Fails WP:NMUSIC. Maybe an aspiring actor and musician but his bio as it stands does not fulfill a single criterion of either WP:NACTOR or WP:NMUSIC. Bio is also not backed by a single unaffiliated source. — kashmiri TALK 23:26, 8 June 2017 (UTC)[reply]

  •  Comment: To pass NACTOR, he would need major roles in multiple notable films. Having mosts downloads for two weeks does not make someone eligible for an encylopaedia article, either. — kashmiri TALK 16:00, 14 June 2017 (UTC)[reply]
He played the main lead in those films. GSS (talk|c|em) 16:18, 14 June 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Recieved significant coverage here in Punjabi Tribune a sister project of The Tribune (Chandigarh). A Google search for ਸ਼ੈਰੀ ਮਾਨ and शैरी मान gets me a good number of hits, some of which seem pretty reliable. GSS (talk|c|em) 16:52, 14 June 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Ok, thanks. Will take a look over the weekend. — kashmiri TALK 17:19, 14 June 2017 (UTC)[reply]

  • Comment: Sharry Mann is actually a popular Punjabi singer, e.g. one of his songs has received over 100 million views. But popularity & WP notability are two different things.
As already mentioned by GSS, he played lead role in two movies – Oye Hoye Pyar Ho Gaya [1][2] & Ishq Garaari [3] [4] [5]. The Punjabi Tribune's article provided by GSS sums up his life/career. This Hindi article of Dainik Jagran also gives details of his early life/career. There are other articles in national newspapers which give relevant details of his career, e.g. [6], [7], [8], [9], [10], [11], [12], etc. I guess there are enough sources here to reliably source his article. In fact, as shown by GSS, it is also clear that he has received healthy coverage in Punjabi media, although I can't read Punjabi. - NitinMlk (talk) 20:22, 16 June 2017 (UTC)[reply]

  • Keep: Meets WP:GNG and WP:NACTOR. As shown above, his acting roles have received coverage from national media as has his musical work. For additional coverage check here. --Skr15081997 (talk) 12:10, 29 June 2017 (UTC)[reply]
