Fails WP:GNG, WP:NBIO, WP:NACTOR (with only one significant role in a notable film). The available sources are all tabloid coverage under WP:SBST and/or of questionable reliability under WP:NEWSORGINDIA. Repeatedly recreated by UPE/COI editors. Dclemens1971 (talk) 14:36, 9 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

He seems to have more than one significant role in notable productions. Significant does not mean "lead" role only. Did you have his role in Evvarikee Cheppoddu in mind? His role in Badrinath could be considered significant too; and at least a couple of other roles. -My, oh my! (Mushy Yank) 22:38, 9 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Delete per nom; no evidence of notability. OhNoitsJamie Talk 18:58, 9 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Keep, passes WP:NACTOR. Just go to Baahubali 2: The Conclusion and ctrl-f his character Sethupathi. He has played negative roles (in films such as Badrinath) which may have garnered more recognition than Evvarikee Cheppoddu.[1] DareshMohan (talk) 15:52, 10 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep: per DareshMohan. Multiple significant roles in notable productions. -My, oh my! (Mushy Yank) 22:15, 10 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete or Draftify. The subject's whole career is from unreliable source 123Telugu.com. If you take out everything from the career that is solely from unreliable source, nothing is left. 2 other unreliable sources are Indiaglitz and idlebrain. TimesofIndia source WP:NEWSORGINDIA is also just an interview for WP:PROMO of upcoming film. Fails WP:SIGCOV on the subject's career to consider a standalone notable page but also opting for draftify if the page can be improved with significant coverage with reliable secondary independent sources. Page also fails WP:NBIO. RangersRus (talk) 15:29, 11 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Note.

Delete: None of the sources currently cited could be called significant coverages, nothing really significant has happened to the person. Please see WP:NOTPROMO. In case the person would one day has enough notability, I don't oppose moving the article to userspace for now. Nihonjinatny (talk) 16:10, 28 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Nihonjinatny, why would this article be moved to User space rather than Draft space? No one has asked for it to be userfied and the article creator is blocked. I'm just surprised at your suggestion. Liz Read! Talk! 22:16, 30 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]
@Liz, I thought userfy and draftify are same in effect, it seems I was so wrong. Please teach me the essential differences of the two, thanks! Nihonjinatny (talk) 10:44, 1 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.
Relisting comment: Final relist.

  • Delete. The sources are tabloid and the subject doesn't have notability to the degree independent of the movies they starred in. To make matters worse, some of the movie articles cross-linked are themselves poorly sourced. This article has also been deleted before, only to be resurrected by a now-blocked editor with a history of WP:COI. What changed from that time? Absolutely nothing. Rather than a biography of a living person, this article is a spamcruftvertisement. It's full of useless junk, pointless trivia, and serves only to promote the career of an otherwise non-notable actor.
