Many external links are provided. All hoax. None of the links claim any single sentence in the article. Not a notable person. HARSH (talk) 11:40, 28 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]

I think it is very clear that this article be deleted as soon as possible. All the links provided in the article have no information on the subject matter, many of which are empty. ~~The article creator is disgusted due to it being nominated for deletion for personal reasons. He has abused me here~~. HARSH (talk) 17:33, 28 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Delete. The person described in this article does not exist. If someone had appeared in that number of TV shows and films, they would have sufficient mention in the big national papers in English to easily reference an article. No mentions at all. I've tried the other transliterations of the name, same result. Some of the films don't appear to exist, as well. (I suspect some of the details, minus film and television appearances) may well describe a living person, but that's another matter.)--Shirt58 (talk) 04:15, 31 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Speedy Delete This appears to be a hoax. FurrySings (talk) 10:35, 31 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Speedy Delete per above. LlamaDude78 (talk) 19:25, 31 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]
An actor named 'Nishikant dixit' does seem to exist. A google search would reveal this. See [1]. A you tube search would give clippings and google would give images. He is obviously not a lead actor and not a celebrity, hence no in-depth media writeups. Does he meet the notability criteria? I dont know. May the other editors decide. It appears that Nishikant dixit is a professional actor and has acted in many films, and hence qualifies better than amateur short time celebrities like Santhosh Pandit who has survived many AfDs just because he was a media candy for over an year. But I do not yet know whether 'Nishikant dixit' satisfies the notability criteria independently other than by such comparisons. Austria156 (talk) 03:43, 4 September 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Relist comment: Firstly, when this was relisted (somewhat prematurely), it seems that it was removed from the August 28 listing. secondly, most of the deletion arguments support deletion because the article is a hoax; Austria156 has demonstrated that the article is not a hoax, so none of these argument are relevant any more. A discussion on whether Dixit is notable would be helpful now. ItsZippy ^{(talk • contributions)} 10:43, 5 September 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion so a clearer consensus may be reached.

Relisting comment: Last relist to invite more discussion. Reminder for next week's closing admin though: since Austria156 and ItsZippy has pointed out that this isn't a hoax, if no one else adds to the discussion, it should be closed as "no quorum, default to keep" rather than "delete".

I had nominated the article for the reason it being hoax and not notable. The article isn't hoax but the Notability criteria cannot be established here. Harsh (talk) 14:51, 13 September 2012 (UTC)[reply]

weak delete If you believe IMDb, there is definitely an actor by this name. However, there is no source that I can see for any of the biographical data. He is barely scraping at the edges of notability: I'm not that up on film notability but I have to wonder whether they would support having an article that consists of nothing more than a list of roles.

Delete owing to a lack of reliable sources with which to write an encyclopedic entry and demonstrate that he meets the notability criteria for an article. The only thing I can find is some kind of a mention in the Hindi cinema year book: Volume 6 where his name seems to be listed with others. His list of roles suggest that he is a working actor but not one that performs leading roles and so it seems to me that he is unlikely to meet the criteria for an article in the encyclopedia. --Malcolmxl5 (talk) 00:37, 14 September 2012 (UTC)[reply]
