Basically unsourced biography (only IMDb verifies subject's existence}. Notability per WP:NMG unclear. bender235 (talk) 11:36, 16 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Comment Updated an external link to a reference from South Asia Post, but not sure it is reliable. There are sources from www.apnaorg.com and some other websites, but I wouldn't call these sites reliable. I see old movie posters with his name on them. I'm just not sure.

Comment I'm concerned (per WP:COPYVIO) about the similarity of much of the text of this article to the cited South Asia Post source. The article is also sorely lacking in independent reliable sources, which seems strange considering the subject's apparent notability. Richwales (talk · contribs) 04:59, 24 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Weak keep - there is this article about him from The Tribune which doesn't have the same reliability problems that the other sources might have. There is a legitimate copyright concern, I think the solution is to blank all of the copyrighted content, and try to bring together a shorter article about him based on such sources that can be found, I will try to make a start on this. It his hard to find reliable sources about someone from the pre-web era when you live in a different continent, so we shouldn't expect to find a large number of sources, but from what I've seen, he seems to be just about notable.

Actually, the article I cited above is written by the same author as the South Asia Post article. Anyway, I have removed the copyvio content. Quasi human | Talk 17:05, 30 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]
