The result was redirect to Baalveer. There's a rough consensus not to keep this as a standalone article, and broad support for redirect as an ATD. Owen× ☎ 17:14, 2 October 2024 (UTC)

Child actor with a major role for one season of Baalveer Returns, but otherwise appears to be cameo's and minor roles. Source coverage outside of the primary sources and interviews is short / passing mentions and some publicity puff pieces. Many of the sources are this person's Facebook / Instagram account which does not help show notability. Article should return to being a Redirect to Baalveer.

- Delete / Restore redirect - Not notable per WP:NACTOR. Most of the sources are social media posts, very few WP:Independent. - Fylindfotberserk (talk) 14:05, 25 September 2024 (UTC)
- I am sorry but he DOES meet WP:NACTOR. -My, oh my! (Mushy Yank) 15:13, 25 September 2024 (UTC)
- Keep: At least two roles in the main cast of Balika Vadhu 2 and Baalveer Returns, that are notable productions, have him meet WP:NACTOR. Other significant roles (recurring roles, in Pandya Store for example) and coverage allowing verification. Remove social media if you wish. -My, oh my! (Mushy Yank) 15:12, 25 September 2024 (UTC)
- The show article has him as the teenage version of the main actor, and the provided source just says he will appear. There's nothing I can see to say that Sayani had a significant role. Can you find a good source to support this? I realize I'm probably missing some context here, but that's the problem with the article, there isn't much context. A review would be greatly helpful - but only a publicity source? Not as much. Ravensfire (talk) 15:28, 25 September 2024 (UTC)
- Thank you. https://www.latestly.com/entertainment/tv/baalveer-returns-dev-joshi-and-vansh-sayani-had-a-fun-time-exploring-the-street-food-of-delhi-1561972.html (not the best of sites but for an uncontroversial statement, it might serve) states he plays one of the "lead roles"; "this time the main lead of Baal Veer will be played by child artist Vansh Sayani. Vansh was last seen playing the role of of Kohra's son in Nazar. ", states the TOI (and again, can be considered an uncontroversial statement). Also see: https://filmyfocus.com/celebs/vansh-sayani. There's more in more or less reliable sources. I would say it allows to verify the significance of that particular role. -My, oh my! (Mushy Yank) 17:49, 25 September 2024 (UTC)
- He's also in the recurring cast of Dil_Se_Dil_Tak, for example. I think he clearly meets the SNG. -My, oh my! (Mushy Yank) 17:53, 25 September 2024 (UTC)

- Delete: Per nom, opposed to Keep; not opposed to redirect. M S Hassan 📬✍🏻 16:05, 25 September 2024 (UTC)

- Delete. 17 sources on the page and all are poor. 11 of these sources are unreliable, Instagram, Facebook, YouTube and unreliable WP:ICTFSOURCES and the other 6 are passing mention and not independent. Subject fails WP:NACTOR. RangersRus (talk) 17:57, 25 September 2024 (UTC)
- Delete / Restore redirect - No WP:SIGCOV in independent sources to establish notability. --John B123 (talk) 19:27, 25 September 2024 (UTC)
- Keep - The actor is notable for playing major roles in two shows and recurring role in a movie. Instead of redirecting or deleting the page, it must be improved by adding reliable sources.
