Note: I added Top Actors of Bollywood to this discussion as I think both should be considered together. Article has the same problems. Barney the barney barney (talk) 17:00, 2 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion so a clearer consensus may be reached.

Delete both per nom. It may be interesting and these may be good directors and actors, but fails no encyclopediac scope/inclusion-criteria, just a cherry-picked list from some source and a cherry-picked set of credentials for each entry. DMacks (talk) 08:46, 7 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Delete both as per nom. You can't just pop up with a list of people, you need to have some sort of criteria. A better article might be Bollywood directors who have won a particularly prestigious award - see, for example, articles such as Academy Award for Best Director, which features an extensive (and complete) list of winners and nominees. I don't know what the equivalent here would be, but such a list would have a clear criteria for inclusion. UltraExactZZ ^Said~ Did 13:46, 9 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]
