The result was keep. Consensus is keep, but not by a wide margin. Notability is not relational. Consensus is that NACTOR is met and that GNG is met through some of the available, unchallenged sources. 78.26 _{(spin me / revolutions)} 16:19, 3 March 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Unknown father of a popular singer. Notability is not established. This actor needs sources as to why he is notable. This article is a blatant promotion of Anirudh's father. DragoMynaa (talk) 06:44, 8 February 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Keep: True, the subject owes some of his notability to his son, but I feel he probably deserves an article based on his own career, too. He's played many supporting roles in notable films, so I feel he would just get through under WP:NACTOR. He is also mentioned/discussed in various articles from the following news outlets: Sify, The Hans India, The Hindu, The Indian Express, and more. There doesn't seem to be a consensus on the reliability of these sources, however, so I would welcome feedback from others and will update my vote if necessary.

The Hindu, Hans India and New Indian Express are reliable sources but i'm not sure about sify, imv Atlantic306 (talk) 20:01, 16 February 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Delete Definitely fails WP:GNG and breaches WP:NPOV. I agree per nom that the person is not notable compared to his son Anirudh. Abishe (talk) 15:43, 24 February 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Abishe, it shouldn't matter whether the subject is notable when compared to his son, but rather whether he is notable as per the notability standards. If you believe he fails WP:GNG, that is fair enough, but being less notable than his son isn't relevant to the policy, as I understand it. Also, a breach of WP:NPOV can be addressed without deleting the entire article. Dflaw4 (talk) 04:36, 25 February 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Keep as he has some prominent roles in notable films such as being credited 2nd and third in the credits and therefore has claims to pass WP:NACTOR criteria 1, imv Atlantic306 (talk) 23:24, 1 March 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Keep. Passes criteria 1 of WP:NACTOR.4meter4 (talk) 00:33, 3 March 2020 (UTC)[reply]
