Keep Nominator's concern of "no citations" has been addressed. Allow expansion of stub accordingly through regular editing as apparently meeting WP:GNG. And no, I've never heard of this Indian comic before this AFD. Schmidt, ^{MICHAEL Q.} 16:54, 12 April 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Keep. concern now addressed. SYSS Mouse (talk) 02:21, 16 April 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Weak delete - The second and third links are not sufficient to demonstrate notability. They refer to his partner talking about him in passing. I don't know the full context, but I get the idea that this is something similar to Last Comic Standing, and this was a contestant. I could be wrong about that, but the only source that is suggestive of WP:N is the first one. I don't think a mere mention is enough, but there maybe is more, hence the weak.

It is a rip off of Lost Comic Standing, but as it happens in indian reality show "contests", they avoid eliminating contestants as long as possible and the season drags on and on, with the effect contestants become cast appearing in tens of episodes. And if they prove to be popular, they get added as regular cast in next seasons. The subject is one such - he was a "contestant" who won in 2008, but it is now 2010 and he is still in the show. In effect he has appeared in like a hundred prime time TV episodes(!). --Sodabottle (talk) 10:25, 16 April 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Userfy The references only reference one sentence which pretty much makes up the article. If what Sodabottle is saying is true, then why doesn't he add it to the article and reference it suitably? The article could benefit from it. I know Rome wasn't built in a day, but if people are serious about creating articles, they should userfy it to their namespace or sandbox before putting it live. This way it elevates such problems like this. Userfy to the creators namespace until the article is sufficiently expanded to meet WP:N and WP:BIO.

I have now added and sourced his appearance in 3 seasons of the show (in 2007, 2008 and 2010). Note : The article creator was an SPA and hasn't been back since his first edit. I believe the sources added now satisfy WP:GNG--Sodabottle (talk) 04:29, 24 April 2010 (UTC)[reply]
