Non notable filmmaker. The sources are about the films he directed, not about him. A BEFORE search doesn't bring up anything that would help him pass WP:GNG or WP:DIRECTOR. Umakant Bhalerao (talk) 11:38, 17 June 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Delete: Looking at the history of the article, most of it is the subject adding vanity material, which is then removed by other editors. It is too early for an article about this director; he has not become notable yet.--Gronk Oz (talk) 23:58, 17 June 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Keep: There are numerous news sources for his notability.

Claiming that acceptable sources exist isn't enough. To establish notability, someone needs to cite acceptable (reliable, independent, with substantial discussion of the subject) soucres in the article. Maproom (talk) 12:00, 20 June 2021 (UTC)[reply]

@A2Z Pics: if you think that some of those are reliable sources which discuss the subject in detail, then please list just the best three so we can consider them.--Gronk Oz (talk) 03:42, 21 June 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Delete (still): I looked through the five sources which are listed above as being the very best available. None comes even close to the level of “in depth coverage” to establish notability. In particular they are:

1. Sooraj Tom is only mentioned in two sentences: one stating that he is directing a film, the other listing two past films – no details at all about him.

2. Sooraj Tom is only mentioned in one sentence, stating that he is directing a film – no details at all about him.

3. Sooraj Tom is only mentioned in one sentence, stating that he is directing a film – no details at all about him. (Note that this is almost word-for-word identical to number 2; they were obviously taken from the same news feed.)

4. Sooraj Tom is only mentioned in one sentence, stating that he is directing a film – no details at all about him.

5. Sooraj Tom is only mentioned in two partial sentences: one stating that he is directing a film, the other listing two past films – no details at all about him.
