[edit] Rajeev Prasad
Unverifiable. Of the movies listed which appear on IMDB (Devdas and Kal Ho Naa Ho), Mr. Prasad appears nowhere in the credits. If these were minor Bollywood flicks, I could understand, but given that IMDB's credits for KHNH list parts down to "hot dog vendor", for example, this starts looking like some sort of hoax. Even if it isn't, though, we're still left with a biography with no sources and no verifiable claims of notability. Zetawoof(ζ) 03:05, 12 April 2007 (UTC)

- I haven't checked the Devdas credits to verify that this actor played that part, but it was an exceptionally bit part. If I recall correctly, the character had one line "Pranām Choti Ma" (basically paying respects to his new Step mother) and then was in the backround for a few moments. Generally I would say delete unless there is verifiable evidence of his importance to a film or something else. The Devdas appearance doesn't qualify, but coverage focused on him in a reliable publication would. - Taxman Talk 14:50, 12 April 2007 (UTC)
- Hang on, where are you getting what part he played? I wasn't able to find him credited anywhere, period. Zetawoof(ζ) 18:17, 12 April 2007 (UTC)
- It was added in an edit to Devdas (2002 film). But like I said I haven't had a chance to check, and my copy of Devdas is scratched beyond repair. I may be able to get ahold of one tomorrow, or perhaps someone else can check. - Taxman Talk 18:58, 12 April 2007 (UTC)
- Ah... that just showed up, along with a similar addition to Kal Ho Naa Ho, by the same editor that created the article in question. Most curious. You'll have to excuse me for not being a little suspicious, especially given that IMDB doesn't list this actor. Zetawoof(ζ) 23:32, 12 April 2007 (UTC)

- Delete. Smells a bit of selfpromotion, and no apparent notability. -FisherQueen (Talk) 21:11, 12 April 2007 (UTC)
