It's quite rare for a film industry costume designer to achieve notability, and this one might be notable but I doubt it. There's good coverage in The Hindu plus a couple of interviews. It's hard to see how WP:CREATIVE criteria are met. ~Anachronist (talk) 00:42, 26 November 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Keep good coverage in The Hindu plus a couple of interviews here: https://www.magzter.com/article/Lifestyle/FWD-Life/Stitching-His-Way-To-Success and here: http://www.fwdlife.in/tag/mashar-hamsa (although I only found that one interview) seem just enough to me.

@Ross-c: The criterion for inclusion is multiple independent reliable sources. Interviews are primary sources and don't count toward notability. ~Anachronist (talk) 07:07, 27 November 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Keep good article about him in Malayala Manorama. http://www.manoramaonline.com/style/glitz-n-glamour/interview-with-costume-designer-mashar-hamsa.html NK 17:20, 27 November 2017 (UTC) — Nabeelkallayil (talk • contribs) has made few or no other edits outside this topic.
Interviews are not independent coverage, they are considered primary sources, and don't count toward notability. You have a COI about this, you apparently know the guy, based on your contributions about closely related subjects. Do you have anything else? ~Anachronist (talk) 17:44, 27 November 2017 (UTC)[reply]
he done 10 more filmes and his profile avilabile in IMDB[1]. also he have large fan base (https://www.instagram.com/masharhamsa) 01:43, 28 November 2017 (UTC) — Nabeelkallayil (talk • contribs) has made few or no other edits outside this topic.
IMDB is user-generated content and cannot be used to determine notability. See WP:RS/IMDB for more information. An instagram profile also doesn't show notability. He has "followers" not necessarily fans. ~Anachronist (talk) 03:07, 28 November 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Delete interviews do not count towards the needed multiple reliable source 3rd party indepdent secondary source coverage. The Hindu article might, but it is one not multiple.John Pack Lambert (talk) 00:38, 27 November 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Delete for many reasons. His profession is subset of film/director. I can't remember seeing any article about other film costumiers because they're generally non notable and work under direction of film directors, who themselves majority don't pass WP:DIRECTOR. For him to deserve an article he must, of course, show undoubteful recognition by several independent sources and such sustained coverage for years not just one mention about film he helped in production. And this is virtually absent noe except few interviews of few questions which don't count as solid secondary sources. In short he didn't meet WP:CREATIVE nor WP:GNG, perhaps in the future –Ammarpad (talk) 17:56, 27 November 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Similar (Costume designer) article available in wiki. Sameera Saneesh from malayalam films, Ritu Kumar from hindi NK 01:44, 28 November 2017 (UTC)
WP:OTHERSTUFF isn't a valid argument for keeping an article. Each article stands or falls on its own merits irrespective of what else might exist on Wikipedia. In any case, Sameera Saneesh won awards and has multiple independent sources giving her far more coverage than MasharHamsa. Ritu Kumar is a fashion designer, not a costume designer, but also has more coverage than MasharHamsa. ~Anachronist (talk) 03:18, 28 November 2017 (UTC)[reply]
