Rajith Kumar
AfDs for this article:


 * – ( View AfD View log )

A non-notable professor and actor. The subject fails both WP:PROF and WP:NACTOR. The article fails WP:GNG too. Nakshathra Nair (talk) 05:32, 13 July 2021 (UTC)

 * Keep. As demonstrated in Articles for deletion/Rajith Kumar by User:Nsk92, he has WP:SIGCOV due to the reality show and several episodes of controversial remarks that received high profile coverage prior to the reality show (and were probably the reason he was cast to begin with).-- Eostrix  (&#x1F989; hoot hoot&#x1F989;) 06:03, 13 July 2021 (UTC)
 * Keep. There is a reasonable amount of news coverage of him. It is clear that he has received significant coverage over a period of years
 * Because of his strange views:Nov 2009Dec 2009April 2018
 * Because of Bigg Boss Malayalam 2:Jan 2020Mar 2020Sep 2020
 * Because of things he did after leaving Bigg Boss Malayalam 2:Nov 2020

 * Comment Toddy1, above mentioned sources are just few statements about his activities and all. I'm from Kerala and I know the language. The sources you provided here is not valid. The articles are from paid websites, those does not support to justify your points. Nakshathra Nair (talk) 08:18, 15 July 2021 (UTC)
 * The google search you complain about gives articles in The Times of India, The Indian Express and The Hindu. These are mainstream newspapers, not paid websites. -- Toddy1 (talk) 10:24, 15 July 2021 (UTC)


 * Comment : He does not have any notable roles in any films. The article completely fails WP:NACTOR. And I admit, the article is mostly about the controversies about him, but that is not a criteria for an WP article. Nakshathra Nair (talk) 08:22, 15 July 2021 (UTC)
