I rejected the A7 CSD on this actor bio. Procedural nom, not checked for sources yet, so I'm neutral on the issue for now. Martijn Hoekstra (talk) 21:49, 11 May 2008 (UTC)

  • I really wish editors could be given a bit more time to develop articles before their newly minted stubs get tagged for CSDs and AFDs. Anyway, this Indian actor has appeared in 13 films according to IMDB [1], and his performances, often in leading roles, noted in 112 newspaper articles on googlenews [2] He seems to easily meet WP:ENTERTAINER Keep--Slp1 (talk) 22:13, 11 May 2008 (UTC)

  • Keep. Notability is demonstrated by sources. I'm not sure what is meant here by a "procedural nom". What procedure mandates that declined speedy deletions have to go to AfD? And that this should be done within 5 minutes of article creation and without the usual pre-nomination checks? Phil Bridger (talk) 10:11, 12 May 2008 (UTC)
    • I didn't have to nom it by any procedures, and agree my wording was ill chosen. Still, in this case, I thought it was better to gain a wider discussion/consensus on inclusion. Martijn Hoekstra (talk) 10:25, 12 May 2008 (UTC)

  • Keep per references now in article. 50 lashes with a wet noodle to original speedier for requesting speedy within minutes of creation without checking for sources.--Fabrictramp (talk) 15:44, 12 May 2008 (UTC)
Actually, the IMDB link was there right from the start, so an initial check for sources has always been pretty darn easy! [3]--Slp1 (talk) 18:28, 12 May 2008 (UTC)
