Lokesh Cinematic Universe

 * – ( View AfD View log | edits since nomination)

This page describes a "cinematic universe" where only two films have been made. It does not pass NPOV and WP:N. The citations do not establish enough notability for what is currently just two films that take place in the same universe. The films themselves are not marketed this way, and do not contain branding that would justify this page's existence. Pochonbro (talk) 17:34, 11 July 2022 (UTC)

 * Delete Fails WP:NEO, and two extant films are insufficient to justify a series article since one film can be trvially navigated to the other. –LaundryPizza03 ( d c̄ ) 18:37, 11 July 2022 (UTC)

 * Keep: Two films and many more projects in making and it has tons of reliable sources about it and cited in there, which establishes notability and DCEU films was not marketed as DCEU films for like many years, but it became the common name for the shared universe, only last year they made that as official name, so that doesn't matter and Lokesh Cinematic Universe (LCU) is already the name used by the movie creators including the director Lokesh Kanagaraj and has stated that the future films will be having the tag "A Lokesh Cinematic Universe (LCU) Film", all of this is cited in the article and written.

 * Keep: The climax ie. last 10 minutes of the movie pretty much tied the two movies together / brought both the casts together and ended claiming a sequel with combined cast. The last 10 minutes of the movie shows flashbacks of Kaithi and Bejoy scene from Kaithi is shown when he is called by Prabanjan. Pretty much the whole villain cast left alive from Kaithi comes up and tells it is Dilli who is responsible for their failure. There are multiple references where Kamal has already confirmed in addition to formal video interviews too. People who have not watched the two movies will definitely have little clue of what this is about.  A m i t  웃  23:26, 11 July 2022 (UTC)
 * Keep as Panda said "Lokesh will henceforth market films in the universe as LCU. A "Google Search" confirms that this is not made-up. The film critics have given this name. DareshMohan (talk) 07:07, 12 July 2022 (UTC)

 * Weak keep. While it is just a 2 movie series right now, the term does appear in some Indian news media. Assuming they are reliable, it does seem like a notable series. --<sub style="border:1px solid #228B22;padding:1px;">Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus&#124; reply here 07:43, 14 July 2022 (UTC)
 * Keep: Can be expanded with more reliable sources. Deep oka o (talk) 09:44, 16 July 2022 (UTC)


 * Weak keep has reliable sources that establishes this as a concept, though more would always be better. Optimistic that this will gain more coverage. Jontesta (talk) 14:34, 18 July 2022 (UTC)
 * Keep: Notable as being one of the highest grossing Tamil film franchises while both are connected and more films have been announced. Have media coverage of the topic. Give Up (talk)
