Weak Keep: Sourcing is available in English that establish Ashok Kumar (the TV actor) is at least tangentially notable. Among the best of these is the article from The Hindu published in 2012. Another few sources can be found through Google searches, but I encourage using modifying terms that distinguish our Ashok Kumar from the decedent Ashok Kumar, another actor who passed in 2001. Current article contains deficiencies. ~ Pbritti (talk) 23:02, 6 December 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Delete as a BLP with virtually no sourcing. A working actor with credits. Notability of this subject is not asserted or proved by applied sourcing. One of the links appears to be a business card with phone numbers. The only significant coverage is routine industry news from The Hindu and that's almost entirely an interview. It is possible RSs exist on this seasoned TV actor but my reasonable BEFORE doesn't find anything which is better than what is already applied. This is a BLP; we can't just treat a IMDB listing as a model for biography, as it seems to be in this case. BusterD (talk) 01:07, 28 December 2022 (UTC)[reply]
