Keep per significant coverage in reliable sources. With no last name it's a bit more difficult, but can be done: [1], [2], [3], [4], [5], [6], [7]. Jfire (talk) 04:08, 24 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks to Abecedare for sorting out the confusion. Neutral on the question of this other Tara's notability. Google results are nigh on impossible to distinguish from other Taras, and given the length of her career, the most likely sources are probably print.

Comment The current article mixes up the biographies of (at least) two actresses: The Assamese actress who was born in 1944 (IMDB) who may or may not be notable; and the much younger Kannada actress who won the National Film Award in 2004 and is definitely notable (listed as Thaara on IMDB, although I guess that is a misspelling and an grossly incomplete entry). So we need to figure out which person we are talking about before !voting keep/delete. Abecedare (talk) 06:33, 24 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Keep: This article seems to be on the Assamese actress whose imdb id is 2719616. User:Jfire screwed it up by pasting info on the Kannada actress (National Award winning) to establish notability. The Assamese actress Tara can also be considered notable as one of the movies she acted in Halodhia Choraye Baodhan Khai was the national award winning movie (best film) in 1988.--GDibyendu (talk) 12:47, 24 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for the explanation, GDibyendu. I have created a new article Tara (Kannada actress) and moved the fruits of Jfire's research there; and added the bit about Halodhia Choraye Baodhan Khai to the Tara (actress) article. Don't know if that is sufficient, but hopefully someone will find more information before the AFD closes. I have flagged the article for rescue, since this is a undercovered area on wikipedia.

Keep: No doubt notable. The actress acted in some award winning films like -Sandhyarag (Rajat Kamal award, 1978, Cannes Film Festival), Dr. Bezbarua (National award winner (Regional category)), Ronga police (Presidential silver honorary award), Mak aru Morom (Certified film of merit), Aranya (National award winner (Regional category)), Sakuntala (Presidential silver honorary award), Kolahol (Movie screened in Indian panorama) See this link for verification--Footage (talk) 10:18, 26 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]
