Comment - There is a thing called WP:BEFORE. Insight 3 (talk) 14:31, 28 November 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Strong KEEP Majid Jahangir worked for Pakistan Television Corporation for 22 years and is a very notable TV actor. He was awarded by the Government of Pakistan twice for his contributions, once in the 1980s and again in 2021. Besides all this, this article has many reliable Pakistani newspaper references to support and endorse his notability. In my view, this article does not belong on AfD.

Comment: I can't see any notable work except Fifty Fifty TV drama (6 years) in his 22 years journey (someone claimed). And the work in TV show Khabarnak doesn't make him even notable because no one can claim for his years of participation in this show. (Most of the cast is nont notable in this show). Actor should be in the list of multiple films, dramas, stage performances or multiple awards nominations to make him notable.M.Ashraf333 (talk) 05:04, 30 November 2022 (UTC)[reply]
You nominated this article within less than an hour of its creation, making it highly doubtful that you even glanced at the cited sources let alone carefully read or evaluated them for subject's notability. This is a very casual and irresponsible nomination, to say the least.

Now for multiple performances and award nominations, see the article again and this time give it some thought. Insight 3 (talk) 05:51, 30 November 2022 (UTC)[reply]
As far as his nomination is concerned, it is a responsible nomination. In 1975, he won an award by acting in just one play, and he also took a long break.

I have not seen any other work of this actor after this play. If you have any knowledge, write it on the page and I will be with you. Otherwise, there is a long list of actors like him in Pakistan who have acted in 4-5 dramas, so are they also famous people?M.Ashraf333 (talk) 08:38, 30 November 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Keep Quite a notable actor, article too has significant coverage from reliable sources. Muneebll (talk) 12:54, 3 December 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Keep - per WP:NBASIC and WP:ANYBIO. The subject has significant coverage in multiple reliable sources and has won 2 highly notable state awards. This nomination is simply the result of nominator's poor understanding of WP:NACTOR. Insight 3 (talk) 16:45, 5 December 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.
Please add new comments below this notice. Thanks, Liz ^{Read! Talk!} 16:56, 5 December 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Keep I was going to mention WP:ANYBIO before reading the comment above mine. Yes, two notable awards indicate notability, and the sourcing is good. Nythar (💬-❄️) 02:20, 9 December 2022 (UTC)[reply]
