Fails requirements of WP:NACTOR, simply appearing on a reality television show doesn't qualify as being notable. Neither does being a contestant on a male beauty pageant. Fails WP: ANYBIO lacks significant coverage in multiple independent reliable secondary sources. Dan arndt (talk) 00:12, 1 October 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Delete Just similar to this Afd on Mugen Rao. It is also quite evident that this bio too might have been created for the purpose of promoting the subject. Abishe (talk) 11:49, 6 October 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Keep I have overhauled majority of the content in the article to match Wikipedia's standard and I think that the subject of the article satisfies WP:NACTOR, since the 'reality show' is not generic since there is a constant of mayhem in the social media due to the article and the people who follow the show rigorously support for their favourite contestant even going to the extremes. I think the subject is one of the above mentioned people and I have cited resources in the article. So I recommend to Keep the article.

Delete per nom and Abishe. -- Begoon 05:51, 7 October 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Weak Delete. The newsminute, pinkvilla, and times of India sources almost seem satisfy GNG/BASIC. But I see it as pretty trivial coverage of mostly one event. Hydromania (talk) 07:52, 7 October 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Keep concur with Beastranger (talk) - Sunlitsky (talk) 09:22, 8 October 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Delete Not one reliable source in the article is anything but about the TV show called Big Boss. The subject has been referred to by-the-by in all these articles that primarily address the show. There is no other significant coverage of the subject. Fails ANYBIO, fails GNG, fails NACTOR. Should be simply deleted till the subject gains more notability.

Delete. There are a number of sources which mention him, but I cannot see enough substantive coverage. Vanamonde (Talk) 20:33, 8 October 2019 (UTC)[reply]
