 * Delete fails notability. Also definitely appears autobiographical. -Drdisque (talk) 19:56, 19 March 2009 (UTC)

 * Delete. Being a journalist behind some of India's greatest entertainment stories would be a good case for notability, but the claims expressed in this article are too vague, totally unverifiable, and far too easily something that anyone could have claimed to have done. Will reconsider if the news stories that this journalist supposedly broke are referenced. Chris Neville-Smith (talk) 13:14, 21 March 2009 (UTC)
 * Rama is undoubtedly one of the best known names in the industry. As a part of the entertainment industry myself I can vouch for that. He has been around for 22 years. And his credibility in unquestionable. A Google search reveals more. Try googling him with other well known bollywood names. Many channels still do special shows with his quotes on box office performances of new films. and the stories mentioned after him are very much his work. Mid day and NDTV can verify that... or any of the celebs! —Preceding unsigned comment added by Dscojyoti (talk • contribs) 14:18, 21 March 2009 (UTC)
 * If his credibility is unquestionable and hits show up on Google with other Bollywood names, post a few of the links here and we can take it from there. (Or, better still, post links relating to stories about S Ramachandran himself.) Unverified assertions (especially assertions from users who have not made any other contribution to Wikipedia) and Google tests alone aren't enough.

 * Hi Chris. Please do check the links in the reference section of the article page. i have put some links there which will give you an estimation of his credibility. The links are of stories he has done and stories done on him. Stories done on him more importantly because they were done in renowned newspapers of the country. eg: http://www.screenindia.com/old/fullstory.php?content_id=13894   and  http://www.rediff.com/movies/2006/nov/21asha.htm   dscojyoti  —Preceding undated comment added 04:27, 23 March 2009 (UTC).
 * I don't think this alone is going to qualify. The notability guidelines at WP:BIO state that the depth of coverage of the subject has to be substantial, and in these two articles the coverage of S Ramachandran amounts to a single sentence. However, if the album he is directing qualifies as notable, he could certainly get a mention in an article about the album. The close of debate for this AfD is coming up, and the most likely outcome at the moment is that the article will be deleted. What you might want to do, however, is copy the article to your own userspace and keep searching for references. If you leave a message at Wikiproject India, they ought to be able to help you better than I can. Note that any promotional-sounding parts of the article will need to be re-written from neutral point of view no matter what. Chris Neville-Smith (talk) 17:20, 23 March 2009 (UTC)


 * Oh I have worked with him. In fact he has taught so many entertainment journalists. He is one of the most respected names among all people in the industry today. He is quite looked up to. Jhask —Preceding undated comment added 14:24, 21 March 2009 (UTC).
