Article has been listed as failing notability guidelines for over three years. Cannot locate any reliable sources.Retrolord (talk) 10:07, 27 January 2013 (UTC)
 * Strong keep: a director, who has made two movies and both of them are covered in Wikipedia, is surely notable. No need of further proof.--GDibyendu (talk) 13:30, 29 January 2013 (UTC)
 * If by "both of them are covered in Wikipedia", you're implying that because the films each have an article, he would be notable then this isn't always the case. There are filmmakers who only made a few films and never achieved notability for themselves. SwisterTwister   talk  20:36, 30 January 2013 (UTC)
 * By "both of them are covered in Wikipedia" I meant that WP has a page on both: Villagelo Vinayakudu and Vinayakudu (film). Next time you file an Afd, please check "what links here" for the page. You can make it for yourself in cases such as this one, whether notability can be challenged or not.--GDibyendu (talk) 15:30, 10 February 2013 (UTC)

 * Comment for now - I'll refrain from actually voting until I hear from other users but it seems he won a Nandi Award for the debut film which may suggest notability, with Google News providing some links here (I know galatta.com is blacklisted but I don't know if Super Good Movies is reliable, probably not). However, I found an interview here and a brief mention here. Although there doesn't seem to be any in-depth coverage about the award that I can find, it seems it did happen.

 * Keep per SwisterTwister's comment. These links are good enough in my opinion to prove some notability. Lyk4 (talk) 14:16, 31 January 2013 (UTC)
 * Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion so a clearer consensus may be reached.
