Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Neel Sethi

The following discussion is an archived debate of the proposed deletion of the article below. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made on the appropriate discussion page (such as the article's talk page or in a deletion review). No further edits should be made to this page.

The result was redirect to The Jungle Book (2016 film). A selective merge should be performed. The majority consensus of the discussion below is that this actor has received substantial coverage due to his leading role in The Jungle Book, but he has not achieved notability beyond WP:BLP1E and WP:NACTOR yet. Re-creation of article is possible if he receives substantial coverage in connection to another film or cause in the future. Der yck C. 13:15, 20 May 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Does not fulfill WP:NACTOR. Fastester (talk) 10:02, 26 April 2016 (UTC)[reply]

This guideline (WP:NACTOR) seems very not clear. How many "significant roles"? How many notable films etc. is "multiple notable films etc."? How many people make a "large fan base"? Are these requirements all needed or only one of them? --SuperJew (talk) 19:57, 26 April 2016 (UTC)[reply]

I think it is clear enough in this case that one film is not "multiple films". Of course if you want the WP:NACTOR to be changed to mention a certain number of films, you can discuss that on its talk page.--Fastester (talk) 18:14, 27 April 2016 (UTC)[reply]

And are these requirements all needed or only one of them? I just find it ridiculous to base a decision on such a vague guideline. --SuperJew (talk) 20:24, 27 April 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Comment This movie is no doubt going to be huge. If you do a small Google Search on the News he is all over the place. If this gets deleted now it will just come back sooner or later anyways. I have added some sources. That is my 2 cents anyways! --TheDomain (talk) 21:37, 26 April 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Comment I feel that this actor is notable enough to have an article. --mpen320 (hit me up) 0:04, 27 April 2016.

Delete. WP:NACTOR isn't being met here. As for significant coverage in multiple sources? The article doesn't give us anything of the sort (all we are really told about the subject himself is that he did his own stunts and studied some martial arts).

Delete for now at best as there's simply nothing else better to suggest the necessary notability improvements. SwisterTwister talk 05:17, 2 May 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Strong Keep I feel this actor is notable enough to have an article. This is a blockbuster movie, and he is the ONLY actor in it. [[1]] Preetikapoor0 (talk) 16:41, 3 May 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Comment: He is the only actor appearing. There are other (and very prestigious too) voice actors in the film. --SuperJew (talk) 17:16, 3 May 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Keep Although he has starred in only one movie, it's a significant recognition on the account of a huge blockbluster film. Passes WP:NOT in my opinion. Coderzombie (talk) 13:38, 4 May 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Delete: As said, it does not meet WP:NACTOR. Also the article is quite short, and currently, there is nothing more that can be done to expand it, either.--Babar Suhail (talk) 19:12, 4 May 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.

Keep it may be a stub article that needs some more expansion and cites, but the movie is big enough to warrant an article for the lead actor in the film. It may be his first major motion picture, but the popularity of the film, as well as numerous articles that mention him, fulfill WP:NACTOR. - SanAnMan (talk) 18:41, 5 May 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Keep or merge to The Jungle Book (2016 film). Failing WP:NACTOR doesn't mean the subject is non-notable, because NACTOR is intended to be a complementary standard to WP:GNG and only indicates that a subject is likely to be notable. People who fail NACTOR can still be notable if they pass the GNG. While this person has only appeared in one film, that role is a prominent one in a major blockbuster and he has got quite a lot of media coverage as a result. It isn't hard to find plenty of news articles that are mainly about the subject, some of which are cited. The only question is as to whether this material should be in the article about the film until he gets another significant film role, but that can be decided at editorial discretion.

Merge The Jungle Book has earned him enough attention to be mentioned in it's article but there is nothing more that can be done for him to have his own article. NikolaiHo 19:52, 8 May 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Redirect to The Jungle Book. At the moment fails WP:ACTOR; article can be recreated if he has a further career.TheLongTone (talk) 13:12, 10 May 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Redirect - simply WP:TOOSOON at this point. Doesn't meet WP:NACTOR, and the current coverage would all fall under WP:BLP1E. If coverage becomes lasting, at that point an article would be warranted. Onel5969 ^{TT me} 12:47, 16 May 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Merge/Redirect as per the above, given that following the spirit of the rules if not the letter seem to indicate that it's just 'too soon' for him to have his own page CoffeeWithMarkets (talk) 22:54, 18 May 2016 (UTC)[reply]
