R. K. Vijay Murugan

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

Tamil art director, production designer and actor - a remarkable combination of talents, and yet failing WP:GNG, this has been draftified a couple of times, particularly to 'segregate' UPE, which is very much a concern here. Other material out there is highly promotional, but RSes are like rocking horse teeth... Alexandermcnabb (talk) 10:26, 21 March 2023 (UTC) Please add new comments below this notice.

 * Delete I've been on the fence about this one. When the draft was moved back from draftspace for the second time by its creator, I thought of nominating it for deletion; the reason I didn't, and instead cleaned it up a bit, was that Murugan has won a Vijay award. However, I'm not sure how notable that award is in itself given that it was cancelled after a few years and I now think it isn't really grounds for notability on its own. I've searched for sources to support his notability, but not found anything. Of course it is possible that sources exist in Tamil, but I doubt that significant coverage would exist without any trace of it in English. There is an obvious conflict of interest: the draft creator registered 11 months ago and has only edited about Murugan, hasn't reacted to any questions about paid editing, and removed the AfD and COI templates today while also restoring some unsourced claims. All in all, I don't see how Murugan is notable per WP:GNG, WP:ENT, or WP:CREATIVE. --bonadea contributions talk 11:37, 24 March 2023 (UTC)
 * RK vijay Murugan art director predominantly works in Tamil industry for past twenty years. So all the news magazine & articles are only in Tamil language.

 * First of all, please address the questions on your user talk page. After that, could you mention here three Tamil language sources that are not in the article now, and that are reliable, independent, and secondary, and are about Murugan specifically? Interviews, such as this, are not secondary and don't show notability. --bonadea contributions talk 15:03, 24 March 2023 (UTC)
 *  Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.
