(Find sources: Google (books · news · scholar · free images · WP refs) · FENS · JSTOR · TWL)

Looks like he had minor roles in serials, majority of article tells his notability as only being son of Waseem Abbas. Fails WP:ACTORS. SahabAli wadia 13:55, 26 August 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Keep had third billing in Kisay Chahoon, third billing in Tum Kon Piya, seond billing in Titli (serial), third billing in Nazr-e-Bad, third billing in Khaali Haath so passes WP:NACTOR. Also has coverage in reliable sources such as here and here.Atlantic306 (talk) 14:16, 26 August 2017 (UTC)[reply]

@Atlantic306: It is not seen that in which dramas the actor has acted, but 'what major works did he do' is seen. Currently he is only known for acting in dramas, which doesn't give reliable sense of news. SahabAli wadia 14:23, 26 August 2017 (UTC)[reply]

So, acting in dramas makes him less of an actor? — fortunavelut luna 14:25, 26 August 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Most television dramas are notable as per WP:TVSERIES, and having a wikipedia article makes them notable in most cases Atlantic306 (talk) 14:29, 26 August 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Per WP:ACTORS, actors can be only notable if they have done since significant work out major role which also means films. Atlantic306 and Fortuna Imperatrix Mundi, read it before saying. SahabAli wadia 14:55, 26 August 2017 (UTC)[reply]

WP:NACTOR means television and/or film roles, there are thousands of wikipedia articles (some featured articles) on actors who have had prominent television roles but little or no film work, so actors with prominent tv roles mainly pass WP:NACTOR Atlantic306 (talk) 15:07, 26 August 2017 (UTC)[reply]
