Article was previously deleted and salted at Sanket Mhatre/Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Sanket Mhatre and was recreated by a sock. * Pppery * _{it has begun...} 15:53, 12 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Weak keep - I'm skeptical of many of these sources but the Economic Times writeup is quite in-depth, and describes him voicing the title characters in Hindi dubs of works including Deadpool, The Martian, and the Bourne films, as well as several well-known Tamil and Bollywood films.

Delete: This is an interview [1] I don't see anything else. I don't see enough sourcing in RS to keep the article. Oaktree b (talk) 23:05, 12 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Keep The Times of India [2] says Sanket Mhatre, who is one of the most sought-after dubbing artistes for films from Tamil, Telugu, and Hollywood industry. Sounds notable to me. And he did the voice for the main character in a notable television series. Dream Focus 08:23, 14 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Given that The Times of India is known to accept payments in return for positive coverage I don't think you can trust any puffery it heaps on someone. * Pppery * _{it has begun...} 19:30, 15 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Whoops! I just checked and that is not a reliable source. Dream Focus 19:51, 15 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

KEEP per this, this, this. This interview by IGN India, this by Cinema Express, and this by Cine Blitz give some weight of notability. He has been interviewed by several media. --Twinkle1990 (talk) 14:08, 16 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Keep Twinkle1990 has found coverage providing the general notability guidelines have been met. Dream Focus 17:56, 16 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Delete: The article lacks sufficient reliable sources to meet notability's standards. The Times of India is not reliable.Southati (talk) 13:13, 17 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.

Delete. Our subject does not meet the notability criteria set down by WP:GNG and WP:ARTIST.

Forensics on sources: We have an extensive list of voice actors, which name-drops our subject; this article about something else, titled "How dubbed versions of Hollywood hits are churning out heroes," in which, again, the name of our subject is mentioned; a promotional piece on a commercial website that uses our subject in its video games; a couple of interviews, here and there, which, per se, do not support notability; more irrelevancies, such as this; and so on. The fact that the article has been created by an account indefinitely blocked for using multiple odious socks does not help. -The Gnome (talk) 15:10, 24 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Delete and salt Sources which aren't trivial, like all the interviews listed by Twinkle1990, are not WP:IS. Sanket Mhatre is already salted after being recreated more than half a dozen times. Sanket Mhatre (voice actor) and all combinations of such title, including Sanket Mhatre (Voice Actor) need to be salted. Clear case of gaming wikipedia for promotional purposes. — hako9 (talk) 02:45, 27 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]
The term for that is "title blacklisting". Sanket Mhatre (Voice Actor), by the way, is already salted, as is Sanket Mhatre (actor). I'm not quite convinced that title blacklisting is necessary, although we're very very close to that line. * Pppery * _{it has begun...} 03:20, 27 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]
