Argh. This is an unreferenced article with no Malayalam script edition of its name, which means that one cannot find Malayalam sources for this film. There appears to be no edition in the Malayalam Wikipedia, and as for WP:NFILM speaking about two reviews, I can find one (English language) one -- here. Delete if there is nothing else that can be recovered, if there is, then a Weak keep. ^{My name is}not^dave (talk/contribs) 10:25, 23 July 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Comment - If your browser can render this - the translation to search for would be ആഴക്കടൽ . I tried myself with combinations including the lead actor and the year, but could not find any better sources. Jupitus Smart 09:38, 24 July 2017 (UTC)[reply]
@Jupitus Smart: That's what it actually transliterated to when I tried, but indeed there is nothing about this film. ^{My name is}not^dave (talk/contribs) 09:47, 24 July 2017 (UTC)[reply]
If you are not adamant about deleting this article, I would suggest a very weak keep. Movies in which Kalabhavan Mani played the lead role, catered mainly to people from the lower strata of the society, and therefore do not get much coverage in mainstream media sources. If you look at his page, most of the gaps in his filmography are from movies in which he was the protagonist, as most Wikipedia editors do not care for such movies. Going by the history of the page, this seems like a good faith creation. Therefore Keeping or Deleting the page would not make much of a difference as it hardly get any hits.

Keep per sources found with expanded searches... for instance a very full review at Now Running. Time to address and improve, not delete. Schmidt, ^{Michael Q.} 20:30, 24 July 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Comment @MichaelQSchmidt: That source is the one I initially linked. Did you not notice? ^{My name is}not^dave (talk/contribs) 21:10, 24 July 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Response: Found it myself too, and used it to expand and cite. More to do... more to do. Schmidt, ^{Michael Q.} 00:46, 25 July 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Delete -- one source is insufficient for notability, and there's nothing better out there. No indications that it meets WP:NFILM. K.e.coffman (talk) 04:18, 13 August 2017 (UTC)[reply]
