The result was delete. Ignoring the two WP:SPAs (who, I'm virtually certain are socks), there's unanimous consensus that this doesn't belong in mainspace. Given the obvious SPA/socking/COI that's going on, delete seems the simplist and most appropriate of the various possibilities mentioned. -- RoySmith (talk) 00:22, 12 September 2016 (UTC)[reply]

• Move out of article space -> AFC - Article now seems to have inline citations which hopefully establish baseline notability for the article's subject. That said, article needs a lot of work but nothing I see justifies deletion. FelisLeo^Talk! 10:07, 25 August 2016 (UTC)[reply]

There are however, WP:COI issues. I received an e-mail from the main editor stating he is the "PR guy" of the article's subject and needs to maintain the article. He was basically asking for help, I am not sure if there is a 'good way' for PR guys to contribute to an article, only thing I can think of is Articles for Creation. Think getting other editors involved combined with the addition of inline citations can save the article. FelisLeo^Talk! 08:27, 29 August 2016 (UTC)[reply]

• Keep - Article is have inline citations establishing notability. Renjishcs (talk) 19:24, 1 September 2016 (UTC)[reply]

• Redirect to Nilavu - Subject does not meet the notability standard; neither wp:gng nor wp:director. AFC cannot establish the notability of subject, therefore doesn't seem to me a viable option. There are about 3 or at most 4 sources, and all of them are about Nilavu movie with almost same contents, in which he managed to secure passing mentions being director of the film. He may meet the Wikipedia's inclusion criteria in future. If and when that happens one is free to turn the redirect into article.

There is nothing to lose, and all sourced information on him are probably already covered in Nilavu article. Anup [Talk] 05:53, 9 September 2016 (UTC)[reply]
