Fails WP:ANYBIO and WP:NACTOR. Multiple fringe roles in movies and even then some of the films are B-grade stuff. For an interesting example, over Vetri_Kodi_Kattu, he appears as a bus ticket inspector and that's quite great, given that I was unable to determine any credit assigned to the subject in a majority of the films. ∯WBG^converse 16:09, 30 April 2019 (UTC)

• Delete Fails WP:NACTOR and WP:GNG, as there is a lack of reliable sources regarding the subject. Jmertel23 (talk) 17:09, 30 April 2019 (UTC)
• Don't Delete it Mr WBG, U doesnt knew about Bayilvan Ranganathan, he acted as a villain, supporting actor and as a well known comedian along with Vadivelu. Won Mr. Chennai, then was called as Bayilvan by Dr. Chief minister MGR. A stunt master too--Wiki tamil 100 (talk) 08:25, 1 May 2019 (UTC)
• Very silly nomination because even tamil wikipedia refers him as one of the tamil comedians.
• Delete - no reliable independent references - IMDB is not a reliable source - does not meet WP:ANYBIO or WP:NACTOR - Epinoia (talk) 03:57, 6 May 2019 (UTC)

- Comment - the repeated pleas to keep the article suggest that there is an element of promotion at work WP:NOTPROMOTION, WP:SPIP - Epinoia (talk) 04:38, 7 May 2019 (UTC)

• Then wikipedia isn't a reliable source ah. Correct! Tamil wikipedia speaks him as one of the best tamil comedian.--Wiki tamil 100 (talk) 04:41, 6 May 2019 (UTC)

Comment - see WP:OTHERLANGS - not a compelling argument - Epinoia (talk) 14:18, 6 May 2019 (UTC)

• First he is an actor of the 80s and early 90s, now he isn't acting in any movies with major roles. But till u can find him as one of the best comedians in Tamil cinema among Tamil people. Medias only cover the uptodate info, forgets the other.--Wiki tamil 100 (talk) 04:17, 7 May 2019 (UTC)
