I'll review this. It might take me a few days to complete the review. Mike Christie (talk - contribs - library) 15:02, 8 April 2023 (UTC)

I'll start with spotchecks of the sources.

• FN 30 cites "After making her acting debut as the lead in the 2009 Kannada-language film Ullasa Utsaha, Gautam made her Bollywood debut in a leading role in Shoojit Sircar's romantic comedy Vicky Donor (2012). Co-starring opposite debutante Ayushmann Khurrana, Annu Kapoor, and Dolly Ahluwalia, she portrayed Ashima Roy, a Bengali woman who falls in love with the titular character, a Punjabi lad from the Arora family, and gets to know about his past after their marriage." I see no mention of Ullasa Utsaha, and the source doesn't support "romantic comedy", or the names of her costars, or in fact most of the details.
• FN 36 cites "In 2015, Gautam appeared alongside Varun Dhawan and Nawazuddin Siddiqui in Sriram Raghavan's action thriller Badlapur." Verified.
• FN 48 cites "She next reunited with Khurrana in Amar Kaushik's comedy-drama Bala, a satire on physical attractiveness, which was released on 7 November 2019. Also featuring Bhumi Pednekar, the film opened to positive reviews, with Gautam unanimously receiving acclaim for her portrayal of Pari Mishra, a ditsy Tik Toker and a part-time model hailing from Lucknow, who, upon finding out about her husband's baldness, feels cheated and leaves him." The release date is not in the source. I don't think it really supports "satire on physical attractiveness" either. There's also nothing to support "unanimously", or that she's from Lucknow, or that her husband is bald.
• FN 57 cites "Gautam was cast in the lead role of Naina Jaiswal, a playschool teacher who takes 16 children hostage. On 17 February 2022, the film premiered on Disney+ Hotstar." The source doesn't support "playschool" -- it only says "school" -- and doesn't give the number of children taken hostage. And a minor point: the source is dated 10 February so we can't use it to definitely say something happened on 17 February.
• FN 31 cites "The film, which marked Bollywood actor John Abraham's production debut, received positive reviews from critics and proved to be a major commercial success as one of the highest-grossing films of the year with worldwide grossing of ₹645 million (US$3.9 million). For her debut performance, Gautam received critical acclaim as well as several awards and nominations, including the award for Best Female Debut (tied with Ileana D'Cruz for Barfi!) at the Zee Cine Awards, and a nomination under the same category at the 58th Filmfare Awards." The source appears just to be some celebrity stats at bollywoodhungama.com which covers none of this information.

Four out of the five citations I checked had problems. I'm going to fail this on that basis. I would suggest going through every citation before renominating it -- a spotcheck must come back clean for the GA to be promoted. Mike Christie (talk - contribs - library) 15:29, 8 April 2023 (UTC)
