The subject does not pass general notability guidelines or WP:ANYBIO. Lacks significant coverage in reliable sources that are independent of the subject. DMySon (talk) 12:39, 23 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Keep - plenty of online sources exist, and she seems quite notable - a noted and veteran film critic, recently an author of a notable book (I see quite a few book reviews by major publications), who has won a Ramnath Goenka Excellence in Journalism Award for her film criticism. It's no mean achievement. Sources exist, they just need to be added. I suggest that someone be bold and expand it, I would if I had more time. Shahid • ^Talk2me 10:00, 24 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Comment Source Analysis:

1. Indianexpress: a biography profile which is not independent of the subject, hence failed WP:GNG.
2. thereviewmonk: a self published biography profile on a non reliable website which is not meeting WP:SIGCOV.
3. harpercollins.co.in: Again a bio profile which is not independent of the subject and does not pass WP:GNG.
4. fipresci: a self published bio profile not independent of the subject failed WP:SIGCOV.

Keep per WP:ANYBIO, her having recieved an RNG Award; also per WP:CREATIVE as she is frequently refered to and quoted for film industry related topics (see for example Foreign Policy, The Hindu, Financial Times, etc) and her works subject to significant critical attention (see Outlook, etc).

Foreignpolicy: Just a passing mention, but we can think to consider this.
thehindu: No in-depth coverage, just a passing mention.
ft: Couldn't check due to It's paid subscription, if anyone having its paid subscription, please let us know.

I can view a different FT article on ProQuest, where she is quoted for her expertise: "Hindu nationalists take aim at Bollywood" (Oct 17, 2020, e.g. discussing the BJP and Bollywood, "...said Shubhra Gupta, author of 50 Films that Changed Bollywood.") I'm not able to view the Foreign Policy article, but The Hindu seems like more than a passing mention because it is a paragraph about her, in the context of the commentary of the larger article.

Keep per WP:BASIC - I updated the article to add two book reviews and two interviews with some independent content, and verification of her appointment to the Central Board of Film Certification. I have found research challenging because on both GNews and ProQuest, results are flooded with hits to her own work as a critic. However, she is quoted as an expert in a variety of sources and has received critical attention for her work, including in the notable award, so WP:BASIC notability as a film critic appears to be sufficiently supported.

Keep per Beccaynr. She is an award-winning film critic who is frequently cited. -- Kautilya3 (talk) 13:08, 27 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Keep per Beccaynr and Tayi Arajakate. TrangaBellam (talk) 20:22, 27 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]
