No significant coverage in independent reliable sources, no evidence that the actor has played a major role in films listed in the article. Current sources are either unreliable, primary or youtube videos. Fails WP:GNG and WP:NACTOR. GSS (talk|c|em) 11:37, 31 August 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Keep - he seems to be playing regular supporting roles in Tamil films following his debut in Kayal. Away from films, he is also notable for his work as the General Manager of Kalaignar TV and enjoys wide coverage as a socialite in Chennai. Will try and add sources regularly as I find them.

• Delete "regular support roles" is not the same as significant roles. The subject is not notable. I am thinking we need to tighten our guidelines on actor notability, and film notability as well. At one point it seems that Wikipedia was trying to be a carbon copy of IMDb. We have far too many articles on both actors and films that are not notable.John Pack Lambert (talk) 08:27, 4 September 2017 (UTC)[reply]
  • I disagree but even then a few sources show off his notability as the General Manager of one of India's leading television stations. The man obviously does carry notability, which may just not be clear in the Western world. Editor 2050 (talk) 17:21, 4 September 2017 (UTC)[reply]
• Weak keep as he does not pass WP:NACTOR but has significant coverage due to his Television Manager position. Atlantic306 (talk) 15:32, 6 September 2017 (UTC)[reply]

• Delete- Fails GNG and NACTOR no in-depth coverage only passing mentions, this source [1] mentions that he is a General Manager-Administration, Kalaignar TV. In my opinion it should be deleted and redirect to Kalaignar TV.  FITINDIA  10:54, 7 September 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Note from creator - another point that could be understood is that Florent Pereira is not a young, tech-savvy, publicity-seeking actor - who has gone chasing interviews. He is very much in his late 50s, I presume - which significantly reduces chances of finding any interviews with noted publications. Editor 2050 (talk) 18:44, 11 September 2017 (UTC)[reply]
