Ratheesh Ambat

 * – ( View AfD View log )

This is a procedural nomination. I received a request to move (re-title) this article because the fillmaker's name is spelled wrong, and the article's title should be Rathish Ambat. It turns out that in 2019, an Admin blocked/salted articles of that title because someone kept recreating them, and presumably the reason was non-notability. See this:. In 2020 someone created the article again by simply misspelling his name in the title. The Admin recommends discussing the filmmaker's notability in the present day. My personal opinion is that his directing efforts are only mentioned briefly in sources that are actually about the films, or sources that are unreliable in their own right. ---  DOOMSDAYER 520 (TALK&#124;CONTRIBS) 17:16, 29 September 2021 (UTC)
 * Note: If Mr. Ambat is declared notable this time, Admin action will be required to move the present article to the correct spelling of the man's name, because as of now that title is blocked indefinitely. ---  DOOMSDAYER 520 (TALK&#124;CONTRIBS) 17:17, 29 September 2021 (UTC)

 Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus. Relisting comment: For those arguing keep, what is the press coverage that you're seeing? It's hard for a closer (and other editors) to know exactly what is being argued to be WP:SIGCOV without links being present.
