Comment The actor certainly meets the relevant notability guidelines, and it's a pity that this biography is completely unreferenced. For now I don't want to drop in random references from googling just to "save" this AFD, so I'll leave a note at WT:ICTF where editors will be more familiar with reliable sources for Bollywood related articles, and should be able to reference/improve it.

Speedy Keep: Whoosh, nothing surprises me in Wikipedia anymore. Such a notable actor and show host. One could easily save it doing a simple search. User:Abecedare, since you are attempting to find sources, please see these (this direct link may not work in Internet Explorer). --Tito☸Dutta 17:59, 2 September 2013 (UTC)[reply]
- Sorry, I don't know the guy. But what I did see was a bad article without any sources and I responed on that. The Banner talk 18:53, 2 September 2013 (UTC)[reply]

I have added 6 references. --Tito☸Dutta 18:28, 2 September 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Speedy keep Obviously. Lots of references available in the web. I doubt whether the nominator, User:The Banner, even cared to do a cursory search before nominating. You don't have to know the guy, you just have to do some google search to begin with.--Dwaipayan (talk) 18:26, 3 September 2013 (UTC)[reply]
- Such a search is not mandatory. In fact, while removing 6 links to disambiguation pages I noticed how bad and how completely unsourced the article was. The Banner talk 19:55, 3 September 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Keep, now that at least a few refs have been added and close the nom early. The article can still be improved and better referenced but that is not the purpose of AFD per se, and can be achieved through regular editing. Abecedare (talk) 19:03, 3 September 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Comment: Its utter waste of time of editors to keep discussing on this AfD. I am hence closing it. Come up with any weirdest logic and this article can never be deleted. Requesting nominator to do some cursory Google searches before AfDing articles when the article clearly has a 50+ filmography, 3 awards, link to IMDb, etc. Necessary sourcing is now done. Although one must note that sources should be present but not necessarily available at the bottom of every article. §§Dharmadhyaksha§§ {T/C} 06:43, 4 September 2013 (UTC)[reply]
