The result was delete. The keep votes hold no weight as no reliable sources were provided to estabilsh notability. It is noted for the record that sources do not have to be online to be used here, so no prejudice against re-creation with appropriate sources to establish notability. —Darkwind (talk) 04:09, 19 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Created by a blocked sock puppet, no third party sources provided or found. PROD removed by editor asserting notability but when asked to provide verification of the claim said ""its hard to find any coverage on the internet." While the IMDB entry shows that it is a film, mere existence is not sufficient rationale for a stand alone article. -- TRPoD aka The Red Pen of Doom 18:14, 11 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Weak keep Though there is no coverage on the internet unfortunately, the film was distributed and exhibited all over Kerala [1] [2]. Also the people involved in the film including the director Jeassy and actor Mammootty are very much notable. JK (talk) 19:33, 11 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Keep: Apart from the links provided above, You can find the full movie uploaded in Youtube[3], with 100,000+ views. This was a successful commercial movie released in Kerala and the people associated with this movie are notable personalities, including Mammootty, Suresh Gopi, Parvathy, Ouseppachan, ONV Kurup, etc. Cheers, -- Aarem ^(Talk) 03:03, 12 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Delete: With no coverage in reliable independent sources provided, and apparently none forthcoming in the forseeable future, we have no evidence of notability whatsoever, regardless of how many times it may have been watched on YouTube. Article can be recreated in the future if sourcing is found, but from the discussion I've seen, I wouldn't hold my breath. Dominus Vobisdu (talk) 07:11, 13 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]
