The coverage (references, external links, etc.) does not seem sufficient to justify this article passing Wikipedia:General notability guideline nor the more detailed Wikipedia:Notability (biographies) requirement. WP:BEFORE did not reveal any significant coverage on Gnews, Gbooks or Gscholar. Coverage mentions him in passing. Perhaps his film is notable, it does seem to be getting some publicity (but pretty much all I see is the usual press-release rewrites in Indian media). All he has (according to the article) is " the prestigious Bihar Government Award for rekindling bilateral ties between India and Poland" (also our article seems incomplete, his filmography starts in 2021 but he got an local gov't award already in 2017??). Sadly, in the current form there is nothing to confirm this reward is really prestigious, nor that the subject meets NBIO, but there is plenty to suggest we are dealing with the run-of-the-mill attempt to use Wikipedia to promote someone (without following WP:COI practices - the account that created this bio has written several others that are very similar, but no COI declaration has been made).

A note to administer Sir, I beleive this person passes GNG as he has multiple reliable news sources as The Hindu [1], New Indian Express [2], Times of India [3] [4], Mid Day [5] [6], Outlook [7], IANS [8]. Apart from this he has many good articles. I request you to check properly and then make a decision. Thank You. Suchayaar ( talk) 16:58, 28 May 2021 (UTC)
As per my knowledge and requirement of Wikipedia:General notability guideline and Wikipedia:Notability (biographies) requirement, a person is notable if he is mentioned in list of secondary credible source of wikipedia which says “People are presumed notable if they have received significant coverage in multiple published secondary sources that are reliable, intellectually independent of each other, and independent of the subject.”
The page “Vikash Verma” is surely falling under it, the person’s name is having a significant coverage in five credible sources which are on the list of reliable sources of wikipedia i.e. The Hindu, The New Indian Express, Telegraph, Rotten Tomatoes and Metacritic. On searching “Vikash Verma” we can see a knowledge panel created by google and a number of Gnews coverage on regular basis. Besides this there are more than 500 national and international (Polish, American, UK etc.) media coverage which cannot be considered as trivial coverage and simply ignored. Also, these articles do not fall under press release category and are in-depth on the subject.
We have read and known about him since our childhood. Since the internet came to India lately, many news about him were in the traditional newspapers. But still if you trace the person's media coverage uptil now, you can find the person has got regular and significant online media coverage from 2001 to 2021, i.e. almost 20 years. Starting from article on Rediff.com and various others till date.
Not only this, “Vikash Verma” is credited for the bollywood blockbuster film “ Lagaan” which was released in 2001. His contribution in the films like Deewangee (2002), Padamshree Lalu Prasad (2005) as actor, Bhoomi(2017), PM Narendra Modi (2019) fulfilling the criteria of notability of creative professionals.
Last but not least, as you see, Vikash Verma is the director of the movie “No Means No”, which is already acclaimed by various credible media sites as India’s first Indo-Polish film. So, being director of India’s first Indo-polish films, this person is itself an encyclopedia worthy topic and again qualifying for the notability criteria for creative professional.
So if you look into the whole journey of the person from providing security services to Bill clinton, Sanjay dutt, Steave Seagel, Vinod Khanna, etc., acting and assisting various renowned movies(including Lagaan) and directing India’s first Indo-Polish film which is already acclaimed by credible media houses, Vikash verma is qualifying the notability guidelines of wikipedia and deserves a standalone page as per my understanding or please correct me if I am wrong anywhere.
So please, it's a humble request to consider these factors and KEEP the page. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Ashitamlk ( talk • contribs) 12:37, 24 May 2021 (UTC)
About Vikash Verma's article - According to the news sources He passes GNG as he has impressive and enough coverage in multiple reliable sources. About Bihar Government Award- I saw this on a news article that's why I added it. If you feel anything wrong with it then I can remove it but I feel there is no issue to have this award on the article. Apart from this, You should check all news articles again.
