DePRODed by creator without addressing the issue(s). Concern was: Notability is not conferred by a single reference to an IMDB entry. Fails criteria at WP:NACTOR. Kudpung กุดผึ้ง (talk) 13:21, 20 September 2017 (UTC)[reply]

• Keep This is tricky, but I will still give it a go. He has been part of many notable movies, mainly as the comic sidekick, and recently got a lot of praise for his role in Aanandam. I could not find many sources in English which talk in depth about the said person, though a cursory search can provide a lot of references were his name is listed among the cast members, while discussing movies he has been a part off. There are however better in depth sources about him in Malayalam - This is one from Mathrubhumi and this is one from Malayala Manorama, both of which are quality newspapers and talk in depth about him. This is an interview with him in Reporter TV and here is a feature about him in Mangalam Weekly and another in Vellinakshatram. There are also a host of references in which he discusses the medical facts about the death of his friend Rajesh Pillai, as the said person is probably the only actor in the Malayalam industry who is a qualified physician. This is in International Business Times, this appeared in Madhyamam Daily, this appeared in Oneindia, this in Kairali TV's website and this in Asianet. Probably should remain.

• Keep. User:Jupitus Smart has been an editor since 2013 and he spent a lot of time defending his position in seemingly sound arguments. Google translate was useless in translating the material I attempted to read. Unless we have another good faith editor who is able to examine User:Jupitus Smart claims and refute them, I think the article should be kept. Wikipedia is often criticized for being the province of Western, white tech males who often poorly handle articles having to do non-Western and/or developing countries. There is no reason to give Wikipedia's critics more ammunition by deleting the article when it does not appear reasonable to delete it. Knox490 (talk) 04:41, 6 October 2017 (UTC)[reply]
