Delete: Hits seem to be only about the film with the same name, nothing found for a person. Oaktree b (talk) 13:17, 29 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Keep. Terrible article, but I should have thought that anyone who was deemed notable enough to have both a biopic and a 13-part biographical TV series made about them was notable enough for an article on Wikipedia. -- Necrothesp (talk) 14:45, 29 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Keep. I've given the depictions a minor rewrite, and added a couple of sources on the 1986 film and 1990 TV series based on Palay Khan (just to prove that those depictions of him which allow him to qualify as 'notable' exist). I will admit that I am struggling to find a source on the man himself (best I've found so far was https://pashtunhistory.com/palay-shah-khosti/, but it seems a little bit too WP:SPS to cite in the article), but there might be some half-decent non-english sources out there. 🔥HOTm̵̟͆e̷̜̓s̵̼̊s̸̜̃🔥 (talk・edits) 17:43, 13 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]
