Comment - I reviewed some film reviews in linked articles for films she has directed, e.g. for Sanam Teri Kasam The Hindu, IANS in the Hindustan Times, in this article, there is also The Indian Express; for Lucky: No Time for Love, BBC, India Today; for I Love New Year, Filmfare, NDTV; for Yaariyan 2, Firstpost, TimesNow. I think with multiple reviews for multiple films, WP:DIRECTOR notability has support, and this article could be updated to include secondary coverage, and to remove the unreliable sources and promotional content.

Have you considered WP:NEWSORGINDIA Looks like The Indian Express is problematic, especially when we're talking about establishing notability. Graywalls (talk) 03:34, 14 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]
I am aware of these concerns generally, but for the Indian Express review in this article, this is bylined, not "Brand Solutions" content, and it is a 1-star review. I also removed many sources from this article that appeared to be promotional press-release style coverage, and have not considered them as support for notability. Also, the Firstpost review was not glowing, to say the least, but did speak to Rao's other work in addition to the reviewed film. Beccaynr (talk) 03:55, 14 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]

you sure? Graywalls (talk) 03:34, 14 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Yes, I'm prettty confident in Beccaynr's ability to analyse an article for notability. scope_creep^Talk 11:32, 14 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Comment - While I think there is more work that can be done, I have made updates to the article to incorporate reviews, including with an assist from WP:ICTFSOURCES, and to remove non-RS and what appears to be promotional content. I think keep is supported per WP:DIRECTOR#3 per multiple notable works with multiple reviews, including secondary coverage of her collective body of work.
