Comments by FrB.TG

"Irrfan Khan (born Sahabzade Irfan Ali Khan; 7 January 1967 – 29 April 2020), also known simply as Irrfan" - the article is not about Khan himself so you don't need the bold formatting, his birth name, date of birth and date of death here.
"known for his works in Hindi cinema, as well as his works in British films and Hollywood" - too wordy. I would just say "his works in Hindi cinema, as well as British films and Hollywood".
"He made his screen debut with the Academy Award nominated film Salaam Bombay! (1988)" - "Academy Award-nominated"
"Followed by a series of roles in films that failed to propel his career forward, he received critical acclaim" - Khan wasn't followed by a series of roles but his work in Salaam Bombay!. Also, the critical acclaim part needs to be sourced.
"The successful drama Life in a... Metro (2007) marked a turning point in Khan's career" - why was it a turning point in his career when he gave several critically acclaimed performances before it? This one also needs to be sourced.
"He rose to prominence with his portrayal of Paan Singh Tomar" - unsourced again and I'm not sure if he rose to prominence with this film. He was already an established actor long before it.
"earned him universal acclaim by the critics and audiences" - unsourced

Oppose. I'm stopping here as this has too many issues. The lead is poorly written and filled with vague claims. And given the length of Khan's career, I would expect the lead to be longer than this. FrB.TG (talk) 21:54, 14 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]

@FrB.TG some modification done. Would you look again? Twinkle1990 (talk) 12:21, 14 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]

I'm afraid my oppose still stands. Some of the issues I pointed out above still remain and they are a deal-breaker.

"Followed by a series of roles in films that failed to propel his career forward, he went on to play negative roles" - see above
"His portrayal of Paan Singh Tomar in the biographical sports drama Paan Singh Tomar (2012), which garnered him the National Film Award for Best Actor and a Filmfare Critics Award for Best Actor." Incomplete sentence
"His highest-grossing Hindi release came with the comedy-drama Hindi Medium (2017), which became a sleeper hit in India and China, which ranks among highest-grossing Indian films of all time and earned several awards including the Filmfare Award for Best Actor." Clunky writing"
There are major sourcing issues like I already mentioned above. Examples of unsourced claims ("Followed by a series of roles in films that failed to propel his career forward, he went on to play negative roles in the drama film", "The successful drama Life in a... Metro (2007) marked a turning point in Khan's career")
In my opinion, the entire lead needs to be rewritten and expanded to write more about his television roles, work between 2007 and 2012, and international parts.

I recommend that this nomination be withdrawn as it needs a lot of work that simply cannot be done within the FLC scope. FrB.TG (talk) 17:18, 14 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Accessibility review (MOS:DTAB)

Tables need captions, which allow screen reader software to jump straight to named tables without having to read out all of the text before it each time. Visual captions can be added by putting |+ caption_text as the first line of the table code; if that caption would duplicate a nearby section header, you can make it screen-reader-only by putting |+ {{sronly|caption_text}} instead.
Tables need row scopes on the "primary" column for each row, which in combination with column scopes lets screen reader software accurately determine and read out the headers for each cell of a data table. Row scopes can be added by adding !scope=row to each primary cell, e.g. | ''[[Salaam Bombay!]]'' becomes !scope=row style="color:white;" | ''[[Salaam Bombay!]]'' (on its own line, however, it can't be on the same line as the rest of the row). If the cell spans multiple rows with a rowspan, then use !scope=rowgroup instead.
Please see MOS:DTAB for example table code if this isn't clear. I don't return to these reviews until the nomination is ready to close, so ping me if you have any questions. --Pres N 01:12, 31 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Comment: I agree with FrB.TG above. This is nowhere close to ready and has been nominated on a whim. Should be withdrawn and closed. Krimuk2.0 (talk) 06:49, 15 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]
