The result was keep‎__EXPECTED_UNCONNECTED_PAGE__. Arguments for keeping were strong enough, and uncontested. The mere nomination is not enough to get the article deleted. (non-admin closure) Paul Vaurie (talk) 01:42, 4 August 2023 (UTC)

WP:BLP whose only sources are IMDb and a dead link (presumably used to be a WP:SELFSOURCE). Copious tone and copyediting issues. jlwoodwa (talk) 20:45, 21 July 2023 (UTC) Please add new comments below this notice. Thanks, Liz Read! Talk! 22:44, 28 July 2023 (UTC)

 *  Weak keep. See this (Note, August 2): See comment below)(which raises a massive copyright violation issue but there was no need, I thought, to flag yet another issue ... a big cleanup would be necessary) or this. Various articles on this. Mostly, I've checked a few films in the considerable list of his alleged participations and they seem to be correct. (examples: .- My, oh my!

 *  Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.


 * Comment: the link number 1) above has for some reason turned "dead" on the TOI website- But it leads, if one clicks a few things, to the following text (copied verbatim by the article, as indicated):
 * "Chinna is one of the leading art director in Indian cinema. His debut venture was ‘Kalisi Nadudham’ (Telugu). He started art direction together with his guru B Anand Sai (son of senior art director B Chellam). His started his career as Assistant Art Director for the Tamil movie ‘Roja Malare’ starring Murali. Next was ‘Santosham’ followed by ‘Enasare Asave’ and so on. Then Shifted to Hyderabad for ‘Tholiprema’. Again together with his guru Anand Sai, he did Telugu movies like ‘Tholiprema’, ‘Thamudu’, ‘Badri’, ‘Kushi’ and ‘Prematho ra’.
 * In July 2017, his name was included in the list of 12 personalities of Telugu cinema, including actors, directors and producers, against whom the Telangana Prohibition and Excise Department had issued notices under relevant sections of the Narcotic Drugs and Psychotropic Substances (NDPS) Act, asking them to appear before its special investigation team (SIT)." (The layout is currently terrible for some reason)
 * The TOI also provides a filmography, which, makes me think he meets the criterion#3 for Creative professionals for his various contributions to notable films
