Revision 6999929 of "Dayanidhi Dahima" on simplewiki

{{RfD|Article creator being new and potentially SPA-aside, I have doubts about the claims. While I can see there's ample mentions and coverage about the subject, claimed awards and recognitions, I have my doubts about whether the films he was in/produced are notable. For example, The Times India article does not cite any author, which could mean it was syndicated from one of their press releases. Then there was the comment article (http://incredibleorissa.com/en/dayanidhi-dahima-film-maker-at-the-age-of-20/) - it could be simply a case of someone being jealous, or seeing that it may not necessarily be a real coverage? I'm not sure TBH, but thought I'd flag it for overall notability scrutiny.}}
