Appeared in minor roles in a few films. Citations mainly cover her marriage and have no independent coverage outside this topic. Fails NACTOR and GNG. The language used to write the article gives the impression that this is a likely attempt to promote the subject. Thesixserra (talk) 12:52, 30 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]

@Thesixserra Shilpa bala is debutant award winner in her film carrier. Yes, you're right she is not very known for for her films as she is heroine in 3 films only but her contributions to tv shows are notable. As she hosted many famous shows, some of her shows and programs are now updated in her filmography now. Jigar1984 (talk) 01:37, 3 May 2023 (UTC)[reply]

I cannot find any sources that says she is a winner of Film Critics Award. Even if had she won, it is not a major award. She has appeared in four films. All four in some minor roles. Fails NACTOR.

Now let's analyse the sources to verify whether she meets GNG. One of them is just a general routine coverage about Big Boss. She has been mentioned there. Some other sources are about her marriage and wedding anniversary. There is also a source about list of Film Critics Award Winners and her name is not mentioned anywhere. There is also a source from Filmibeat. Filmibeat is blacklisted in wikipedia. So she fails GNG as well. Thesixserra (talk) 03:59, 3 May 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Comment. Being a celebrity by itself could be sufficient to have a Wikipedia article so coverage of Shilpa's wedding, birth of her child etc may count towards GNG/WP:NBASIC if said coverage is in reliable and independent sources. Shilpa has a lot of photographic coverage but many of those I've looked at seem to be self-publicity. Here's one source [1] that appears to be discussing her but the Google translation to English doesn't make a great deal of sense. Shilpa's certainly not publicity shy and seems well known in Kollywood circles. Undecided at the mo but will monitor to see what other contributors turn up.

As an aside, it would be of benefit to put up English translations of the Malayalam language headings in the references. Rupples (talk) 02:36, 7 May 2023 (UTC)[reply]

@Jigar1984: I would really love to know which 3 films do you consider her to have been the heroine. Her filmography mentions 4 films, but I do not even recall her roles in Aagathan or Casanovva. Jupitus Smart 13:55, 14 May 2023 (UTC)[reply]
