Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Jayaram Kailas (2nd nomination)

The following discussion is an archived debate of the proposed deletion of the article below. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made on the appropriate discussion page (such as the article's talk page or in a deletion review). No further edits should be made to this page.

The result was delete. Main claim to fame seems to be a film that was previously deleted. Recommendations of those accounts that seem to be very new and very focused on only this topic were given pretty light consideration. I have some concerns about possible sockpuppetry in this discussion. Joyous! Noise! 02:44, 14 March 2023 (UTC)[reply]

The article was soft deleted a few weeks back. My concerns remains the same. The only notable film directed by the subject is Akkaldhamayile Pennu. This is not enough to establish notability according to WP:GNG. The only useful source that has been found is an interview regarding the film. Other sources are about an unreleased film titled Ambalamukkile Visheshangal. There is no in-depth coverage outside of this source other than some brief mentions to meet GNG. To satisfy WP:FILMMAKER, the subject's works must have received any major awards. Other than Akkaldhamayile Pennu receiving special jury mention at Kerala Film Critics Association Awards, there are no other claims to establish notability per WP:FILMMAKER.

Delete: Fails WP:GNG and WP:FILMMAKER. I would weakly support salt as well, as I suspect folks won't get the message. UtherSRG (talk) 17:36, 6 March 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Comment: Akkaldhamayile Pennu, the film directed by him, is not a notable film as it fails WP:NFILM and there are no reviews in a google search. I have also nominated that film for deletion.

Delete: Searched for sources in English as well as Malayalam. Unfortunately reliable sources are not present other than those already present in the article. 111.92.118.94 (talk) 08:33, 7 March 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Reply This IP has edited only on one day and that too mainly for giving delete comment in discussions of this page and the related page. It maybe the nominator or the one who desperately trying to delete both these pages. I don't know why they doing such tactics to delete these pages Christopheronthemove (talk) 17:03, 11 March 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Delete: He has directed one movie and most of the references are about the movie. The award is not that recognisable ~~ — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2A02:908:1010:2900:4423:2CC8:73B9:AE64 (talk) 15:21, 11 March 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Keep Would seem notable, according to some sources on the page or this review/interview in Silverscreenindia, for example.— MY OH MY! 17:27, 11 March 2023 (UTC)[reply]
You have made an incorrect assessment of the source. The source pertains to an unreleased film directed by Jayaram Kailas, which does not contribute towards establishing notability according to the WP:GNG. To establish notability, we require sources that provide in-depth coverage of the subject, which are currently unavailable. Akevsharma (talk) 00:00, 12 March 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Keep As non trivial notability is proved Vishnu005clt (talk) 17:37, 11 March 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Note:This user has made very few edits outside to this topic and their last recent edit was in December 2022. I am curious as to why an inactive account is now suddenly jumping into an AFD discussion. This is now turning to a venue for sockpuppetry. Akevsharma (talk) 00:04, 12 March 2023 (UTC)[reply]

To the closing admin: Note that certain accounts with a single purpose, which were created after the opening of this AFD, as well as some sleeper accounts that appeared after this AFD commencement, have now appeared to vote here. This is now becoming a venue of sockpuppetry. Of particular importance, Jehowahyereh, who requested the restoration of this previously soft-deleted article, has been confirmed to have abused Wikipedia by using multiple accounts. I request that the closing admin take note of this and a look at Jehowahyereh's talk page to obtain a clearer understanding. Akevsharma (talk) 00:10, 12 March 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Comment: The sole justification for keeping the article intact was the fact that the individual had won a special jury award for directing the movie "Akkaldhamayile Pennu" at the Kerala Film Critics Association Awards. However, as the article about the movie itself has been removed as per Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Akkaldhamayile Pennu. This makes the subject the director of a single non- notable film.
