Manjula (actress)[edit]

Contested Prod. Fails WP:N and WP:BLP. I also cannot find any reliable sources that backs up the "Played in 100 films" claim. The article does not state her full name, so that might be a reason. Excirial^{(Contact me,Contribs)} 08:23, 22 June 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Keep She's definitely acted in the range of a 100 films (I don't know the exact no, but I've seen at least 20). It's very difficult to find news refs pre-2000 in Southern Indian publications as they aren't online, I'll find some and add in the next couple of days. -SpacemanSpiff (talk) 14:36, 22 June 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Keep Heroine of such stars like Sivaji Ganesan, Gemini Ganesan, and M. G. Ramachandran. Notability is clearly demonstrated by the sources provided in the article. Salih (talk) 14:56, 22 June 2009 (UTC)[reply]

The article has combined information about two Manjulas, viz. Manjula Vijayakumar and Manjula Ghattamaneni. Switching to neutral. Salih (talk) 17:14, 23 June 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Oops, that was my mistake, I mistakenly told Pablo that as I looked at one of the production credits and assumed incorrectly, I'll fix this! -SpacemanSpiff (talk) 21:50, 23 June 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Keep per the updates by Pablomismo and Spaceman7Spiff. Salih (talk) 06:48, 25 June 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Keep Easily passes notability. Priyanath ^talk 15:07, 22 June 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Weak keep, if she's so notable, how come that none of the films she has acted in appear on IMDB? See here. Tris2000 (talk) 15:25, 22 June 2009 (UTC)[reply]

That's one of the reasons IMDB isn't considered RS. Many foreign language movies aren't included purely because no one submits them, and this is especially true for pre-internet era movies. -SpacemanSpiff (talk) 16:07, 22 June 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Keep Excellent rescue work by User:Pablomismo; I see no more reason to delete. Excirial^{(Contact me,Contribs)} 10:06, 23 June 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Comment This is not out of the woods yet; I suspect that the original article may have combined information about two Manjulas (it is a common South Indian name), and I may have then compounded that error. Please see the talk page, where any input will be most welcome. pablo_hablo. 14:20, 23 June 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Update I have removed the information about Manjula Ghattamaneni. Article still needs some (hard-to-find!) references, and a filmography section would be good! Ultimately this article will need to be moved to Manjula Vijayakumar. pablo_hablo. 21:55, 23 June 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Keep. The article as it stands is a viable stub. Finding more online references is a tricky proposition mainly due to the fact that the zenith of her career was pre-internet . Added to that there is no reliable, comprehensive filmography that I can find."Everybody" (in India) knows how famous she is, but "nobody" has got around to documenting it; however this stub can be built upon. pablo_hablo. 21:49, 24 June 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Not to mention that there were four other Manjulas, also actresses, three of whom had IMDB profiles but harldy any news coverage, and one other who was apparently quite famous, but no IMDB profile like this Manjula. I didn't even know that this was such a common actress name. -SpacemanSpiff (talk) 16:47, 25 June 2009 (UTC)[reply]
