[edit] John Abraham (actor)

A lot of facts about the actor such as his place of birth, residing opposite Goldspot, first Asian Levi's model, parents eloping and estranged relationship with family etc are highly debatable or untrue. Also it doesnt seem to be written with a neutral point of view. Seems to be more like a fan page rather than a page bearing facts. The page needs to be redone with actual facts and should be devoid of claims such as the actor beig the sexiest homspaien and also of the wirters proclaimation of love for the actor --Wildflower686 10:45, 24 April 2006 (UTC)

The "sexiest homosapiens" bit was just added by a vandal and as for anything else, that can be researched. Since Abraham is one of the better known actors in Bollywood, I highly doubt it would be wise to delete his article. --Plumcouch 12:07, 24 April 2006 (UTC)

A lot of our Indian film articles are regrettably unreferenced. The editors are often Indian, and immersed in an environment where gossip about film stars is just as obsessive, and intrusive, as is gossip about Hollywood stars in the US. There's stuff that they just KNOW and don't see any need to reference. It is a constant struggle to keep the articles pruned of gossip and fancruft.

John Abraham is a major star these days (and incidentally, rather well known for his appearances in PETA ads, dressed in strategically placed vegetables, as I remember). Fix article, don't delete it. Zora 19:09, 24 April 2006 (UTC)

Keep, highly notable actor in Indian cinema, and qualifies for WP:BIO --Andy123(talk) 16:40, 25 April 2006 (UTC)

Keep, looks to be incredibly notable, has won several awards and has an extensive filmography. Articles should not be deleted for WP:NPOV reasons unless they're inherently non-neutral; an article like this, if non-neutral, can simply be edited until it's a good article. fuddlemark (fuddle me!) 18:03, 25 April 2006 (UTC)

• Keep Very well known in regards to Bollywood. Plenty of sources which indicate enough notability for an article.--Cini 18:27, 25 April 2006 (UTC)
• Keep, appears to be extremely notable. --badlydrawnjeff (WP:MEMES?) 21:16, 25 April 2006 (UTC)
• Keep, seems quite notable. Is there something about the non-vandal, non-fancruft that is unsupportable? Kuru ^talk 21:58, 25 April 2006 (UTC)
• Keep, John Abraham is a notable star, people would like to know more about him, and this article certainly does provide more on that star—Preceding unsigned comment added by 165.89.84.88 (talk • contribs) 00:06, 28 April 2006 165.89.84.88
• Keep, unfortunately notable. Hornplease 07:49, 30 April 2006 (UTC)
