Indian TV actress who has worked in one TV show. Doesn't pass WP:GNG and WP:NACTOR. §§AnimeshKulkarni (talk) 07:25, 22 June 2012 (UTC)[reply]
- Keep has been covered or mentioned multiple times. Was it a notable character? It seems the character brought her few awards too! --Tito Dutta ✉ 07:34, 22 June 2012 (UTC)[reply]
- Most references covered in the google search are of fan-forums. The awards mentioned on the article are in-house awards. (Its like me giving my kids Quickest-Homework, Cleanest-Homework Awards and then making an articles on them.) Yes! The character was the lead-character of the show; but one & only show. §§AnimeshKulkarni (talk) 08:55, 22 June 2012 (UTC)[reply]
- Keep. The Times of India piece and the STAR Parivaar award look enough for this to be kept. I think we can count the FilmiTown source towards notability as well. — Mr. Stradivarius (have a chat) 10:58, 22 June 2012 (UTC)[reply]
- The TOI article says she completed her education and then started acting. So should we have articles of all people who completed their education and started acting? The Star Parivaar awards are in-house awards. (See my comment above.) Filmitown says...."FilmiTown.com does not warrant or make any representations concerning the accuracy, likely results, or reliability of the use of the materials on its Internet web site or otherwise relating to such materials or on any sites linked to this site". Perfectly good source!!! §§AnimeshKulkarni (talk) 11:34, 22 June 2012 (UTC)[reply]
- & if you go by TOI's articles, this one says she fainted. Lets have articles of all people who faint. §§AnimeshKulkarni (talk) 11:38, 22 June 2012 (UTC)[reply]
- That disclaimer on FilmiTown is no different to that found on many other websites. The New York Times says "this Web site and the content it contains, or may in the future contain, may be incomplete, inaccurate, out of date, or may not meet your needs and requirements"[1] and CNN does not "make any warranty ... as to the accuracy, reliability or content of any information" with additional disclaimers below[2]. Read WP:RS for how we actually decide if a source is reliable. And a story about an actress fainting indicates that she's considered sufficiently important to report upon. How many newspaper stories about people fainting have you come across? How many of them were about notable people? Your arguments seem to rely more on the belief that sarcasm is an all-powerful weapon than on any particular knowledge about the media, Wikipedia, or the world in general. --Colapeninsula (talk) 16:06, 22 June 2012 (UTC)[reply]
- Would you recommend use of such Filmitown.coms as reference on some contentious material on a BLP? I would avoid. And if i am doing that i would avoid it for considering notability also. TOI, amongst many other Indian newspapers, has a bad repute for being as good as a Page 3 newspaper. It is known to cover trivial material and give undue importance. And what are we gonna do with that article? Include in her biography that she fainted during production?
Well.... i might not have any knowledge of media, WP and world in general. But no one stops you from using your brilliance in proving the subject's notability. Go ahead. The article is all yours. §§AnimeshKulkarni (talk) 20:40, 23 June 2012 (UTC)[reply]

- Keep based on the sources given, awards, and a starring role in a soap opera. It seems she also won an Indian Telly Award, probably more significant than the Star Parivar awards which are, as mentioned, Star PLUS network awards. The Steve 11:21, 24 June 2012 (UTC)[reply]
