  • Delete generally you need strong signs of notability when you lack birth and death dates.John Pack Lambert (talk) 01:43, 12 April 2018 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep Although it seems her career was rather short, there is evidence that she appeared in some high-profile films. I believe there is some confusion about her real name, which may go some way towards explaining the lack of sources. Deb (talk) 14:55, 12 April 2018 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep. Kajjan is substantially notable in context to Hindi Cinema history.[1]

The issue about her birth/death date is mentioned in ref provided above by FloridaArmy along with referential book here. Would suggest page move to Jehanara Kajjan (or Jahanara Kajjan as referenced to in pages 157, 158, 162 and figure 7.8 in the book "The Modern Girl Around the World: Consumption, Modernity, and Globalization")[2] and ref already mentioned by FloridaArmy. Kajjan is rarely referred to as Kajjanbai now. Thanks to Deb there are refs now in the article. Kaayay (talk) 08:03, 13 April 2018 (UTC)[reply]
