Perhaps others see it differently, but I get the impression that the sources about this actor/businessperson aren't actually independent reliable sources, but press releases / self-penned hagiographies pretending to be real articles. Take e.g. the first source
[1], from the Times of India (or something similar), used to source his awards and nominations. All very high praise, but it seems to be impossible to find out for which series or films he actually did receive these awards for? His IMDb entry (given as an external link) is empty...

Delete this is almost certainly promotional,
WP:NOTPROMO. For now, I've removed the most obvious advertisement for the subject's own product. Also, the so-called "Dada Saheb Phalke Indian Television award" seems to be a knock-off award. —

Delete - First, PROMO is never a reason for deletion through AfD. If it is a case of TNT, it can be done through Speedy. That aside, the references are classic
WP:NEWSORGINDIA so cannot be used to show notability. Notice they are all published within the last 60 days, written in promotional tone, and in publications that allow sponsored content. --

I believe it would be
WP:DEL-REASON#1 since NOT would be criteria for speedy deletion. Being that you went with an
WP:ATD and removed promotional content, and since AfC is
WP:NOTCLEANUP, I am not sure how that criteria would still apply so the !vote was puzzling. --

Comment - I have moved this back to mainspace; the creator draftified the article without discussing and without consensus.

I see you did the same with another AfD that was moved by creator. I attempted to move it back but see you fixed it before I could figure out the process. Thanks for doing that. --
