A model. Claim to fame is that she was onBigg Boss (season 4) and did some film cameos. I can find plenty of blogs discussing who she is dating. I can find refs about her Bigg Boss adventure, but not much else. Prod was contested for "give it some time to grow". Bgwhite (talk) 07:35, 28 May 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Weak keep. It seems that every single person who has ever been on Bigg Boss has an article of his/her own and it would certainly be peculiar to make one particular individual's article into a redirect. I have to agree with the nominator, though, that the existing English-language evidence of notability is very scanty (but then so is the evidence for a few other contestants). BTW, one peculiar thing is that she seems to be missing from the Bigg Boss directory at the bottom of the page. This sent me on a wild goose chase looking for evidence that she had actually been on the programme. Ubelowme (talk) 21:28, 4 June 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Weak keep As opposed to this being a WP:BLP1E, we do have an additional assertion toward notability is her work as a fashion model. Apun Ka Choice calls her a "celebrated model".[1] Times of India seems to think that her shopping for lace is newsworthy,[2] and also reports her involvement in "fashion week",[3] as does Daily Mirror.[4] So it can be seen that she does recieve attention for more than just Bigg Boss.

Two of your "refs" have her shown in a photo and the other briefly mentions her. That hardly meets significant coverage. Bgwhite (talk) 05:16, 13 June 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Perhaps you somehow misread what I wrote above? They were offered per policy to show this is not a BLP1E, and not as examples of SIGCOV. Different issues. Schmidt, ^{MICHAEL Q.} 05:59, 14 June 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Delete Has no press coverage (only blogs about stars and celebrities), and as mentioned above, only her shopping seems newsworthy to a very few. Shoudn't give her the attention she doesn't have in the first place. Rubyface (talk) 8:55, 11 June 2012 (UTC)
Weak Keep - I think her Bigg Boss appearance and relationships were famous personalities like Yuvraj Singh, Rahul Bhatt should suffice for a keep. -Abhishikt (talk) 04:47, 13 June 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Comment Last time I checked, nobility is not inherited. Bgwhite (talk) 05:16, 13 June 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Just want to say that she won the Gladrags Mega Model contest in 1999 which was one of the biggest modelling contests in it's time. Plus she regularly walks the ramp for renowned fashion designers at popular fashion shows. If you do remove this page then I think you also should surely consider removing the page of Carol Gracias for that matter.All she has is a Bigg Boss appearance and a wardrobe malfunction, Aanchal is definitely more renowned then her. And also check her fellow Bigg Boss housemate Mandeep Bevli's page for that matter. Forget being famous there is hardly any sense in that page.We can all safely say that there is no set definition of being famous enough to be awarded a page in wiki but I am sure if one of the top indian newspaper The Times of India finds her buying a lacy wardrobe newsworthy she does have some amount of reputation.

Delete as an apparent WP:BLP1E (if you could even call it that) which lacks non-trivial coverage in reliable third party sources. coccyx bloccyx_(toccyx) 01:31, 17 June 2012 (UTC)[reply]

This is just 11 names out of a list of 1000s which I can present to you,but lets just talk about these eleven for now.Why don't these come under WP:BLP1E?Boseritwik (talk) 14:02, 17 June 2012 (UTC)[reply]

WP:OTHERSTUFF is irrelevant; the "What about X?" argument is one to avoid. - The Bushranger _{One ping only} 22:32, 18 June 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Weak Keep, M.Q.Schmidt analysis sounds quite convincing. Cavarrone (talk) 19:53, 19 June 2012 (UTC)[reply]
I can't see this meets the threshold we expect for a BLP. Bigg Boss aside the claims to notability are fairly trivial and don't appear to have generated much press comment. There is a long standing consensus that reality show participants are not accorded individual articles unless there is a lot of ongoing coverage and this clearly isn't the case so we are essentially left with a subject lacking sources and only minor claims to notability that don't aggregate to meeting N.
