Fails WP:GNG, WP:NBIO, and WP:MUSICBIO. The only slight claim of credibility is that the subject is a Guinness World Record holder, but this was not well covered by mainstream, third-party sources, and, taking into account WP:BLP1E, is not enough to achieve notability.

 * Keep: It is not really a case of BIO1E. First he made it to Limca Book of Records in 2007 for running a radio show continuously for 92.7hrs (source); then next year in 2008, Guinness World Records, when he was on air for 168hrs (source).


 * There are coverage which discussed him before he broke the record and after(click "next") in multiple mainstream reliable sources. There are also quite a few independent coverage (from world record) of him, like this one.


 * One should notice that the time-frame within which he was covered by multiple reliable sources spans for a decade. Additionally, these are only English-language sources; his coverage should be at least double in number in Tamil language (language of the region he belongs to).


 * Radio Jockeys do not compose music or sing songs or do anything related to the music industry. They just play music and talks about them in breaks. WP:MUSICBIO is completely irrelevant to this line of profession. They should be judged in respect to WP:GNG which in my opinion has been established by above sources (which are definitely not all available sources). Anup   [Talk]  04:16, 27 November 2016 (UTC)

 * Delete. Non-notable person. Sportsfan 1234 (talk) 15:30, 11 December 2016 (UTC)


 * Merge as one-line into Radio personality for his world record purpose. Rest no notability. §§Dharmadhyaksha§§ {Talk / Edits} 06:05, 12 December 2016 (UTC)


 * Merge to Radio personality as a compromise. Other than the records, there is not a lot of information available about the subject in sources (e.g., ). The Radio personality article presently has no mentions of the Limca Book of Records or Guinness World Records, so a merge will improve that article. North America1000 16:50, 19 December 2016 (UTC)
 * keep and try to expand, but merge is a poor choice here. It's like merging minor authors to the general page of "author" It is of almost no actual use. ```` — Preceding unsigned comment added by DGG (talk • contribs) 23:51, 21 December 2016 (UTC)
 * We can merge some author who holds the record for writing the longest book ever and if that's the only notable thing he has done or a painter who has painted the longest canvas painting and so on.... "Try to expand" is actually of almost no use because all the trivia about him can be added. I can listen to his radio show someday and mention in his article that he admires singers like Lata Mangeshkar, Balamuralikrishna and so on... We can "expand" by writing his views which he expressed on his show about flood relief activities in Chennai or how truck regulations should be made strict so they don't run over people and so on.... §§Dharmadhyaksha§§ {Talk / Edits} 04:37, 22 December 2016 (UTC)


 * Delete. Does not meet WP:ANYBIO. The Crazed Beast (talk) 14:31, 23 December 2016 (UTC)
 * Delete per WP:RECENTISM and WP:BLP1E. The merge suggested above doesn't make sense to me.  The proposed merge target is about the general concept.  Adding a line or two about his specific, non-notable, example, would violate WP:UNDUE.  Perhaps if there was a List of radio personalities, it might make sense to redirect/merge to that.  -- RoySmith (talk) 14:48, 23 December 2016 (UTC)
