A poorly constructed article that fails both Wikipedia:GNG and Wikipedia:NACTOR. The said actor's only major and notable acting credit is his supporting role in the long-running Indian soap opera Yeh Rishta Kya Kehlata Hai. All of the other listed credits, trivial by nature, are completely unsourced. This article was also listed as one needing major improvements to meet Wiki standards before it was removed not very long ago, without the issues being resolved. To sum it up, a single noteworthy acting credit hardly warrants a stand-off article. Sunshine1191 (talk) 17:39, 29 August 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Delete: The article is of very poor quality and the subject doesn't seem to have any significant acting credits that have been sourced. Also, of the two references provided in the article, neither is certified as reliable by Wikipedia which basically renders their existence moot. Another quiet amusing problem with this article is how the information present contradicts itself. The lead states that the said actor is supposed to be 53 years of age (which is unsourced btw) but this article has been included in the category of 1947 births, ie: 73 years. This clearly indicates that the article is mainly a compilation of a bucket-load of unsourced original research which makes it harder to verify. Thus, deleting looks like the best course of action.
