Comment The English language references don't seem to qualify as reliable sources that cover the subject in some depth. However, before !voting to delete, I'd like to know if references in Hindi exist to establish notability. Pichpich (talk) 20:54, 23 April 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Actually, and as the comment ends with "Hey thanks every one & Special thanks to Admin to "KEEP" this article . this Artical is realy importernt for us as indian television viewers . it is our humbele request to close this discussion. Regards to every one", that misplaced comment on the talk page should be interpreted here as a poorly spelled and formated Keep by someone who does not understand our rules.

Delete There is a pretty much deleted article at Wikipedia article:https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aakash_Pandey(Actor). After seeing his article: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aakash_Pandey is going to be deleted. He has created new article page: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aakash_Pandey(Actor). which was deleted 21:22, 23 April 2015 Chrislk02 (talk | contribs) deleted page Aakash Pandey(Actor) (A10: Recently created article that duplicates an existing topic, Aakash Pandey)... It is now, probably, too late to add that to this discussion, so I have no idea what to do about it.David 18:51, 4 May 2015 (UTC) David (or — ManishSrivastava1 (talk • contribs) has made few or no other edits outside this topic. ) (see his edits)[reply]

Well, you've already brought forward that an inexperienced new editor (with 30-lifetime-edits ever) contributed a duplicate new article which was subsequently and properly speedied under WP:A10. That noob error on his part does not affect consideration of this topic meeting WP:NACTOR. But thanks for pointing out the noob's error. Schmidt, ^{Michael Q.} 12:09, 16 May 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Delete Subject has played minor and supporting roles in various films and TV shows, but fails WP:NACTOR and WP:GNG. Mentioned only in passing in cited media articles (which themselves are mostly second-tier sources), eg [2], [3] and I couldn't locate anything more comprehensive.

WP:INDAFD: Aakash Pandey Akash Pandey

Keep per meeting WP:BIO through WP:NACTOR. Even if not considering his screenwriting or assistant director gigs, like most actors he began with minor roles... but his career has built and he now receiving the media attention and significant roles he did not get some 5 - 10 years ago. Verifiable as recurring named character Khabri Tiwari for two years on Bhagonwali-Baante Apni Taqdeer, for four years as named character Radhey on Hitler Didi, as named character Vicky Nayak on P Se PM Tak, as named character Guru Ji on Bhaiyyaji Superhitt, and as named character Sutradha on Bangistan (to name but a few) convince. Schmidt, ^{Michael Q.} 12:01, 16 May 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Note @I dream of horses: That which you first nominated has been improved. I believe WP:BIO through WP:NACTOR is shown as met. Opinion? Thoughts? Pichpich? ManishSrivastava1? Abecedare? Schmidt, ^{Michael Q.} 14:50, 17 May 2015 (UTC)[reply]

@MichaelQSchmidt:, The article is certainly well-written and well formatted, but I still don't find any non-trivial coverage of the subject at all. For example, here is an exhaustive account of what the sources listed in the article say about him:

"It's B'day time for Parmeet Sethi, Dayanand Shetty, Hrishikesh Pandey and Akash Pandey"
"Akash Pandey too is acting in several serials" (trans. from article on Bhartendu Academy of Dramatic Arts)
[9 other documentaries produced by the students]..."and 'Marnoparant' by Akash Pandey drew much applause."
"Other than this Akshay Dogra and Abhaas Mehta are also part of the show."
Name mentioned in cast list of P Se PM Tak
Name mentioned in cast list of Bangistan
Name mentioned in cast list of Bangistan
"Aakash Pandey and Bruna Abdullah plays various roles."

Apart from this there is a wikipedia article used as source, a user generated list of actors from UP, a profile of his great-grandfather on a poetry site that does not mention the subject, and a profile on a movie database website that is almost surely submitted by the actor, and a search result on another movie database site. These are all the listed references in the article, and I didn't find anything more comprehensive on a web-search either.

So I don't see how the subject meets WP:GNG or WP:NACTOR. For the latter I would expect at least some discussion about his acting or the roles he played to establish either's significance. Abecedare (talk) 17:01, 17 May 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Like Abecedare, I'm not seeing any coverage of significant depth in the present sources. Pichpich (talk) 17:08, 17 May 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Verification of meeting an aspect of WP:NACTOR does not also demand a meeting of WP:GNG. Those two guides are mutually supportive, not exclusionary. If SNGs wre intended to over-ruled the GNG, then all the SNGs should be themselves deleted or rendered historic. Toss out all SNGs and I could then agree with a deletion.

So thank you for your comments, but as we have verification and no policy violation, I think it best to wait for input from Hindi-reading Wikipedians, rather than toss over a misinterpretations of SNG intent or our own weakness in not being Hindi-reading. Thanks, Schmidt, ^{Michael Q.} 00:16, 18 May 2015 (UTC)[reply]

WP:NACTOR requires "Has had significant roles", and I said above the subject does not meet that requirement IMO. Btw, I can read Hindi (and Devanagari in general). How else did you think I read and translated from Navbharat Times in the list above, or commented upon the www.kavitakosh.org link ? Abecedare (talk) 01:01, 18 May 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Yes... and recurring as a named character (rather than a descriptive) shows a significance to storyline, plot, or production. Lacking policy violations and verifiable as recurring named character Khabri Tiwari for two years on Bhagonwali-Baante Apni Taqdeer, for four years as named character Radhey on Hitler Didi, as named character Vicky Nayak on P Se PM Tak, as named character Guru Ji on Bhaiyyaji Superhitt, and as named character Sutradha on Bangistan (to name but a few) convince me that WP:NACTOR is met. "Verification" for an SNG is clarified at WP:GNGACTOR... and so (to me at least)...Find sources: Google (books · news · scholar · free images · WP refs) · FENS · JSTOR · TWL and Find sources: Google (books · news · scholar · free images · WP refs) · FENS · JSTOR · TWL) and WP:INDAFD's Aakash Pandey Akash Pandey perhaps encourage that it's time for digging away from what the article currently offers as sources.

Delete: does not qualify as WP:NACTOR. Quis separabit? 21:49, 25 May 2015 (UTC)[reply]
Delete, a handful of minor roles, but doesn't come close to WP:NACTOR in my view. I'm sympathetic to the argument that it's usually harder to find written information on Indian topics than Western ones, but when it's a BLP we're talking about, caution is called for.
