It still looks promotional to me. Was deleted per G11 before. Please discuss. Nairspechtive Talk 16:36, 27 August 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Weak delete: My search results have insufficent coverage but he is only mentioned in some RS. KGirlTrucker81^{talk what I'm been doing} 17:58, 27 August 2016 (UTC)[reply]

He? Methinks you didn't search. Methinks you didn't even eyeball the article.--Tomwsulcer (talk) 13:23, 28 August 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Keep: The actress is an award-winning, notable person who has starred in lead roles for mainstream films in several languages. The article is sourced accurately with reliable references. Editor 2050 (talk) 21:05, 27 August 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Keep When an article gets 500+ pageviews per day they have a following. Do I need to check for sources? No. References currently in article already. Meets the GNG.--Tomwsulcer (talk) 22:41, 27 August 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Delete. Ten references look impressive at first—until one follows and reads them. #1 is a short "lifestyle" type blurb that's at least primarily about her, but pretty thin stuff. #2-5 don't mention her, not even in passing. #6 is another brief "lifestyle" type blurb. #7 provides the briefest of passing mentions: "...while Sara Arjun’s Misha is irresistibly cute." Not a thing else about her. I would additionally doubt that it would qualify as terribly reliable. #8 does refer to an "Arjun" without a first name, but says that the individual named Arjun plays some type of auto driver, so I kind of doubt that it's referring to a five year old. It seems to be referring to some other "Arjun". #9 is actually about her, but is also a blurb and also looks to be written anonymously, so probably not terribly reliable for a BLP. And #10, once again, doesn't even mention her, not even in the briefest of passing. Before saying something is supported by reliable sources, always check for ref bombing. That appears to be exactly the case here. Most of the cited references don't even mention her once, and what remains is far too thin for any article, but especially a BLP on a young child.

Comment: Seraphimblade, have you never heard of WP:NEXIST? Thanks and regards, Biwom (talk) 05:07, 28 August 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Comment: I have checked sources 2-5, 8 and 10, and contrary to what you are saying, Sara Arjun is mentioned in these sources:

2. "Sara, the child artist in the film"

3. "it is baby Sara who steals the show"

4. "Baby Sara is charm personified"

5. "Baby Sara is a darling!"

8. "Baby Sara"

10. "This film wouldn't be half the film without the abundant charm and screen presence of Sara who plays Tamil."

I was searching for "Arjun". That's not even entirely certain, as I'm sure there's more than one Sara out there. Regardless, passing references by first name are very trivial mentions, those references certainly are not about her. Trivial mentions and mentions in passing do not contribute to notability, substantial reference material about the subject does. Seraphimblade ^{Talk to me} 06:43, 28 August 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Comment - Just to add some FYI titbits here. She is known as "Baby Sara" because Indian cinema distinguishes between adult and child actors by this prefix ("Master", in case of male). So, while we are searching for existence of substantial reference material, we should go for both "Baby Sara" and "Sara Arjun". Nevertheless, like Serpahimblade mentioned here that the Sara mentioned trivially in these articles could be any Sara. Additionally, searching for news on Google about "Sara Arjun" or "Baby Sara" throws up sources that are much about the films she has played a role in. Of course, those cannot be considered "enough" to generate notability for a BLP. I also think it is technically too early (?) for the kid to have a Wikipedia article. But then again, what do we say about Gaten Matarazzo (he's received great coverage, though)? One more thing, Editor 2050 mentioned here that she has won an award. Can we have a source for that? We can cite WP:ANYBIO then. Best, Nairspechtive Talk 09:07, 28 August 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Comment - two of the many awards in 2011 and 2015 at the Vijay Awards. Editor 2050 (talk) 11:11, 28 August 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Keep obviously. This article is about a very famous Indian child actor. We have multiple sources that tell us she is the highest paid child actor in India: [1], [2], [3]. And we have in-depth coverage in reliable sources, such as [4], [5], [6]. Thanks and regards, Biwom (talk) 09:40, 28 August 2016 (UTC)[reply]
