[edit] Nitin Sahrawat

Nitin Sahrawat (edit|talk|history|links|watch|logs) – (View log)

Contested Prod, non-referenced article of an "emerging" actor, notability not proven SkierRMH 03:28, 1 July 2007 (UTC)

  • Delete. Not notable yet. Might have done bit roles in TV commercials, but there are no references for even those. The PROD was removed saying that "nitin sahrawat is one of the most popular actors and his commercials can be accessed on you tube". Searching YouTube for "Nitin Sahrawat" fetches no results. If he is indeed "one of the most popular actors", I am sure a Google search should return more than two unrelated results. utcursch | talk 04:13, 1 July 2007 (UTC)
  • Delete Only true assertion of notability is the controversy about the music videos, and even this is rather tenuous. Nothing in the article is sourced. Caknuck 04:27, 1 July 2007 (UTC)
  • Undecided Not clear to me yet that this actor has not had a major role in a feature film or TV show. Page creator is new to wikipedia, and should be given a chance and some coaching on what info needs to be provided and how to provide it (I've put some on author's talk page). May be that all the really good sources are in hindi and wouldn't be found on google search. I will see if this can be addressed before weighing in; from the info I have so far, I'm leaning toward delete. Capmango 04:35, 1 July 2007 (UTC)
    Searching in Hindi doesn't give any results either. Besides, English is quite common in India -- if this actor is "one of the most popular" ones, it's really surprising that it's so hard to find any sources. utcursch | talk 05:43, 1 July 2007 (UTC)
  • Delete "Emerging actor", as in non-notable actor. No major roles except a few commercials (per article) Corpx 05:59, 1 July 2007 (UTC)
  • With ref to my article on 'Nitin Sahrawat' kindly search Youtube again. some friends have managed to upload some of Mr Sahrawat's commercials. The reason for Nitin Sahrawat's relative obscurity is his almost reclusive nature.Inspite of him being an actor he has a policy of letting his work speak for itself- he has never given any interview. Thats what makes him even more endearing.

Do let me know if any more proofs wd be required. thanks. Karan Singhania 21:45, 1 July 2007 (UTC)

Comment It is not proof of existence that is needed; it is proof of notability. Are there any newspaper or magazine articles in major independent publications that are specifically about him and him alone? Does he have any non-trivial independent third party notice from reviewers? Actors who appear only in commercials are almost always non-notable because nobody cares who is in an ad, and no independent, non-trivial third party is talking about them specifically (in other words, not just mentioning them as an aside). --Charlene 01:39, 2 July 2007 (UTC)
