The result was redirect‎ to Riyaz Khan#Early and personal life. Discounted the two IP keeps that geolocate to the same area as sockpuppet IPs of the checkuser-blocked article creator. Most of the other participants converged on redirect as the appropriate solution for now. RL0919 (talk) 14:02, 10 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]

• I find DareshMohan's explanation convincing and agree with him that redirect to Pencil (film)#Cast is a good solution for now.-My, oh my! (Mushy Yank) 14:23, 17 November 2023 (UTC) add. But really not opposed to Keep as his notoriety is also indeed clearly associated with Bigg Boss and a redirect would make that pehaps unclear. -My, oh my!

• Keep. Coverage by the Times of India, on multiple occasions, is more than enough to establish notability per WP:NACTOR. Owen× ☎ 17:34, 25 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]

• Keep. Has major roles in atleast more then 2 films and has appeared in a major and highly popular reality show in India and is exposed to a high ratio of audiences in the Indian entertainment industry. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2001:8003:9425:5800:C58C:FF1D:D300:BA78 (talk) 01:28, 29 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]

• Keep: Provides enough information to show the individual is notable in the industry. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 101.185.219.179 (talk) 06:49, 3 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]

• Redirect, ToF counts as one source so no matter how in-depth and substantial any of those pieces are they still do not amount to GNG. This is even ignoring the tabloid quality of the ToF articles.

I'm sorry but what is "ToF"?-My, oh my! (Mushy Yank) 00:04, 4 December 2023 (UTC)? (did you mean The Times of India? if so, only one 2 articles from this periodical are cited on the page, one addressing directly and in-depth the career of Shariq Hassan, the second clearly there only for verification of his presence in the cast of a future film.)[reply]

This was addressing the claim above that Coverage by the Times of India, on multiple occasions, is more than enough to establish notability per WP:NACTOR. JoelleJay (talk) 06:24, 5 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]

OK, thanks, it's generally abbreviated as TOI rather than ToF, though. -My, oh my! (Mushy Yank) 11:02, 5 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Yes, that works for me! (but not strongly opposed to keep) -My, oh my! (Mushy Yank) 08:30, 5 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]

• Comment This is his summary: Shariq Hassan, an actor who appeared in the film Pencil (2016) and the son of Riyaz Khan. See
  Bigg Boss (Tamil season 2)#Housemates. @OwenX: He doesn't meet WP:NACTOR now, also The Times of India is considered to have a reliability between no consensus and generally unreliable. It has a bias in favor of the Indian government and is known to accept payments from persons and entities in exchange for positive coverage. per Wikipedia:Reliable sources/Perennial sources#Sources.
