This started off as me helping an editor on Wikipedia "correct" some information on the article, but when I went to find some sources to back up even the most trivial information I hit a wall. 7 GNews hits and only a few tens of thousands of Google hits. Everything seems to be either a brief mention or promo for an upcoming film. Just not seeing the notability. Primefac ( talk) 13:08, 10 April 2020 (UTC) reply

• delete I don't know how or why this was ever accepted, there isn't a single rs that talks about Bhatt in any detail. Praxidicae ( talk)`
• Delete This article was also brought on Teahouse today, the user was blocked for legal threats. No notable movie from this actor, nor can I find any detailed coverage. Cedix ( talk) 17:49, 10 April 2020 (UTC) reply
• Comment She was once a major actress in the Gujarati film industry with more than 10 films with a few of them in the leading roles. She comes from an era where Gujarati films were not that mainstream and the same reasons her films don't have many mentions over the internet. Prior to 2015 Gujarati films don't have an internet presence or Wikipedia articles. See one of the most notable actors in the Gujarati industry Naresh Kanodia, none of his films has a Wikipedia article but many of them were big hits in Rural Gujarat. I accept the fact that Pranjal Bhatt has not many mentions over the internet but I am sure she must have good coverages in the print media during that time. She is also a winner of the Best actress from the Gujarat State Government in 2009. Here are a few references I could find. ^{[1] [2] [3] [4]}

The9Man TOI was recently deprecated as an RS and in particular those TOI pieces you posted are why. They're published by TNN which basically just publishes press releases as journalistic pieces. Praxidicae ( talk) 20:50, 10 April 2020 (UTC) reply

@ Praxidicae:, I am aware about the TOI issue. I have listed it as mentions not WP:RS. My concern I have mentioned in the comment. - The9Man ^{( Talk)} 04:08, 11 April 2020 (UTC) reply

• Delete she was involved in a cinema complex that at the time was not getting wide attention, which is a sign of not being notable. Not every credited role adds up to notability. John Pack Lambert ( talk) 18:27, 13 April 2020 (UTC) reply
• Weak Keep: There are certainly issues here, but would the award from her government meet WP:ANYBIO? A "redirect" could have worked here, but none of the films she has starred in have pages of their own. "Draftifying" may be another option, but I'm not sure if it would yield further sources.

Dflaw4 No, only top level country level or state level awards are qualified for that. This does not look like a top level state award. Cedix ( talk) 11:27, 17 April 2020 (UTC) reply

Thank you, Cedix! Dflaw4 ( talk) 11:34, 17 April 2020 (UTC) reply
