This actor has played second-fiddle in many movies. However, I couldn't find any sources about this actor. Created by a paid/blocked user. TamilMirchi (talk) 04:51, 8 September 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Keep - sources seem fine / plenty exist online and in the article itself. "Second-fiddle" is an unnecessary term - almost all his films have had him in the lead/parallel lead role as per sources. Worth noting that the nominator has put several articles up for deletion with inadequate research in a short period of time. Neutral Fan (talk) 20:50, 8 September 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Comment Regarding the sources, several of the films simply mention his name and one source is a primary source in which the person is directly interviewed.TamilMirchi (talk) 20:54, 8 September 2020 (UTC)[reply]
- Just wondering if you are illiterate in Tamil? Several times you've missed sources which already exist in the article. This whole article is about him [1], mostly about him here [2], here there are direct quotes [3] etc. What do you need - where are you basing your rules on? It doesn't seem consistent at all.

  - Please no personal attacks. Just stating my rationale and wondering if more sources exist or not.TamilMirchi (talk) 21:04, 8 September 2020 (UTC)[reply]
    - It was a genuine question. A second source was there - but you ignored it. Like you've done for several of the nominations when stating "one source exists". Neutral Fan (talk) 21:06, 8 September 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.

Delete As per nom. Minor roles in the movies are not justified WP:NACTOR. Priyanjali singh (talk) 09:21, 15 September 2020 (UTC)[reply]
- Comment - all four roles are lead roles. No roles are minor. The nominator carelessly uses terms to suit his prejudice. Neutral Fan (talk) 09:27, 15 September 2020 (UTC)[reply]
  - Comment - It was my mistake. He played one of the leads in all of his film.TamilMirchi (talk) 16:25, 15 September 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Delete over concerns regarding WP:NACTOR. If the actor is indeed notable as a lead then there should have been more in-depth coverage of him. Doesn't appear to be the case here. Sunshine1191 (talk) 17:30, 21 September 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Delete: Article fails GNG, BASIC and NACTOR. Sources are mentions, nothing that covers the subject directly and indepth. // Timothy :: talk 18:57, 22 September 2020 (UTC)[reply]
