Non notable actor has played no significant roles. Fails WP:BIO and WP:NACTOR. Cant seem to find any independent coverage on him. - FitIndia ^{Talk Commons} 16:42, 8 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Keep the subject (a comedy actor) passes Wikipedia:Notability#General notability guideline. I believe it is wrong to assume that only actors with lead roles should have Wikipedia articles. Supporting actors and film comedians can also have articles, see the enormous list on Category:Comedians. This actor has worked in multiple films as shown in this link [1]. As for the example of Independent coverage, after going through the google translate, these articles [2] [3] easily qualifies for independent and significant coverage by Jagran and Bhaskar that are reputed national newspapers from India.

Weak Keep Article somehow manages to scratch the surface of crossing GNG. Still looking for sources. --Rsrikanth05 (talk) 22:36, 8 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Keep It is openly seen that article passes WP:GNG. Barnwal is an Bhojpuri movie comedian actor as showed in source: Jagran and Bhaskar. --Raaj Tilak (talk) 06:34, 10 April 2020 (UTC)— Note to closing admin: Raaj Tilak (talk • contribs) is the creator of the page that is the subject of this AfD.

Delete the keep claims are a bit absurd considering the sources are all other Wikis/unreliable sources/listings. Praxidicae (talk) 15:12, 11 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Delete. He appears to be a run of the mill bit actor, possibly a little person? Bearian (talk) 01:49, 15 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Delete appear to have acted in some minor non-notable productions. Fails WP:NACTOR and WP:GNG. GSS ^💬 06:12, 15 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]

@Above editors, please review the detailed coverage provided in the links I shared. --Cedix (talk) 17:09, 15 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]

None of those sources support notability. GSS ^💬 17:44, 15 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]

And why not ? aren't they "significant coverage in reliable sources that are independent of the subject" ? Cedix (talk) 19:35, 15 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]
