• Okay, I rarely take part in these discussions and I admit I don't know exactly how you interpret WP:ENT. But Basnet has 30K+ Facebook followers, one movie he directed (Mr. Virgin) has an article here (recently created but not challenged, at least not yet) and one movie he played in also has an article, Dui Rupaiyan, which has been around for years. And several newspapers have written about him. - Alexis Jazz 05:04, 26 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Having lots of followers on social media doesn't satisfy our inclusion criteria. The notability of the film he directed is questionable and it likely failed WP:NFILM that require at least 2 full length reviews and there is only one since it was released and there is no evidence if Basnet played a significant role in Dui Rupaiyan.

• Delete as WP:TOOSOON. He seems notable but not Wikipedia notable yet. Apparently, he is well respected in Nepali film and theatre because of his achievements in Mumbai. But the list of his works don't meet WP:ENT and there is not enough for WP:GNG. Even so, if it were more than just the Hindu that had coverage about his clowning in India, I would have supported keep. There isn't enough for a WP:BLP yet. It could be restored to draft on request once there is one proper WP:SIGCOV or one other major work (Mr. Virgin seems countable) or one major role. As it is, the coverage is vague ("he has done multiple TV roles and adverts", "he has got a lot of film offers in Nepal", "he was [also there] in [this theatrical production]", etc.) not bothering to once comment on the specifics or the quality of his work (suggesting he played minor roles).
