Proposing the article for deletion due to the fact that the subject is highly opinionated and biased. What constitutes pan indian film the information is already available in those specific movie article. No such movement started since 2015.Fostera12 (talk) 14:41, 26 July 2022 (UTC)

 * Keep The topic is covered by mutliple WP:GNG-compliant sources, therefore it meets the notability criteria. I have restored the article to it's pre-edit warring state so that the merit of the topic can be assessed by uninvolved users. Deletion is not cleanup.
 * The following independent reliable sources sources present significant coverage about the topic in hand:


 * 1) The 'pan-Indian' strategy of Telugu cinema Srivastan S, The Hindu (7 January 2022)
 * 2) Baahubali turns 5: How SS Rajamouli’s film changed Indian cinema forever: Manoj Kumar R, Gabbeta Ranjith Kumar, The Indian Express (11 July 2018)
 * 3) Allu Arjun’s Pushpa shows Telugu films have pan-India audience. Step aside, Bollywood Nidhima Taneja. The Print (16 January 2022)

 * 6) BigStory: Are pan-India films promoting too much violence? Bharti Dubey and Hemachandra Ethamukkala, The Times of India (23 April 2022)
 * "highly opinionated and biased" is not valid rationale for deletion. We write articles based on independent reliable sources. If such sources are opinionated and biased, then the same is reflected in the article. -- Ab207 (talk) 08:34, 27 July 2022 (UTC)


 * Keep No need of deletion as article is full of reliable sources. And all the films in it are notable. Deepika o (talk) 15:33, 27 July 2022 (UTC)
 * Keep It is evident that the term/film movement received wide recognition in the media and the critics. Also, there are plenty of sources that solely covers the topic.Jayanthkumar123 (talk) 16:31, 27 July 2022 (UTC)
 * Comment: If the article seems opinionated and biased perhaps pursuing NPOV edits would be a better route to take than deletion. Chagropango (talk) 07:00, 28 July 2022 (UTC)
 * Keep - NPOV is not a great reason for deleting an article on its own, especially when notability appears met and there is a better version restored. MaxnaCarta (talk) 13:02, 30 July 2022 (UTC)
