Santhittha Naal Muthal

 * – ( View AfD View log )

During the WP:Before search, I couldn't find any reliable sources. TamilMirchi (talk) 02:35, 25 September 2020 (UTC)
 * Keep: Hello user, I believe Malaysian Tamil language films article are very notable, as all of them are released nationwide in Malaysia, there are sources, our local media have reportings about these films. It is not like student film, it is REAL theatrical films, no reason for not being notable. I feel terribly sad that you want to nominate the deletion of all these articles, most contributed by me. I believe all these can stay. And, the article is well-written and well-cited, plus with good formatting. Please reconsider and unnominate the deletion, thank you so much ;) User:LoveFromBJM (User talk:LoveFromBJM 04:25, 25 September 2020 (UTC)
 * I really do not understand your intentions of deleting the articles. You must have known these films is very significant in my countries. Although those cited websites are not news website, they are still media website that reports, making these films notable. Meanwhile, these articles are shorter, BUT you may realized that they are really written properly.

For Santhittha Naal Muthal: I have added one more source. Raaga, Varnam, Cinema.com.my are the local media websites that brings reliable information.

Latest Please read the latest version, Cinema.com.my has some notability; I added Varnam, Raaga, Selliyal (Tamil) are the local reliable news websites that brings reliable information. // Added IMDB title, remove other excessive external links --User:LoveFromBJM (User talk:LoveFromBJM)
 * Delete No reliable independent reviews. Fails WP:NFILM. "Cinema.com" citation...that's a film database site which provides no indication that the film is notable, just that it exists.  "Varnam" is just a notice that the film was released and that it has a trailer. Again, that doesn't prove the film is notable...only that the film exists.  No "Raaga" citation found in the article. Everything else cited is YOUTUBE. Donaldd23 (talk) 20:55, 25 September 2020 (UTC)
 * Delete - Cinema.com is as much good for notability as IMDb is (i.e. not at all). Delete as per Donald's reasoning Spiderone  08:40, 26 September 2020 (UTC)
 * Varnam and Raaga are simply just routine press releases merely stating the release date of the film and the trailer. Selliyal only provides a passing mention so still a clear GNG fail Spiderone  09:09, 27 September 2020 (UTC)


 * Delete- Lacks coverage from reliable sources. All sources present are either database entries or passing mentions. Not enough to establish WP:NFILM. Sunshine1191 (talk) —Preceding undated comment added 10:18, 27 September 2020 (UTC)

 * Keep: we should consider it as a rising genre and film, why must be a deletion when we can put tags to improve it? Isn't Wikipedia is all about improving articles? why the rush of saying a film has no nobility at all? For the sake of the industry. Just put tags. Thanks.

 * The "rush" in considering notability is because notability is one of the main pillars Wikipedia is built on. Else there would be articles for every single thingamabob in the universe! Wikipedia is an encyclopedia for notable films, not a film database. IMDB does an decent job at keeping a record. Sunshine1191 (talk) 16:06, 30 September 2020 (UTC)


 * Delete: Endless tagging of films in the past purely based on speculation that they may be notable a few years down the line is what has given rise to footling arguments like OTHERSTUFFEXISTS. Wikipedia is not a crystal ball. The only fact here is that currently the article fails WP:NFILM. TheRedDomitor (talk) 10:35, 1 October 2020 (UTC)
