Manya (actress)[edit]

(Find sources: Google (books · news · scholar · free images · WP refs) · FENS · JSTOR · TWL)

This article is a WP:BLP nightmare. The subject is an Indian actress of marginal notability who by now lives in the US and works outside the movie industry. Sources for her post-acting career rank somewhere between "scarce" and "do not exist", with the best we have a 2011 article by the community college at which she studied at that time. Manyabjp, who says she's Manya herself, disputed several key claims in the article; see Talk:Manya (actress) for details. She also seems to be unhappy with the article mentioning a well-sourced past marriage that by now may have ended in divorce. In fact, that marriage was the occasion of virtually all media coverage currently cited in the article.

Given the extreme scarcity of reliable sources, the resultant weak claims to notability, the presumed desires of the subject herself (who once blanked all biographical content), and the BLP issues, we're better off without an article about Manya. Huon (talk) 22:04, 16 August 2014 (UTC)[reply]

This artical should be deleted from WP as most of the information is unreliable and hypothetical. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2604:2000:1481:603d:6010:7b5:aa8f:de87 (talk • contribs) 00:42, August 21, 2014‎ (UTC)

Keep Notable enough. Preetikapoor0 (talk) 02:15, 27 August 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Comment: - @Preetikapoor0: - WP:Clearly notable isn't a valid reason to keep. –Davey2010 • (talk) 03:05, 27 August 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Keep Verifiable sources exist that establishes notability of the subject. From the sources, it is easily verifiable that she acted in leading roles in several films. Personal life details may be softened, as requested by the person. But the article should not be deleted.--Dwaipayan (talk) 18:48, 8 September 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Keep Slightly problematic article, and finding sources in English may be hard, but she was a leading actress in multiple top-10 Malayalam-language films over nearly a decade, which easily establishes her notability. —innotata 00:08, 16 September 2014 (UTC)[reply]
