I'm having difficulty with this probable autobiography. The media mentions exist, yes, but they seem to verify the existence of the books, not in any particular manner the notability of the author, who seems to have created this article as a vehicle for self promotion. I considered CSD as spam but, in view of the particular nature of Indian media coverage, chose the AfD route for a full discussion and consensus.

The gentleman seems to be on the border of notability, but on the wrong side. I view this article as ~~an article variant of WP:NOTYET~~WP:TOOSOON and failing WP:GNG. It should be deleted without prejudice to future re-creation once he is genuinely notable. I will not suggest userfication since the creating editor appears to be the gentleman concerned (0.9 probability). Fiddle Faddle 10:18, 14 September 2013 (UTC)[reply]

I think you're looking for WP:TOOSOON. Yes? Stalwart111 10:44, 14 September 2013 (UTC) [reply]

I am grateful to my learned friend, and have made the correction. Fiddle Faddle 10:51, 14 September 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Keep Given the usual difficulties of finding sources for Indian authors (see WP:INDAFD "Books") this author by comparison has many sources and would pass WP:AUTHOR #3, multiple reviews. There are also biographical sources. -- Green Cardamom (talk) 16:31, 14 September 2013 (UTC)[reply]
weak Keep There seem to be sufficient reviews for notability as an actor, cunsidering the cultural bias of finding mater, as GreenC explains above.— Preceding unsigned comment added by DGG (talk • contribs) 04:32, 16 September 2013 (UTC)[reply]
