May not meet WP:NACTOR, WP:GNG and WP:SIGCOV. Doesn't meet WP:ENT as well. Not much has changed from the last AfDs, aside from the fact he's filming a couple new movies, i.e. it is still WP:TOOSOON for him to warrant an article. Not only that, the article was previously deleted, thus the new article must go through AFC process. That Mallu Guy (talk) 16:27, 20 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]

- Comment Earlier when this article was created, he had acted only in a single movie, Sufiyum Sujatayum. But now he completed four movies, out of which two of them whose release is delayed due to Covid pandemic will soon be released. The movie Shakuntalam is a big budget movie. People are eagerly awaiting for this historical movie. He is the lead actor in all the movies he had done. He has a great fan following from the first movie itself. Many sources are also kept for the notability.Sonal Mathew (talk) 15:26, 24 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Delete Plenty of tabloid level articles, (first look at his new movie poster, thanking the actress xyz etc), no reliable sourcing found. Kind of peters out in search results after 3 pages to the same stuff that existed last time this was in AfD. Oaktree b (talk) 17:41, 20 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]
- Comment Many reliable sourcing were kept in the article. Further I have added more to it. The Times Of India, International Business Times, Deccan Chronicle, India Today, The Indian Express are the reliable sourcing which are there in the article presently.

Keep Plenty of sourcing provided for notability. El Dubs (talk) 21:27, 20 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Keep Just because Panthrand doesn't have an article doesn't mean anything. In this review, his name is mentioned three times ("Dev Mohan, looks good in this action thriller, but doesn’t strike the chord he did in his debut romantic role in Sufiyum Sujathayum", "Dev Mohan does a good job but fails to create that charm of his first movie"). For those who don't know, he played the lead role (Sufi) in Sufiyum Sujathayum opposite Aditi Rao Hydari (Sujatha), despite Jayasurya being first in the end credits.

Strong Keep : Enough references are kept about the actor. And I have added more references to the page. Dev Mohan was famous with his initial movie Sufiyum Sujatayum itself. [1], [2] [3] He won the best debutant award in South Indian International Movie Awards for that movie[4]. He completed three movies after that. His Telugu debut film, Shaakuntalam is a film based on the world renowned play Abhijnanashakuntalam written by the Indian poet Kalidasa.[5] He plays the lead role, Dushyanta in the movie.[6]. The movie is a big budget film directed by the national award winning director Gunasekhar. The post production works of the movie are going on and the movie will be released soon. He is famous actor by the movies he had did. The movies which are to be released soon are also big budget movies which will have world wide release[7].All people are eagerly awaiting for its release [8][9].

Draftify: The actor has two possible significant roles in two unreleased films that falls under WP:TOO SOON and may notable in the future. Draftifying the content is far better than delete that the author can submit the draft via WP:AFC after the films released. Onmyway22 talk 07:28, 23 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]
- Comment. He has two notable roles in two released films Sufiyum Sujathayum (lead role) and Panthrandu (lead role). Panthrandu has two notable reviews here and here. DareshMohan (talk) 18:28, 23 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]

delete subject lacks significant coverage in reliable sources, the coverage is in tabloids/gossip sites. Only one major role in one notable film, other is cameo, and third one is yet to be released, thus failing notability criteria for actors as well. —usernamekiran (talk) 20:45, 9 August 2022 (UTC)[reply]
- Comment. I think that you haven't gone through the article well. He had done lead role in two films - Sufiyum Sujatayum and Panthrandu. He had completed working in two films whose post production works are going on of which Shakuntalam is a much awaited movie. There are 20 references kept. Many reliable sourcing were kept in the article. Articles of The Times Of India, Deccan Chronicle, India Today, The Indian Express are the reliable sourcing which are there in the article presently.
  - Comment Panthrandu is notable. DareshMohan (talk) 14:29, 10 August 2022 (UTC)[reply]
