I came across this article today from Marathi wikipedia, where it was created in the form of promotion. Upon a search on internet, and after going through the sources provided in the article, I found out the actor has played only trivial roles.

Despite the Wikipedia article stating the actor has played lead roles, it can't be corroborated. For example, the article says he has a lead role in Aap Ke Aa Jane Se. But he is listed under recurring in Aap Ke Aa Jane Se#Cast.

Rest of the credits are from episodic appearances.

All the sources I could find are puff pieces, interviews, or non reliable sources.

Given the actor does not have multiple significant roles in films/TV shows, he fails notability criteria for actors. The sources covering the actor, even though a lot of sources, are tabloid like gossip sites, interviews, or puff pieces. Because of the lack of significant coverage in reliable sources, the actor fails general notability guidelines as well. —usernamekiran (talk) 13:26, 9 October 2022 (UTC)

• Delete After seeing the page and after reading all their news articles, it comes to know that Ashish did not do any work as a lead, so it is not a notable person, whatever work he has done as a side in a movie or web series. Do small roles and every such movie has many actors but all of them may not be notable.Lionfox0909 (talk) 16:39, 22 October 2022 (UTC)
