Fails WP:FILMMAKER WP:GNG. UtherSRG (talk) 15:57, 3 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]

  • Note: This discussion has been included in the deletion sorting lists for the following topics: People, Actors and filmmakers, India, and Kerala. UtherSRG (talk) 15:57, 3 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]
  • @UtherSRG: How about WP:FILMMAKER #3 for Kappela: The person has created or played a major role in co-creating a significant or well-known work... In addition, such work must have been the primary subject of multiple independent periodical articles or reviews...? Jay 💬 16:20, 3 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]
    So, IIRC, the subject-specific notability requirements only indicate that there should be references available given those qualifications, that failing at a subject-specific is good enough to say there's no notability, but that in passing a subject-specific only means there's an expectation that enough material should be able to be found to pass WP:GNG. Are there references that can be found to support the notability of this subject? (And I want to debate how major a role producer is wrt filmmaking... but I won't.) That said, this is more a pro forma AFD given the previous soft deletion and re-creation. I have very little skin in this game. - UtherSRG (talk) 16:41, 3 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]
    I'm going only by your nomination which differs from the previous which did mention GNG explicitly. And I see that you haven't agreed or denied that the FILMMAKER criteria is met. Jay 💬 16:49, 3 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]
    Fair. I've updated, striking FILMMAKER and adding GNG. - UtherSRG (talk) 17:14, 3 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete - I can find no significant coverage about this person to establish notability. The article has been reference bombed with a mix of unreliable sources such as IMDB, and Wikipedia itself, and reliable sources which only mention Vishnu Venu as producer. The closest thing to significant coverage is this Zeenews piece which is just a republication of a Venu social media post. My own search for sourcing turns up more of the same mentions and nothing that would substantiate notability. -- Whpq (talk) 18:56, 3 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Delete as non-notable. Also, I deleted the absurd references to Wikipedia itself, mentioned above, to make it easier for others to check sources. Deckkohl (talk) 21:12, 9 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]
