The result was delete outright. I am invoking WP:SNOW and saying there is no way this article could possibly survive AfD. Any recreation may be speedy deleted under criteria G4, A7...or probably G5, given the creator's history. —C.Fred (talk) 00:47, 3 October 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Vicky (actor)

Non-notable actor. This article was originally a conflation of information about an actor (named Vicky Kadian) and a politician named Vikram Kadian. These do not appear to be the same person (the politician being rather older than 19). No reliable sources provided regarding actor Kadian's notability.

As a further note, this person's IMDb data appears to be largely falsified. WikiDan61^ChatMe!_ReadMe!! 18:02, 2 October 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Delete neither the unelected politician nor the actor are notable. The creator recently added the actor to top billing/high billing on film articles which have been around a while which previously never mentioned him in the articles and their references so he is either a bitpart actor or this is a complete hoax. The IMDb entry and imdb listed roles also seem a fabrication. There is also the possibility of sockpuppet activity. Atlantic306 (talk) 18:06, 2 October 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Withdrawn The author has moved the article back to draft space (with the edit summary It is not safe), so it is technically no longer eligible for deletion under AFD. WikiDan61^ChatMe!_ReadMe!! 18:14, 2 October 2017 (UTC)[reply]
And btw the article was moved back to draft space (incorrectly) possibly in an effort to evade Afd. Another editor has fixed the move to draft -- but as there may be Afd evasion I'm not sure if it should be closed or not. I'll let others decide. Bouncing articles between name spaces is occasionally done to make them "safe" from deletion at Afd and we should be wary of that. Shawn in Montreal (talk) 18:18, 2 October 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Delete - I'm inclined to think the AfD should continue, to make the article eligible for G4 in the case it's recreated and the issues are not addressed. I'm not really seeing much, at least in English, to indicate this person should be notable, and really there's not much on the draft itself that really blows A7 out of the water, and looking at their IMDB (likely written by the person themselves, given the "personal quote"), it looks like a lot of exceedingly minor roles, some un-credited, and many unnamed.
