 * Temporary redirect for now to director Pa. Ranjith and give the article itself back to its author for a short while as a draft at User:Lakshmikandh/workspace/Pa. Ranjith or whomsoever wants it for a short time. Sorry anon IP 173.33.180.117, but the redirect will not be for long if this begins filming next month... but in its not filming, it is simply TOO SOON. I do grant however that eceptions do exist, and with the sheer amount of existing coverage (see above) this may well be one.  Schmidt,  Michael Q. 01:24, 18 August 2015 (UTC)
 * Comment: redirecting the article to the original author would be disastrous as his edits seem very immature and apparently has a history of not responding to talk page posts. I agree it meets the WP:TOOSOON clause, but as nothing in this article is WP:CRYSTALBALLING, I say we give it a go for now. 173.33.180.117 (talk) 23:59, 19 August 2015 (UTC)
 * Response: Anon IP you are incorrect. Please re-read what I wrote, as I am NOT suggesting a redirect to an author, but to the sourcable as involved notable filmmaker. And please avoid WP:ADHOM arguments. Since anyone is allowed to contribute, perhaps suggesting a mentor-ship of a newcomer would be far better than your declaring them immature. And please... while I agree this one is TOO SOON, properly sourced WP:SPECULATION is not disallowed, and redirecting for a short while to the filmmaker is precisely per policy and guideline, just as is my suggesting the article could be placed in a draftspace until the topic meets inclusion criteria.

 * Comment. The AFD tag on the article was redlinked due to a typo in the template. I've corrected that, but if this debate is down to the wire at closing time, the closing admin should consider adding a day or two to account for those first two days. FYI.

 * Update, According to this source, the film has begun its principal photography. 173.33.180.117 (talk) 21:36, 21 August 2015 (UTC)
 * No it hasn't... but nice find. The offered source is contradictory by saying "The film's shoot is all set to begin in Malaysia next month. Meanwhile the photoshoot of the film is reportedly happening at AVM Studios in Chennai today, the 21st August, where superstar Rajinikanth and Radhika Apte are said to be taking part."  When a source specifically tells us filming begins in Malaysia next month, it is a safe bet it that what is happening 8-21 is as photo shoot for pre-production publicity with two of the film's stars taking part. IE: "Film shoot" is not the same as a "photo shoot", but Bollywood is noted for such.  Schmidt,  Michael Q. 01:13, 22 August 2015 (UTC)
 * The editor who nominated the article for deletion in the first place justified it with the concern that the film hadn't started principal photography. Definitions aside, I believe the article should be kept. Its notable and is backed with reliable sources. 173.33.180.117 (talk) 12:17, 22 August 2015 (UTC)


 * As per this source the team of Kabali is set to commence shooting from 17 September in Malaysia and then move to Hong Kong, Thailand and finally, Chennai. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Kinkate18nic (talk • contribs) 08:57, 22 August 2015 (UTC)  — Kinkate18nic (talk&#32;• contribs) has made few or no other edits outside this topic.
 * Thanks but this article basically lifted that information from Wikipedia itself. Its not notable. 173.33.180.117 (talk) 12:25, 22 August 2015 (UTC)
 * AND, as iflickz.com is a site created through GoDaddy, being someone's WP:SPS it does not meet WP:RS.  Schmidt,  Michael Q. 02:56, 23 August 2015 (UTC)


 * Keep as a topic which exceeds WP:GNG enough to merit being a reasonable exception to WP:NFF. Yes, I had up above suggested a redirect (now struck) based upon what was it looked like when nominated, but the then-stub article has gone through marked improvements to become a decent start or C-class and, as the likely-hood of filming beginning in a very few weeks has increased, I have been convinced that it remaining and being further improved over time and through regular editorial efforts serves the project and its readers.   Schmidt,  Michael Q. 02:56, 23 August 2015 (UTC)


 * Withdraw – Looks like the principal photography is about to begin shortly. Besides, the topic seems to have become a reasonable exception to WP:NFF due to the amount of coverage it has received as MichaelQSchmidt says. &mdash; Vensatry (ping) 11:09, 24 August 2015 (UTC)
