• Keep the nominator has proceeded without WP:BEFORE. The person clearly passes WP:ENT and WP:GNG verified by WP:RS listed in the article itself. I am neither connected nor subject to WP:COI or WP:UPE. I have decided to create and expand redirects only I found them to be notable enough. Thank you.

  Also, I have not impersonated. Its the same 'Malabika' Sen where Bengali speaking people do spell her name as 'Malobika'. All the references are of the same person only. Thank you. Run n Fly (talk) 15:04, 16 April 2021 (UTC)[reply]

• Keep Seems to pass GNG based on its very many refs. --Tagishsimon (talk) 15:32, 16 April 2021 (UTC)[reply]
• Delete, I tried to clean another article Anushree Das, created by the same creator of this article. Leaving this article clean up on someone else. It has many unreliable sources. I did not find any notable fact about the actress/dancer. No in-depth coverage for her at all, no way passing WP:NACTOR nor passing WP:GNG as the references provided only make passing mentions. Chirota (talk) 23:54, 16 April 2021 (UTC)[reply]

  But, she passes WP:ENT as she has performed and doing significant roles in multiple WP:NTV soap operas mentioned in the article with proper sources. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Run n Fly (talk • contribs) 14:06, 18 April 2021 (UTC)[reply]

  In fact I discovered her being the model for mudras in this book → Thankamani, Kutty (2019). Bharatanatyam. Prism Books Private Limited. ISBN 978-93-88478-16-8., but cannot present it because images are hidden in the preview of Google Books. Thank you Run n Fly (talk) 06:28, 20 April 2021 (UTC)[reply]
