The result was keep. Although "multiple" has never been defined to my knowledge, in practice "multiple" has been interpreted to mean "at least two". It appears the topic meets this definition. There is no policy that says "more than 3". 78.26 _{(spin me / revolutions)} 19:13, 4 May 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Keep actor name is Imran Abbas as per this Dawn piece and he played lead role in Laaj. As per The Nation story, he acted in Salute (2016 film) as Taliban which I assume some major role. The IMDb entry on actor claims he has acted in few more films but I am unable to locate coverage in RS but I think borderline passes WP:ACTORBIO. --Saqib (talk) 19:21, 12 April 2018 (UTC)[reply]

WP:ACTORBIO reads multiple notable films. M A A Z T A L K 20:00, 16 April 2018 (UTC)[reply]

OK. The subject has acted in at least 3 notable films. (Waar, Salute, and Laaj). 3 = multiple. --Saqib (talk) 04:30, 17 April 2018 (UTC)[reply]

No, I would say a few more than 3 would constitute multiple. And in a recent AfD discussion, [1], you said The article cite only 3. So 3 weren't sufficient then, it shouldn't be now. I don't get this moving the goalpost fallacy. M A A Z T A L K 04:32, 26 April 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Haroon Janjua is not an actor.there are different standards applied to different article topics for establishing notability. --Saqib (talk) 05:15, 26 April 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Keep It's borderline, but multiple means "more than 1" (EDIT: or "more than 2") not "more than 3". --Ahecht (TALK

Uhhhh. I think multiple is more closely defined as several or many. I would put 2 or 3 more like in the few or some category. M A A Z T A L K 05:37, 1 May 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Merriam Webster defines multiple as "consisting of, including, or involving more than one". The OED, however, defines it as "Having or involving several parts", but if you look up the OED definition of several, it is "More than two but not many". In other words, there are definitions that define it as more than 1 or more than 2, but I haven't found any that say more than 3. --Ahecht (TALK

I think, the multiple thing is never specified in Wikipedia guidelines, owing to controversy in opinions. M A A Z T A L K 00:41, 2 May 2018 (UTC)[reply]
