Non-notable actor and/or filmmaker credited with only two recent films. The sources cited only include passing mentions, in the context of a film release (and are worded similarly, suggesting they may be based on the same press release). Fails WP:GNG / WP:FILMMAKER. -- DoubleGrazing (talk) 09:26, 14 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Comment: The film choran is and indirect story telling of a controversial crime happened in Kerala named Abhaya Case. So I searched about the movie and the actor name. But there is an another athlete named praveen rana and on social media it is confused, some reports the hero with the picture of athlete. So I tried and i think there are some more references about the actor. HE is not only the actor but also director, producer and a business man. Insted of deleting the article, could anyone please help me to improve the article. Ambili123 (talk) 09:46, 14 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]

I proposed deletion on notability grounds. If you can find multiple, reliable, independent sources with significant enough coverage of the person, not their works or other associated subjects, to establish notability, then please cite them; that isn't the only improvement the article needs, but it is by far the most urgent one. --DoubleGrazing (talk) 09:59, 14 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Weak DeleteI found another one [1] but still not very strong. There is no reception of his work by any reputed media. Perhaps WP:TOOSOON Nomadicghumakkad (talk) 13:25, 14 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]

That's like the other sources, though — it's about the movie, not the person; and the phraseology is again similar so probably based on the same press release. --DoubleGrazing (talk) 15:09, 14 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Comment: He is not only an actor. He produced directed and Acted in the film Anan. In the second movie, he acted and the produced under his production company. Some more references are here. But citing so many links there on aticle might look spam thats why i added less. https://www.newindianexpress.com/cities/kochi/2020/sep/04/silver-lining-in-the-world-of-cinema-2192076.html , https://www.mathrubhumi.com/movies-music/news/praveen-rana-anan-movie-helps-film-workers-during-lock-down-1.5019129 Ambili123 (talk) 18:45, 14 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.
Please add new comments below this notice. Thanks, Spartaz ^Humbug! 20:15, 23 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Comment: Already there are some more links and also one more user supported article. Keep the article Ambili123 (talk) 12:17, 26 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Delete as per nom: The primary coverage of the sources are about the movie and not about the subject. They are just trivial mentions about the person. Fails GNG as well as FILMMAKER. Kichu🐘 ^{Need any help?} 17:54, 26 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]
