This film is under sourced and not notable. This page was created for a film that has highly negative reviews and has been mocked by other films. DragoMynaa (talk) 05:58, 5 February 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Comment. A bad review is still a review and contributes towards establishing notability. Eastmain (talk • contribs) 06:09, 5 February 2020 (UTC)[reply]
comment I agree with Eastmain. I havent performed the search yest, but the "critical reception" section in article is unsourced. There some interesting arguments in previous AfD, but they were not based on policies. I am totally in for bypassing the bureaucracy on the basis of WP:Wikipedia is not a bureaucracy, as long as it can be proven what was claimed in previous AfD (December 2009). The film doesnt pass the WP:NFILM. As I didnt perform a search yet, I dont know if the film passes WP:GNG. In case it doesnt, it can be selectively merged with lead actor Sam Anderson (Tamil actor)'s article, who currently has a stub-class article. —usernamekiran (talk) 12:03, 5 February 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Eastmain, which review are you referring to vote keep. I would like to assess it. Please share the links. DBig Xrayᗙ 13:11, 13 February 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Weak keep Undersourced and should be cleaned up, but I see notable actors have starred in it. Ambrosiawater (talk) 20:23, 16 February 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Comment: This is the only source I was able to find, but it is about the film's star, not the film itself: https://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/city/chennai/Sam-Anderson-from-Erode-goes-viral/articleshow/17083300.cms Dflaw4 (talk) 12:10, 26 February 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Question to Nominator: Hi, DragoMynaa, do you have access to the negative reviews which you referred to in your nomination? It would be helpful to see them for the purposes of this discussion, I think. Dflaw4 (talk) 12:10, 26 February 2020 (UTC)[reply]
No, I do not have any. Based on other Tamil films that mock his role in this film, this film was not popular/notable (ran only in 4 theatres^[1]) but was notorious. This article should exist only if sources relating to this film are found. --DragoMynaa

Okay, thanks, DragoMynaa. I don't feel in a position to vote on this one, but I agree with you—sources are needed. I would, however, argue that notoriety (supported by sources, of course) is equivalent to notability. Dflaw4 (talk) 03:41, 27 February 2020 (UTC)[reply]
