I am the creator of the article and would like to raise the point that the previous 2 deletions were held for articles created by other editors. Another point to be noted - This article was accepted by new article reviewers after a lot of debate. My talk page is full of it. You could check it out. To be frank, I haven't been much involved with the article lately, and do find a lot of statements without citation. But they could be edited out if necessary. All I'm saying is that my version was approved by the reviewers. If a consensus of deletion approaches. I request you to consider the old version of the article dating back to 2020 December. The article was much shorter, but good enough to survive in Wikipedia. If a general agreement to keep the article is reached, all good.

Atlantis77177, Your concern previous 2 deletions were held for articles created by other editors. What is the difference between previous two editors and you? TheBirdsShedTears (talk) 13:44, 29 December 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Karikku is one of a notable YouTube channel in Kerala and the top channel in terms of web series and original content. Their group of channels are creating a wave in the Malayalam language and have even bagged award for their digital content. Tobinkoshy (talk) 21:03, 18 December 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Keep The previous deletion discussion was more than 2 years ago, and even then many references were listed. In the ensuing period, Karikku has managed to get more press even though they take a long while between sketches now. The platform is easily the most popular in the state of Kerala and I could find some good references about the platform as well as some discussing their recent episodes which are as listed -

"A shift in Malayali's viewing habits". The Hindu.
"The upward trajectory of Malayalam web series". The Hindu.
"Meet the creator of YouTube's viral 'Karikku' team". The Hindu.
"Malayalam content creator Karikku's debut sketch video on Netflix grabs eyeballs". The Hindu.
"Outgrowing cinema". Deccan Chronicle.
"Watch: New episode from popular Malayalam web series 'Karikku' goes viral". The News Minute.
"Watch: New episode from popular Malayalam web series 'Karikku' goes viral". The News Minute.
"Karikku's Kalakkachi arriving next month". Reporter Live.
"Karikku to make a movie out of 'Thera Para'? Motion poster released". Malayala Manorama.

All these and a million other articles which talk about 'Karikku' fame actors besides the references already on the page indicate the level of acceptance the platform has and this therefore passes WP:GNG. Jupitus Smart 17:34, 20 December 2021 (UTC)[reply]
