Child actress who has had one low-credited role. Fails WP:ENTERTAINER. WikiDan61^ChatMe!_ReadMe!! 21:37, 1 February 2012 (UTC)

• Weak Keep Comment: There are independent references which claim that she has about an hour of screen-time in a major Indian movie. She also plays the role of the sister of the main protagonist. I also see other articles like, Armaan Verma, in which the actor has had a very similar role. Yet another example I see is that of Christopher Mintz-Plasse, where the article was created as soon as he performed his debut role in Superbad. The article was nominated for deletion and the consensus was keep. — Pewfly (talk) 22:18, 1 February 2012 (UTC)

Comment WP:ACTOR is pretty clear on the criteria for inclusion:

• significant roles in multiple notable films (emphasis added).

Tiwari has had a single role, and there is scant evidence that it is a significant role. (Screen time alone is not a very good indicator.) WikiDan61^ChatMe!_ReadMe!! 22:30, 1 February 2012 (UTC)

Reply Agreed that in the light of WP:NACTOR the notability of this article remains dubious (that's why the weak keep). But articles have been created about actors as soon as they land a role in a single movie (Georgie Henly, Jordan Nagai for example). I don't see why this article should be an exception. — Pewfly (talk) 22:42, 1 February 2012 (UTC)

Comment See WP:OTHERSTUFFEXISTS. Just because other poor articles are around doesn't mean we should keep this one. WikiDan61^ChatMe!_ReadMe!! 00:17, 2 February 2012 (UTC)

Exactly! You cant argue that if they existed, she also should. And also you cant delete them now. They are all notable now. Plus if you wanna argue that, we also have n number of actors who have worked in numerous films but dont have article to their name. I was gonna nominate Armaan Verma after you gave his example. But he was nominated for Best Child Actor and thus became notable enough to stay.-Animeshkulkarni (talk) 09:38, 2 February 2012 (UTC)

• Delete: as per the nomination. -Animeshkulkarni (talk) 09:38, 2 February 2012 (UTC)
• Delete - Does not appear to meet notability requirements at this time. - TexasAndroid (talk) 15:53, 2 February 2012 (UTC)
• Delete - Simply the existence on Wikipedia does not make a person notable enough. We will have to wait for some time for Kanika to become notable enough. She is not yet reliably sourced in foreign media and all articles referenced here have the same content and focus on one single event of her life. Their are far too many small actors who have come and gone in the Hindi Film Industry. lets wait for another five years and then add her entry (after she achieves more). Wikipedia is not a promotion board people, and should not be used (or considered) for the same. Its merely a reflection of noteworthy people and events. Once we have enough content to Justify a full article (in the recommended layout) I will welcome a full article. Wikishagnik (talk) 18:00, 4 February 2012 (UTC)
