Kunal Kamra[edit]

(Find sources: Google (books · news · scholar · free images · WP refs) · FENS · JSTOR · TWL)

Non-notable individual. Has received minor coverage in news sourcesblogs, zines and tabloids—and even less in literature. This is far from the depth or persistence of coverage demanded by even basic compliance with WP:ANYBIO. Possibly WP:TOOSOON on the assumption his career takes a suitable trajectory...and coverage in WP:RS with it :) —SerialNumber54129^{paranoia /cheap sh*t room} 15:16, 22 May 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Delete The sources linked to are not reliable sources and do not show that his passes notability criteria. Natureium (talk) 15:43, 22 May 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Keep The sources like Livemint The Hindu The Times of India Indian Express are reliable. Person is notable because of his interview series 'Shut up ya Kunal'Accesscrawl (talk) 16:17, 22 May 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Comment. @Accesscrawl, the current article doesn't actually say why the subject is notable. Please expand it to explain that and it may have a chance of not being deleted. Deb (talk) 09:11, 23 May 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Keep. The subject has been covered by reliable sources in depth. Livemint The Hindu Indian Express and many more. Unlike what was said by a user above, the above sources and the ones linked in the article are perfectly reliable. The deletion of a article is not based on its current state, if the subject has been covered in multiple reliable sources, it is considered notable. Pratyush (talk) 14:22, 23 May 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Keep. Coverage in mainstream publications qualifies for WP:IRS and should ensure WP:BIO notability. Shobhit102 | talk 09:46, 27 May 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Delete Fails WP:GNG and WP:NACTOR. Look at each source none of them are indepth about Kunal and are about the show not Kunal:

[1] - is about his show a specific event in Chennai not directly about the subject.
[2] another review about his show
[3] First-ever stand-up clip landed on YouTube a year ago in March 2018 shows he is upcoming
[4] about the show states the Three episodes of Shut Up Ya Kunal went online between July 20 and July 25. 2017
[5] about an interview with Ravish Kumar

1. [6] about his show talks about his third episode
2. [7] this one alone is about the subject 182.65.62.153 (talk) 08:59, 28 May 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Comment. Both the Mint and the Indian Express features are largely about the individual, not only about the show. Shobhit102 | talk 16:55, 29 May 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Delete-We should be looking for independent significant coverage from secondary sources (which should obviously be reliable). Among the sources brought up are:
- [8]- This source doesn't qualify as it is an interview and thus is not independent of the subject.(Whatever is said by the subject is written)
- [9]-Parts of this article do qualify as a independent reliable source.
- [10]-Most of this article is based off an an interview and partially from various social Media posts made by him...Thus this article also cannot be called an independent source.
- [11]- This article is almost entirely reliant on a social media post made by the subject and thus is not independent.

Thus from the above analysis we can conclude that there is only one independent, mostly-reliable source to support the claims of notability of the article subject. This is however not enough and thus I would support deletion of the article based on the grounds of WP:TOOSOON taking into consideration the state of the current coverage. — F R ⁺ 07:04, 6 June 2018 (UTC)[reply]

[12] is surely not an interview. The article has bits of excerts from the subject but it won't be justice to call it an interview. Also based on the length of the article (Indian sources generally don't have such long articles on comics and actors (WP:INDAFD)), the subject passes WP:GNG.

Delete Fails WP:GNG clearly not notable started only in 2017 and 2 brief pieces in The mint and Indian Express is not significant coverage.Normsynge (talk) 10:11, 8 June 2018 (UTC)[reply]

That's quick for a one day old account to participate in AFD discussions and cite notability guidelines. BTW, according to this source, he started in 2013. Pratyush (talk) 14:47, 8 June 2018 (UTC)[reply]

He started in 2013 but only after 2017 that did his videos even get uploaded to Youtube as per thisand his career really began and the show shut Up Ya Kunal start.Normsynge (talk) 15:03, 8 June 2018 (UTC)[reply]
