Fails WP:MOVIE. Article does not assert notability using reliable, third-party sources. VG &#x260E; 09:36, 3 October 2008 (UTC) 
 * Weak Keep. I'd be inclined to turn it into a stub, but I can't find any sources to back it. An Indian film in wide release would be notable, I think - but the fact that it is a 1966 film hampers sourcing. Hell, I'll write the stub right now, and maybe someone can source it and salvage the article. "Unreferenced Saraswathi Sabatham is an Indian film directed by A.P. Nagarajan. It was released in 1966. India-film-stub" That's really it, I think. There is an IMDB page for it (here), so we know it exists. Hmm.UltraExactZZ Claims~ Evidence 14:43, 3 October 2008 (UTC)
 * Comment. This Google snippet shows that the film was a box office hit and this implies that it would be well-known to The Hindu's readership, but I can't find any substantial coverage in reliable sources. Phil Bridger (talk) 19:53, 7 October 2008 (UTC)

 * Keep, film starred Sivaji Ganesan, who is notable, and was directed by A. P. Nagarajan, who is notable. According to Nagarajan's article, this film "started a trend in Tamil film making" (however, that claim is unsourced). There must be sources out there for this; just probably not many in Google due to the age of the film. Somno (talk) 02:23, 13 October 2008 (UTC)
 * While cleaning up the article, I found it stars a number of other notable actors, so hopefully that's enough to keep the article while sources are found. Somno (talk) 02:50, 13 October 2008 (UTC)

 * Keep Famous movie. The only thing that could be held against it was formatting and references and that has been taken care of now. Tintin 06:05, 13 October 2008 (UTC)
