Fails WP:NACTOR. Trivial unreliable tabloid-style coverage, created by account with pattern of copyvio, and in all likelihood improperly moved from draftspace to mainspace. Etzedek24 ^{(I'll talk at ya) (Check my track record)} 23:53, 2 August 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Keep A Bhojpuri cinema actress with coverage that passes WP:GNG due to these source. [1] [2] [3], Popular for her Item numbers [4], worked in at least 13 films. The majority target audience of Bhojpuri dont read English news, per Language WP:BIAS, the fact that there exists a few sources with detailed coverage, passes the notability test. --DBig Xray 09:59, 6 August 2018 (UTC)[reply]

I have now added 3 of these refs in the article.--DBig Xray 10:12, 6 August 2018 (UTC)[reply]

I didn't provide failing GNG as a deletion rationale, but even so I don't think the provided sources pass GNG, much less the higher standard of NACTOR. I did look at the translated Hindi page (and will again since my laptop isn't translating it) but the other sources are a trivial mention in an awards post (that doesn't inherently provide notability), and a routine casting announcement.

Times of India referring to her as a "well-known actress" doesn't automatically guarantee notability. It's a trivial mention. The only way she even nears WP:NACTOR is if we decide that the interview cited above is reliable (and since we're discouraged from using interviews to establish BLP notability, I'm hinging towards no) under WP:NACTOR #2 (large fan base) or #3 "prolific contributions". The list of films is included at the end of an article that's not even about her, so I don't see it as being verifiable, not to mention the films are likely not notable.

How does "Well Known" equate to "Trivial mention" ? Aren't they on the opposite sides of the notability ? Zee News and times of India are national WP:MAINSTREAM news outlets in India and not tabloids. WP:SIGCOV criteria is met here. --DBig Xrayᗙ 19:58, 23 August 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Sorry if I was not clear .The subject does pass WP:NACTOR #2 and even maybe #1 and agree that WP:SIGCOV is meet by coverage by Zee News and times of India even without coverage from Bhojpuri newspapers.She is described by The Times of India as Bhojpuri cinema's superstar Poonam Dubey and has huge fan following and this states Bhojpuri siren Poonam Dubey celebrates 10 million views of Chana Jor Garam .Please note Bhojpuri is not Hindi and Bhojpuri Cinema is much smaller compared to Hindi cinema.Pharaoh of the Wizards (talk) 20:22, 23 August 2018 (UTC)[reply]
