Fails WP:BLP. The sourcing is largely limited to outlets listed at WP:NEWSORGINDIA and does not appear to provide the significant, reliable coverage needed to support a biography of a living person. Hirematviru (talk) 16:49, 28 June 2026 (UTC)

Keep. Wikipedia:NACTOR pass through significant roles (in his case, lead roles) in multiple notable productions, which include Thirumanam (TV series) and Aghori (Tamil-language film). ~2026-35976-24 (talk) 17:31, 28 June 2026 (UTC)—

- Weak Keep. I can see how WP:NACTOR is fulfilled through the notability of the productions Sid has participated in. Even if we question the reviews provided by sources like TOI, they undoubtedly verify the fact that Sid was a participant in each of these shows. I understand the argument that these sources may not meet the standard for WP:BLP, hence my 'weak', but I am also partial to the argument that these may be the only kind of media coverage that actors from minority backgrounds receive, and without definitive proof that such articles are unreliable in this specific case it may be a disservice to delete the article and thereby reduce minority presence on Wikipedia.

- Keep. I see how WP:NACTOR is passed. Sid has acted in 2 films and both in lead featured roles. He has also acted in notable television shows and participated in a hand full of popular reality shows as well. — Preceding unsigned comment added by ~2026-40833-85 (talk) 14:47, 20 July 2026 (UTC)
