Keep: meets WP:ACTOR with significant roles (recurring roles are not minor) in multiple notable productions. -Mushy Yank. 09:10, 14 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Can you describe how WP:NACTOR has been satisfied here? Capitals00 (talk) 23:20, 15 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]
It’s in my !vote. He had ”significant roles in multiple notable productions”. -Mushy Yank. 08:40, 16 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]
You are yet to describe that. Capitals00 (talk) 01:38, 18 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Delete. Fails to meet WP:NACTOR. Poor to unreliable to non independent sources. No significant coverage from secondary independent reliable sources. RangersRus (talk) 21:36, 17 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Keep – The article of Ajay Mishra clearly satisfies the notability guidelines for actors. He has played significant and well-recognized roles in national TV serials such as *Mahabharat*, *Suryaputra Karn*, *Baal Krishna*, *Devi Adi Parashakti*, *Ram Siya Ke Luv Kush*, *CID*, and *Savdhaan India*.

Multiple reliable and independent sources have covered him over a period of years, including:

- [Times of India](https://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/tv/news/hindi/Mahabharat-to-end-with-one-hour-special/articleshow/40120358.cms)

- [NDTV](http://movies.ndtv.com/television/mahabharat-to-end-with-one-hour-special-episode-646408)

- [Aaj Tak](https://m.aajtak.in/movie-masala/small-screen/story/mahabharat-to-end-with-one-hour-special-775753-2014-08-13)

- [Jagran Post](http://post.jagran.com/mahabharat-to-end-with-onehour-special-1407844793)

- [TellyChakkar](https://www.tellychakkar.com/tv/tv-news/nimai-bali-and-ajay-mishra-dangal-s-devi-200113)

These are national-level media outlets offering significant coverage, not just passing mentions. Ajay Mishra has been active in Indian television and theater for over a decade and is an alumnus of Bhartendu Academy of Dramatic Arts.

Per WP:NACTOR, actors are presumed notable if they have had significant roles in multiple notable productions, which is clearly the case here. Therefore, I strongly recommend **Keep**.— Preceding unsigned comment added by Ajay24augm (talk • contribs) — Ajay24augm (talk • contribs) has made few or no other edits outside this topic.

Source Analysis. TOI, NDTV, AajTak are all same copied brief interview about the subject talking about his experience on his role as "Sanjay" in Mahabharata. Not independent sources. Jagran source is on some different article and nothing on the subject. Tellychakker is unreliable WP:ICTFSOURCES. RangersRus (talk) 04:29, 19 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Delete fails WP:NACTOR; subject appears to have played minor roles in major productions. A "significant role" under NACTOR refers to substantial involvement across the duration of a notable work, not just a part that's important to a particular scene or subplot. No independent, reliable sources establish enduring notability. GSS ^💬 21:11, 19 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]
