This was deleted on CSD grounds and restored at an editor's request, however I maintain that there is no asserted notability in the article. Its up to the community now to decide what to do with it.

Speedy keep. The article clearly asserts notability under NACTOR, as the subject not only appears in but plays a principal role in two notable films. The article also references a profile of the subject in
The Hindu, one of the largest English-language newspapers in India, with a reported circulation in the millions. A prima facie case for notability has been made, and no substantive refutation has been advanced or even attempted.

Delete Clearly does not meet
WP:NACTOR. One role in
Mary Kom (2014), but nothing else. He reportedly had one marginal role in
Aśoka (2001 film), according to some unreliable sources, but is not mentioned in corresponding Wikipedia article at all.
NH10, "his first film", has not been released yet! IMDB does not know, if his name is spelled Darshan Kumaar or Darshan Kumar. It is irrelevant what The Hindu wrote: newspapers write about non-notable subjects all the time.

There are actually as many as one would like to have to write a start or c class article. Do we need anything else beside the sources found above to keep this article? I request nominator and everyone reading this to check
WP:INDAFD before nominating Indian related articles for deletion. I found these sources simply using 'google custom search engine' linked on there (
[1]).

I didn't check INDAFD because I was unaware of it's existence. When I was requested to undelete the article I moved it back and filed this afd almost immediately because so many different variations of notability and significance seem to exist on here these days that its almost impossible to track and analyze each article from all points of its given notability or significance. Its easier then to simply list here so the community can debate its notability and significance merits, which in turn helps sort out where the claimed notability and significance comes from. In fairness, in this particular case, if there are so many sources I would wonder why the article hasn't been expanded more.

Keep Meets notability criteria, as he has had significant coverages in multiple RS (please see the above post by Anupmehra for details). --
