Deepavali releases - Tamil

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

Not sure if this is required as there are already list of films for every year. This list merely puts part of every year's article together. Having a list for a festival will mean atleast 3-4 more lists. Evano1van(எவனோ ஓருவன்) 07:35, 5 December 2013 (UTC)

 * It is impossible to check each and every page of yearly films to know about Deepavali releases. Like Pongal releases, Deepavali releases should have a single page detail, so that it will be boon for people who search for similar records. Rajeshbieee (talk) 04:59, 6 December 2013 (UTC)

 * Delete: Trivial classification of films released in Diwali festival season. Even if there is any established link between film's success and holiday season, that one liner link can go in the film's article. This list is unnecessary. §§ Dharmadhyaksha §§ {T/C} 10:38, 19 December 2013 (UTC)
 * Keep Although this may seem a trivial classification, even cursory searches show substantive coverage in reliable sources for the concept, including major media such as The Hindu newspaper. Passes WP:GNG. --Eggishorn (talk) (contrib) 00:48, 22 December 2013 (UTC)
 * Please present those here. Also note that substantive coverage needs to be present in detail manner about the "subject". Lengthy article like this one which says that films would release on Diwali and then start talking about what the film's story is, what other films the lead actor is doing, how many songs are in the film, etc etc don't provide WP:SIGCOV of the topic at hand. §§ Dharmadhyaksha §§ {T/C} 10:32, 22 December 2013 (UTC)

 * Coverage of the concept in The Hindu: "Deepavali and Tamil films have a relationship that has endured over six decades. Here are some festival releases that have earned money and fame for its makers." Coverage from online South Asian magazine truthdive'': " The countdown for the Tamil movies that are scheduled to release on Deepavali day, November 2, 2013 begins. This Deepavali will witness the clash between three first class actors – Ajith, Karthi and Vishal." Any search on Deepavali releases will produce more. That shows substantive coverage in reliable sources, which satisfies WP:GNG. --Eggishorn (talk) (contrib) 16:10, 22 December 2013 (UTC)
 * These all links solve my if-there-is-any-established-link problem. But they still have no different in-depth views. & that's probably because there is nothing in-depth to write about it. After one or two lines of how Diwali brings commercial success, they start discussing star cast and other regular filmy stuff. Maybe you can write a paragraph about it in Tamil cinema. In there you may include some really super-duper box office hits as examples within prose. And that should take care of little encyclopedic value this topic may have. Jotting down all films that released in festival, but anyhow couldn't make it big anyways, is unnecessary and adds little to the already trivial classification. §§ Dharmadhyaksha §§ {T/C} 18:12, 23 December 2013 (UTC)
