Shaheen Siddique

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

Fails WP:BASIC - Lack of independent sources. All cited sources are unreliable and passing mentions, except the TOI published before his debut, because he is the son of Siddique (actor), but notability is not inherited. He is yet to establish notability as an actor. --Let There Be Sunshine 15:28, 10 February 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Keep finding plenty of coverage between cites in article and those found hitting "news" link above. Articles such as here discussing this subject and hia roles. FloridaArmy (talk) 12:04, 11 February 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Delete -- WP:TOOSOON; does not meet WP:NACTOR just yet as the roles are all minor. The link offered above is a routine news item, which underscores that the subject is not yet notable:

"...The director confirms that Shaheen is indeed part of the film, which has an ensemble cast and is one of the pivotal characters in the film. The movie also has Kunchacko Boban, Nedumudi Venu, Nyla Usha and Ketaki Narayan."

This is not WP:SIGCOV as required for BLPs. K.e.coffman (talk) 02:16, 15 February 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Keep, is mentioned by 5 (five) different sources and twice by two of them. --Donald Trung (No fake news) (Articles) Respect mobile users, sign a petition to allow me to use emoji's in my signature. 09:54, 17 February 2018 (UTC)[reply]

So 3 sources only mention him twice, and the other 2 twice? This sounds like passing mentions and not WP:SIGCOV. K.e.coffman (talk) 03:31, 19 February 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Delete The only references are passing mentions of him starting his acting career. The fact that he is the son of a notable actor does not grant notability as WP:NOTINHERITED. An article is justified if he has sustained coverage, but right now it is WP:TOOSOON --Hagennos^Talk 16:48, 26 February 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Keep. Found some more coverage on him here: The Hindu, The Hindu, DesiMartini, Deccan Chronicle. This along with the references shared above and on the page makes a pretty compelling case. I'm sure, if tried, we will also find other articles in local language newspapers. Mr RD 19:40, 3 March 2018 (UTC)[reply]
