Oppose deletion, word by word citations/refernces not needed. acted in many teledramas and films means acted in more than one (no need of citations for each). Mentioning subject's profession with citations isn't Puffery or promotional.DilJco (talk) 01:07, 3 August 2015 (UTC) User:DilJco is the creator of this article. Disclosure added per WP:AFDFORMAT[reply]

Comment - Ref [6] states " he graced the Muhurath ceremony of a teledrama", Ref [7] indicates he appeared in a (non-notable) teledrama but not whether he had a featured role or a bit part, the same with ref [7] and ref [8]. The criteria for WP:NACTOR include "Has had significant roles in multiple notable films, television shows, stage performances, or other productions." - no reliable references have been provided to verify this. Also comments saying he is 'famous' without any citations/references justifying the claim is puffery. Dan arndt (talk) 05:30, 3 August 2015 (UTC)[reply]
