Delete. I'm not quite seeing notability here, at least not yet. Pandey's appearances have all been in secondary/supporting roles, so invoking WP:NACTOR's "significant roles in multiple notable films" criterion would probably be a stretch. I don't think the awards mentioned move the needle too much either. Of the sources cited, the only one that discusses Pandey in depth (not just a passing mention) is this one. While it seems to be from a reliable outlet, the story seems to be mostly sourced to an interview with Pandey himself, raising independence questions. Moreover, a single source is not enough to meet the GNG, and my attempts to search for coverage in English and Nepali have come up empty-handed. While Pandey may become notable in the future, I don't think he's crossed that threshold yet, although I'm glad to reconsider if there are additional Nepali-language sources that I've missed.

I think redirect to this would be a better option than delete. If he is unable to pass these criteria. Is award is enough to pass the notability criteria except of GNG. Fade258 (talk) 05:32, 1 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Lists like that one generally only include notable people, so if Pandey isn't notable he should be removed from the list (and thus there'd be no point to a redirect). The awards probably aren't enough on its own: neither qualifies as the sort of "well-known and significant award or honor" that contributes to notability. I'd be fine with draftifying the article as an alternative to deletion, if you'd like, since there's a chance that he'll become notable in future.

But he played a significant role in notable tele-films/setial of Nepal in Tito Satya and Jire Khursani. Fade258 (talk) 05:03, 2 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]
