The following discussion is an archived debate of the proposed deletion of the article below. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made on the appropriate discussion page (such as the article's talk page or in a deletion review). No further edits should be made to this page.

The result was keep. While a simple vote count would suggest no consensus, all of the delete opinions came before the significant coverage identified late in the discussion to meet that main notability guideline. Davewild (talk) 17:59, 19 June 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Delete for now as my first two searches here and here found links but not much significant and there's no target for moving the article elsewhere. SwisterTwister talk 00:22, 29 May 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Delete per SwisterTwister. I think that notability may eventually be established, but not quite yet. -Pax85 (talk) 04:00, 11 June 2015 (UTC)[reply]
Weak keep - I cleaned up the article. It seems like he's had enough profiles and his short films have been called critically acclaimed.[1], [2], [3]. There's a ton of press about his directorial debut. I know the Indian film industry is prolific but I don't want to just assume everybody gets these articles. Also I put his name in Malayalam and it brings up more coverage naturally. —Мандичка^YO 😜 09:16, 11 June 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Keep – Meets WP:BASIC. Sources include: [4], [5], [6], [7], [8]. North America¹⁰⁰⁰ 22:55, 18 June 2015 (UTC)[reply]
