Film director or producers are not given an automatic free pass over WP:BIO just because they exist — their ability to qualify for Wikipedia articles is determined by criteria at WP:AUTHOR. As per this article, the subject directed two films (both non-notable at least by WP standards) which means basically fails WP:AUTHOR..

The article further claim, the subject has worked as assistant director in a TV show and a film, but assistant directors are not something that would be expected to have an article on English Wikipedia, unless they meet GNG. Search doesn't produce any substantial information about the person either which means fail basic GNG as well. Saqib ( talk) 17:41, 21 April 2018 (UTC) reply

  • Delete. My searches turned up nothing either. The three sources in the article are promotional interviews plugging the 2018 film Krina. They do not demonstrate notability either of that film or of its director. Fails WP:NBIO. Narky Blert ( talk) 15:45, 22 April 2018 (UTC) reply
