I'll reconsider if someone familiar with Indian actors digs up some sources.-Wafulz (talk) 04:03, 22 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]
- Keep pending sources. The fact his sole English language role is minor is irrelevant, since most of his work has been done in India. Edward321 (talk) 04:17, 22 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]
- The proper rationale is to delete until sources are found, not to keep assuming that sources will eventually appear.-Wafulz (talk) 04:22, 22 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]
- Weak keep Sources: [1][2]. Actors do not need English-language appearances to be considered notable. Also Wikipedia:BIO#Entertainers; he has a leading role in Chai Pani [3] and directed Mansarovar. cab (talk) 07:27, 22 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

- Keep. What on earth have English-language appearances got to do with notability? Notability is about references in reliable sources, which cab has found. Phil Bridger (talk) 15:26, 24 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]
