Certainly time for another AfD since 2008 considering Wikipedia has changed since then and I believe I myself would've frankly suggested delete at the first AfD, as my searches have found only happenstance coverage at News, browsers, Highbeam and WP:INDAFD, nothing actually suggesting any better solid notability for Wikipedia aside from the usual expected Indian gossip news. For convenience, I'm notifying the only still active 1st AfDers Stifle and MichaelQSchmidt to let them know about this new AfD. SwisterTwister talk 23:19, 25 May 2016 (UTC)[reply]

WP:INDAFD: Nischal child Nischal Nishal Chandra Master Nishal

In October 2008 - No consensus

In November 2008 - keep

Keep and re-title Nishal Chandra as the fellow has coverage under his full adult name [1][2][3] even if not so much as a child actor,[4][5] when his adult issues receive coverage. Since a person may leave acting and pursue a regular life, we need not continue judging him only as a prolific child actor under WP:ENT and can add WP:BASIC into the consideration pool. Needs work, not deletion because it has not been improved. WP:NTEMP anyone? Schmidt, ^{Michael Q.} 00:08, 26 May 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Delete. MichaelQSchmidt's search has found only primary sources, such as news reports about his latest activities, and primary sources don't count toward notability. We need secondary sources! It's one thing to assume that there aren't any secondary sources (no retrospective coverage in news media, no appearances in books, academic journals, etc.), because that can easily be disproven with a little work, but MichaelQSchmidt has done the searching and shown that these don't exist.

Comment expecting academic journal coverage is raising the bar too high for non- academic subjects. Atlantic306 (talk) 04:07, 26 May 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Delete: This ancient article has been surviving off of a single reference. Unless this article can be repaired in a timely fashion that proves that the subject matter is notable and the subject of significant coverage, I see no reason why it should remain up any longer.

Delete for the reasons given by myself in the last AFD. Still no proper sourcing. If kept, rename to Nishal Chandra. Stifle (talk) 14:24, 26 May 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.

Delete Coverage seems to have been really driven by much more notable first wife, notability is not inherited.John Pack Lambert (talk) 02:09, 7 June 2016 (UTC)[reply]
