Fails WP:NENTERTAINER. While he had a main role on The Tribe (1999 TV series) I don't think that role by itself provides enough notability. A WP:BEFORE search did not bring up anything else significant enough to show he passes WP:GNG. Suonii180 (talk) 10:52, 1 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Delete nothing to improve notability found - everything I found goes back to his Tribe role. NealeWellington (talk) 09:42, 4 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Redirect to The Tribe (1999 TV series). WP:NACTOR requires significant roles in multiple notable films, television shows, stage performances, or other productions" (emphasis added), and Sundarasen does not meet that standard since, as the article notes, he was a "one-time" actor noted only for his appearance in The Tribe. He does not appear to meet WP:BASIC/the GNG either: my search for coverage found a few passing mentions but nothing more. In cases where an actor is known only for a role in a single program, a redirect to that program's article is often the optimal outcome: it's cheap, and it serves as a useful alternative to deletion, preserving the history and ensuring that readers reach content that is at least somewhat relevant.

Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.
