LK Sudhish

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

This page was speedy deleted twice last year under G7 and G11.. this is a BLP on a film producer-turned-politician but basically it fails WP:POLITICIAN because the subject never elected to state or national level parliament. Second this may also fails WP:PRODUCER because seemingly he may have produced some Tamil movies but on a closer look, I found that the subject was not the actual producer but some company called Captain Cine Creations which is apparently run or owned by Vijayakanth... Vijayakanth starred in all the movie mentioned on this page and is brother in law of the subject. Saqib (talk) 06:32, 5 April 2018 (UTC)

 * Delete. Unsuccessful election candidates do not pass WP:NPOL just for being candidates — he has to win the election, not just run in it, to clinch notability as a politician, and otherwise the only other route to a Wikipedia article is to demonstrate that he was already notable enough for an article for some other reason independent of his candidacy itself. But this offers no such evidence at all: film producers don't get an automatic inclusion freebie either, but get Wikipedia articles only if they can be reliably sourced as clearing WP:GNG for their work as film producers — but LK Sudhish's work as a film producer is "referenced" to IMDb-like databases and blogs, not to any media coverage about him. There's also a history of conflict of interest here, as the article's original iteration last year was created by the subject himself as an WP:AUTOBIO (which, furthermore, falsely claimed his holding of a political office he has not actually held), so even though I can't prove it this time I have my doubts about this version's creator too.

 * Delete Nominator's assessment is correct, the subject was a candidate for a political office but failed to win said office, and their career as a film producer fails WP:ENT.--SamHolt6 (talk) 13:57, 7 April 2018 (UTC)
 * Delete fails WP:POLITICIAN and does not appear to pass WP:ENT either. SportingFlyer  talk  21:50, 7 April 2018 (UTC)
