The result was delete‎. I see evidence of canvassing here, and the accusations of UPE/COI seem credible. Among the established editors participating here and basing their view on P&G, I see clear consensus to delete. Owen× ☎ 07:53, 29 July 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Likely WP:TOOSOON but fails WP:NACTOR. A lot of announcements on upcoming projects (non of which are notable for Wikipedia), but nothing in-depth about the subject himself outside of non-bylined churnalism and promotional content that mirrors what fall under WP:NEWSORGINDIA.

Keep it: Recently, he is a very popular and notable actor in Bangladesh, about this topic covered in the (Acting career) section. This article has been passed WP:NACTOR for the (Acting career) section. Moreover, this article has been accepted into the AFC draft submission. – Aqsis Bey (talk) 13:00, 1 July 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Keep He pasess WP:NACTOR from the roles he's done. Gepeas (talk) 09:01, 14 July 2025 (UTC)[reply]

First, see WP:HOUNDING. Fewer than 50 edits and yet you show up at numerous AfD discussions with different topics, filed on different dates, etc. Only one connection to all of these which is me. Second, see WP:ATA. Third, there is no inherent notability from WP:NACTOR based on roles (see discussion here).--CNMall41 (talk) 16:50, 14 July 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Oh wow, I didn't even notice you until now, trust me, I'm not exactly out here hounding you. Don't flatter yourself. lol. Secondly, I understand that The person has had significant roles in multiple notable films, television shows, stage performances, or other productions meets the notability under WP:NACTOR. If that’s incorrect, feel free to correct me, preferably without the snide tone. Gepeas (talk) 17:58, 14 July 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Not flattered. Pretty duckish when new accounts are created to HOUND. You wouldn't be the first. To appease your vote, I will reiterate what I said in my third point above. Yes, you are incorrect. Simply having the roles does not guarantee notability. I would again suggest you read the discuss I linked to (or don't). --CNMall41 (talk) 18:03, 14 July 2025 (UTC)[reply]

I don't know how you came up with this hounding idea. Out of the 11 AfD discussions I'm involved in, only two came up with your name. Anyway, I don't see any reason to continue this discussion with your dogmatic mindset. Gepeas (talk) 18:21, 14 July 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Delete - Don't see any source which can be regarded as significant and reliable. WP:TOOSOON and FAIL WP:ACTOR. - Rht bd (talk) 17:27, 15 July 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Keep - As per the actor has done some notable films.

—ApurboWiki2024 (talk) 09:28, 16 July 2025 (UTC)[reply]

See WP:VW. "the actor has done some notable films." Which films, what roles, what sources verify, where is the significant coverage documenting such? There is NO guideline that says someone is notable for having "done some notable films."--CNMall41 (talk) 17:35, 16 July 2025 (UTC)[reply]

I'm getting the scent of a UPE firm here. A suspicious account messaged me on social media asking for advice on how to keep this article up! Also, it fails WP:NACTOR, so delete. —Yahya (talk • contribs.) 09:23, 18 July 2025 (UTC)[reply]
That was me who messaged Yahya, okay, you have to remember that I submitted this page as a draft. And it passed the AFC. So Keep. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 103.89.25.23 (talk) 13:27, 18 July 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Relisting comment: "It passes NACTOR" is insufficient. Explain the roles which show that this because just stating it as true does not make it so. Additionally some items which pass AFC should get deleted. The standard at AFC is will probably survive AfD which means some will not. At the moment I weight this discussion as DELETE given the lack of justification for the keep votes but am relisting this a third time to give time for those advocating keep to justify their reasoning.

"Keep" per Gepeas and 103.89.25.23. — Preceding unsigned comment added by MJR33 (talk • contribs) 07:14, 22 July 2025 (UTC)[reply]

See WP:VW. Also, you are only allowed to vote from your main account.--CNMall41 (talk) 16:16, 22 July 2025 (UTC)[reply]

WP:VWis a disambiguation page, did you mean to link to something else? Schützenpanzer (Talk) 19:57, 23 July 2025 (UTC)[reply]

WP:VAGUEWAVE. Sorry. --CNMall41 (talk) 01:18, 24 July 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Delete. A blocked enwiki user contacted me offwiki asking if there's any way to re-add this. Like User:Yahya mentioned, I believe there is off-wiki canvassing going on. Anyway, delete the article. Fails WP:NACTOR, other than some mentions and routine/promotional coverage, I don't see any significant coverage. --আফতাবুজ্জামান (talk) 18:17, 24 July 2025 (UTC)[reply]

The page itself, as well as several !votes here, scream WP:UPE and/or WP:COI. --CNMall41 (talk) 19:25, 24 July 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Delete: Notability is thin – fact that many of roles are filming and existing ones are minor and hard to distinguish from promotional coverage. WeWake (talk) 08:08, 28 July 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Keep - meets notability criteria under WP:GNG. He has won a national acting competition, received a recognized acting award (TRUB), and has featured in multiple films that have drawn consistent coverage in respected Bangladeshi media: The Daily Star, Business Standard, Daily Sun etc.^[1]^[2]^[3]^[4]^[5]^[6]Goodboyjj (talk) 11:23, 28 July 2025 (UTC)[reply]

References

You mean the national "Fair and Handsome The Ultimate Man" which sounds more like a beauty contest. The acting award is not a notable one. He has acted in films, not been featured. The coverage you referenced above that they are drawing is indicative of NEWSORGINDIA with the exception of this which is an interview and not independent. --CNMall41 (talk) 16:42, 28 July 2025 (UTC)[reply]
