Avishek Karthik

Non-notable actor, no significant coverage in independent reliable sources and I can't see if the actor has played a major role in any of the film listed in the article except Kaathadi which is not yet released so fails WP:NACTOR and general notability guideline.

Keep passes WP:NACTOR third in the credits (credited as Deva) in Nadunisi Naaygal and the leading role in Kaathadi which is released next week which perhaps indicates that both the article and the AFD are slightly premature Atlantic306 (talk) 20:10, 17 February 2018 (UTC)[reply]

@Atlantic306: Do you have any reliable source to support your claim? was his role notable/major? Wikipedia is not meant to be a comprehensive listing of anyone ever credited in a film. GSS (talk|c|em) 02:46, 18 February 2018 (UTC)[reply]

This source [1] confirms leading role in Kaathadi. The WP:NACTOR exact criteria is for significant roles rather than notable/major and he has two significant roles as a lead and a third billing.Having a lead role in a mainstream film is not run of the mill.

I was not asking for the source about his role in Kaathadi which is alrady there in the article but for other film where he played a significant role which is missing to support this claim. Thank you – GSS (talk|c|em) 11:55, 18 February 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Keep, as above. Credited as a part of the main supporting cast in Vaaranam Aayiram and played one of the three lead characters in Nadunisi Naaygal. Both are films by the very notable Gautham Menon. Kaathadi will be out this week. The article also features sources primarily concerning him. Meets WP:NACTOR.

As above, the character he played in other films must be notable/major to pass WP:NACTOR and there is no such sources that I can find to support your claim. There is not a single source that talk about the subject directly and in details so this article should be Deleted or Redirect to his upcoming film per WP:TOOSOON.

Sorry - added new sources including [2] and [3]. Editor 2050 (talk) 14:49, 18 February 2018 (UTC)[reply]

See I'm very confuse with your soruces above, this source reads Deva owes it to Gautham Menon and this source read For the special screening of Sri Devi's nephew Karthik's debut movie Erra Gulabilu which is very unclear whether the source talking about Avishek Karthik or some other person go with the same surname, now I can't understand who is Deva? if he is Avishek Karthik then we need a source that say he was credited as Deva in Nadunisi Naaygal which I can't find so I hope you understand and cooperate in finding a soruce. GSS (talk|c|em) 15:37, 18 February 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Sorry, Erra Gulabilu is the dubbed Telugu version of Nadunisi Naaygal - I guess he used "Deva" only for the Tamil version. "Deva" and "Avishek Karthik" are the same person, he's just gone in for a new stage name. Here, he talks about his experience of working on his three films.

Sorry the link to Youtube video above is not in English and I can't understand what they are talking about but I listened to the whole video and tried to understand and I think they were talking about the film Kaathadi but I can't find where he said that he was credited as Deva in Nadunisi Naaygal.
