Comment: References are mentions, WP:NEWSORGINDIA, or film reviews simply verifying roles, or otherwise unreliable. NACTOR is not met simply for having these roles and verifying through sources. There needs to be significant coverage to allow to create a page without original research. I also did a WP:BEFORE to help save time for future submissions and was also unable to find anything that would show notability. CNMall41 (talk) 18:12, 22 March 2025 (UTC)
