The subject fails WP:GNG due to a lack of significant coverage in reliable, independent sources. Acting roles are minor—brief appearances in Toilet: Ek Prem Katha, Mirzapur, and Aashram and do not meet WP:NACTOR. The "world record" lacks notability, and relation to a politician is irrelevant. Most sources, like ANI press releases and Nai Dunia, are unreliable or do not mention the subject. The article also shows WP:COI issues and feels like WP:TOOSOON.

The article's credibility is further undermined by the page creator uploading an image with false copyright claims, which was deleted twice for violations despite being claimed as their own work. Zuck28 (talk) 15:33, 2 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Subject's acting roles are minor and insignificant.

The claimed "world record" for a book is not a notable award, and being the son of a politician does not confer notability, as it is not inherited per Wikipedia standards.

The article relies heavily on unreliable or inadequate sources:

- Source #2 (ANI press release) is self-published.

- Source #3 (Nai Dunia) is non-reliable.

- Source #5 is a forum, not a credible source.

- Source #7 is non-reliable.

- Source #8 does not mention the subject.

- Source #9 is a duplicate.

- Source #10 and Source #11 do not mention the subject.

Most remaining sources fall under WP:NEWSORGINDIA, which typically lack the depth required for significant coverage.

Dear, Significant sources are available.𝒮-𝒜𝓊𝓇𝒶 02:02, 3 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]
S-Aura, Please mention those sources with SIGCOV and are reliable, with no WP:FRUIT and WP:PRIMARY. I can't find any. — Benison (Beni · talk) 06:01, 10 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Dear @Benison,

The TOI [1], India TV [2] and The Tribune (India) [3] generally considered secondary sources because they analyze or report on events involving Akash Singh rather than being direct records from him or original documents. 𝒮-𝒜𝓊𝓇𝒶 06:13, 10 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]
S-Aura, All of these are interviews and promotional stuff. Anything spoken in interviews are primary because the subject is the source. They aren't used here. TOI is not reliable for personal data and box office. (See WP:ICTFSOURCES). — Benison (Beni · talk) 07:18, 10 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Keep This page meet the criteria under both WP:GNG and the WP:NACTOR. The article is supported by many significant coverage.
Delete As per nominator, subject does not meet WP:GNG. Filmibeat, Naidunia, IndiaForums, OneIndia, MPBreaking are not reliable. Almandavi (talk) 05:27, 3 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]
I think you need to be more careful when editing Wikipedia. It’s unacceptable that you fail to recognize one of the top media portals like OneIndia. Your edits seem really suspicious to me. 𝒮-𝒜𝓊𝓇𝒶 08:21, 3 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]
OneIndia is listed as unreliable here per WP:ICTFSOURCES Warm Regards, Miminity (Talk?) (me contribs) 12:30, 3 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Understood! kindly review more listed sources, as there are many reliable available including TOI, NDTV, and The Print etc. Additionally, his father Govind Singh Rajput is also a Cabinet Minister. 𝒮-𝒜𝓊𝓇𝒶 18:52, 3 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]
@S-Aura Being someone's son doesn't makes the personality notable for wikipedia. Almandavi (talk) 07:14, 6 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]
@Almandavi, The context was different. I hope you will understand as you start editing. 𝒮-𝒜𝓊𝓇𝒶 08:03, 6 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks @Miminity for clearing it. @S-Aura Better to research and fix rather than pointing other editors. Almandavi (talk) 07:13, 6 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]
@Almandavi, Thanks for your advice! 𝒮-𝒜𝓊𝓇𝒶 08:04, 6 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Keep: meets WP:GNG, as multiple reliable sources have been found.Sync! (talk)
Delete: No SIGCOV whatsoever. Most of the references are totally unreliable per WP:ICTFSOURCES and passing mentions and minor roles aren't NACTOR or SIGCOV. — Benison (Beni · talk) 06:00, 10 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Kindly review again! 𝒮-𝒜𝓊𝓇𝒶 06:18, 10 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]
