[edit] Kalpana Singh-Chitnis

Kalpana Singh-Chitnis (edit|talk|history|links|watch|logs) - (View log)

Previously speedied as an A7, but recreated with substantial more information that constitutes an assertion of notability. However, participation in a few film endeavors appears to fall well below the threshold of notability per WP:BIO, with no WP:RS indicating notability. Google lends very little, as does IMDb, and the creation of the article by User:Silentriver may indicate a WP:COI issue, vis-a-vis Silent River Pictures And Publications. Delete recommended. --Kinu t/c 21:29, 11 January 2007 (UTC)

  • Weak delete NRI film director with a minor award for a 16-min short at a small festival (just a mention, not a main prize[1]). Her poetry probably doesn't make the grade for WP:BIO either, but there are mentions of awards[2] that could be worth checking. The title "Bihar Shree" doesn't google except as an award from the Bihar Young Journalists Association (for example[3]). Anything to support the article's claim about an award from the Bihar state government would help. Mereda 16:43, 12 January 2007 (UTC)
  • Weak delete needs extensive wikification/cleanup at a minimum SUBWAYguy 21:20, 12 January 2007 (UTC)
  • Comment - not impressed that you found time to edit war about including several tags and then hit a newbie with warnings, but didn't have time to explain how to wikify or improve the article. Addhoc 16:33, 18 January 2007 (UTC)
  • Weak keep, salvageable, but only just. Addhoc 16:01, 18 January 2007 (UTC)
  • Delete. If we go by the letter of Note 5 of WP:BIO, this director does not yet qualify for notability. It is very possible that she will do so in the future, but that depends entirely on the writing of third-party articles about her work that will appear in newspapers, magazines or books. I also don't like the WP:COI of her film company apparently writing this article. If the article is kept it ought to be rewritten by a non-affiliated person. If she completes the feature film 'Adios Mi Amigo' and it is widely reviewed and commented on, and if an outsider can write the article, then it might be considered again.
