Procedural AfD of duplicate of another article currently under AfD with a slightly different spelling. See Vamshi paidipally and AfD. Record nominator as neutral, as I don't know which spelling is proper, and the the film director has a half-dozen films with articles (merited or not, I haven't checked, and have little knowledge of 'Tollywood').

Keep: I checked the page history on both pages; the other article was created almost 8 years after this one was. I think that the other page should be deleted, as that one is a clear duplicate. Never mind, I read your comment on the other AFD - I see why you brought this one up, now. I agree with the rationale on the other AFD, so my vote on this is delete. -Fimatic ^{(talk | contribs)} 03:05, 7 January 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Comment: Based on a quick glance at the shear volume of references in the article concerning his most recent film, this director ought to be quite notable; the question is over which article has his name spelled correctly. Pax 03:21, 7 January 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Comment - I've recently merged any useful info from the Vamshi paidipally article over to this article that's under consideration here. AfD probably isn't the place that these kind of issues should be cleared up though. Guy1890 (talk) 05:27, 12 January 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion so a clearer consensus may be reached.

Keep as satisying GNG. I've added some references such as [1], [2] and [3], though more editing is needed. Anyone who could add Telugu language sources would be particularly helpful. 24.151.10.165 (talk) 18:14, 14 January 2015 (UTC)[reply]
Query: Do we have the spelling here correct? If so, then without other objections I would (1) withdraw my nomination here, and (2) urge recreating the other article as a redirect to this one. Pax 09:20, 19 January 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Vamsi and Vamshi both appear to be common transliterations from Telugu. It might be worthwhile to list alternatives as we do for Vamsi (film): "Vamsi (also known as Vamsee, Vamshi, or Vamshee)". 24.151.10.165 (talk) 16:38, 19 January 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Withdrawn. Pursuant to the conversation above, and with the deletion of the slightly different-named article, whose information has been merged into this one, along with other improvements, I am withdrawing this. Pax 00:49, 21 January 2015 (UTC)[reply]
