This page should not be speedily deleted because... (your reason here) --218.208.254.216 (talk) 10:19, 17 February 2015 (UTC) It was upcoming movie that announced to be released on Deepavali


 * We, here, stick to policies laid down by Wikipedia. Arjann (talk) 17:47, 17 February 2015 (UTC)

Contested deletion
This page should not be speedily deleted because this movie is an upcoming movie that had been scheduled for Deepavali 2015.

Edit summary of 21 September 2015

 * 1) Release date is unconfirmed. Hopefully 2016. Page needs to be moved but I need a discussion on page move. That can be done later.
 * 2) Wikilinks fixed
 * 3) Genre of the film is corrected and page lead is summarized with sources
 * 4) Under production - Unnecessary trivia is removed. Precise details with reliable sources is added. No one is interested to know what happened after shelving, about Suriya's Massss or who went ahead with what project. Rumored stuff is removed. All this is not needed here. Little bit casting details are added.
 * 5) Filming and music section is added.
 * 6) Nothing is exactly known about the distribution rights. I mean, a strong reliable source is absent. Removed. It needs to be counter-checked. Tamil distribution rights and purchasing sum aren't reported officially.
 * 7) Rather than controversy, the listed title is far better.

Other than all this, more details with reliable sources may be added. Improvements, suggestions and discussions are always welcomed here or on my talk page. Arjann (talk) 09:06, 21 September 2015 (UTC)

 * Hi :
 * New comments go at the bottom of talk pages
 * Please sign your comments by appending four tildes ~ at the end. The software will convert this to a signature with a timestamp, so that people know who wrote the comment and when.
 * Talk pages are not intended for WP:SOAPBOXING, they are intended for discussing specific changes to the article.
 * No personal attacks, please
 * It appears you're referring to this edit that was subsequently reverted by Widr. The content you submitted contained grammar errors, and we shouldn't be using Facebook as a reference because it is user-generated content. Your later resubmission of this content contained more grammar errors, date formatting errors ("14th march" -- we don't use ordinals like 1st, 2nd, 3rd for dates. This should have been "14 March", and a year should have been included), capitalization errors ("Single Song Named", "march") and you used condensed hashtag formatting (KalamEnKadhali) for the names of the songs instead of writing them out properly like "Kalam En Kadhali", which the source does. So please double check your submissions so that you're not causing extra work for other editors, because you will find your edits quickly reverted, sourced or not. If English isn't your strong suit, you might consider posting edit requests on the talk page.


 * Hope that answers your concerns. Cyphoidbomb (talk) 16:56, 12 March 2016 (UTC)

Micro financial details like satellite rights
In this edit I removed content about the film selling its satellite rights. Why is this of any academic importance? We're not here to track every financial detail. There is no MOS:FILM precedent for this information and it's not something that is generally cared about across WikiProject Film. If trades care about this, fine, let the trades care about it.

Merging of 24 (soundtrack)

 * Disagree merge: It's very common to have a separate soundtrack page, and no reason to merge them with the main article, when both articles are long enough. Your claim under the above tagged notice, I would like to state that this revision is primitive and now the revision on 11 May 2016 is in significantly expanded form. The soundtrack article has standalone reference(s). So please, I request you first read the reasons for merging and then propose a merger. The points under "Merging should be avoided if:" (partially barring point 3 are clearly followed by the article 24 (soundtrack). Arjann (talk) 06:16, 11 May 2016 (UTC) Please note: ,
 * Merge: I strongly prefer to merge the article with 24 (2016 film) because of the following reasons. As per the notability guideline to create an article about an album Notability (music), there are some conditions which are not satisfied, the reasons are:
 * It is not a top album that is listed in country's musical charts
 * The recording has not been certified gold in any country.
 * The album has neither won nor nominated for any notable awards in
 * It is not a important subject of national broadcast or similar ones
 * There are sources but having sources alone doesn't make it notable. According to point 5 of the notability guidelines, if it is only a part of a notable film then it should merged with the parent article.
 * If merging makes the parent article too long, then some unimportant section in this article such as Personnel can be removed, because only music director is enough as the singer(s) and lyricists names have already been mentioned in the track list. KC Velaga  ☚╣✉╠☛  23:59, 11 May 2016 (UTC)


 * 1) If you're going to argue that the article isn't notable per WP:NALBUM, then you should be evaluating whether or not it meets any of the criteria, not just the four you've selected. 2) A personnel section is perfectly fine per MOS:ALBUM, so it seems odd to propose cutting the section just so it conforms with your view that the standalone article should not exist. It's sort of like arguing that we remove the references so that we could delete the content as unsourced. 3) I think you are misinterpreting point 5. The guideline suggests that if the only claim of notability is that the work was featured in a notable medium then it is probably better to incorporate it into the main article. (The guideline goes on to link to guidelines for articles on living people, which is confusing.) However, if the soundtrack "has been the subject of multiple, non-trivial, published works appearing in sources that are reliable, not self-published, and are independent from the musician or ensemble who created it" then it would have more than one claim of notability. Cyphoidbomb (talk) 00:33, 12 May 2016 (UTC)


 * It is like you have put the same points posted at the page deletion request. Don't you have any other thing else to say? Why don't you properly interpret the reasons for merging. Is it that deliberately you are chasing the users or having some kind of the personal disinterest in the film that makes you do so? Arjann (talk) 04:39, 12 May 2016 (UTC)
 * I don't have any kind of personal disinterest against the film. It is just about the songs in a film just as all other Indian films, there is nothing exceptional about this film. So why create a separate article to its name?  KC Velaga  ☚╣✉╠☛  09:47, 12 May 2016 (UTC)
 * I'll repeat what I said at the AfD, and hope you will understand this time: Merging the soundtrack with the main article will bloat it, and the soundtrack image would violate WP:NFCC. Kailash29792 (talk) 14:00, 12 May 2016 (UTC)
 * Please, someone respond about the merger and put an end to this. I don't like seeing such tags/issues at the top of a page. Please, resolve. In course of time I (or other interested users) may develop both the pages. Arjann (talk) 16:17, 18 May 2016 (UTC)
 * I find the soundtrack is not notable to have a separate namespace. As I have mentioned before it is just about the track list in a film. There is nothing significant than that. For those who are thinking that it will bloat the parent article, the details such as the personnel section can be removed as they are not required. The names of composers, music directors and singers were already mentioned in the track list. KC Velaga  ☚╣✉╠☛  11:35, 23 May 2016 (UTC)
 * How can you say that personnel section is not required. Did you go through what is mentioned in Album article style guide under "personnel". Further, the entire section is well sourced and may be counter-checked. Arjann (talk) 13:53, 23 May 2016 (UTC)
 * , I also can't help noticing that you're basically just repeating your incomplete argument without addressing the issues I brought up, specifically whether or not the album meets any of the notability criteria, not just the four you've selected, and it would be nice if you were to provide a solid argument for removing the personnel section, considering MOS:ALBUM does provide for the inclusion of such a section. As noted, your suggestion that the section be cut isn't adequately explained and sort of sounds like a "If we remove one of the wheels, we can tow away the car for being unfit to drive" argument, i.e. you're proposing that we make arbitrary changes to the article just so it then has a reason to be merged.

 * ❌ - From the source: "The news of "24" grossing Rs. 100 crore has been announced by the makers of the film." We do not use primary sources, i.e. people directly involved in the subject like the film's producers, director, actors, promotional department, for controversial data like financial values. Producers have a vested interest in inflating or deflating these values depending on their goals. They might inflate the numbers to make the film more attractive to potential viewers, or they might deflate the values to escape taxation if the film isn't doing well.

 * , Wikipedia is not a breaking news source, it is an encyclopedia run by volunteers. It is a bit obnoxious for you to post three urgent-sounding requests in the span of a few hours. Wikipedia has no deadline. You didn't even include reliable references. If you are asking for a change, you could be helpful by providing direct links rather than making other editors do the research for you. I can tell you that most of the sites you mentioned in your last post are completely insufficient and I won't even look at most of them. Galaxyreporter.com is a blog. Onlookersmedia.in is a blog.

 * Why are satellite rights noteworthy? Wikipedia doesn't typically get into a film's detailed financials. There's nothing at MOS:FILM that encourages we detail satellite rights or other rights sales. Oh, and neither Kollytalk nor YouTube are reliable sources. If JayaTV is, (I don't know off-hand) their presence on YouTube could be used, but that doesn't address the matter of why satellite rights would be noteworthy to an encyclopedia.
