Shaji Nadesan

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

Biographical article on a non notable person. Shaji Nadesan is one of the co-producer of the film production company, August Cinema. Article lacks reliable sources on the person, but this nomination is not only based on that. This article is made only for "linking" purpose. The awards received for his productions are used to cover his non-notability. Then there is the content issue, other than the two line intro there is nothing, film list is from the article of the production house. The thing is, there no biography in this biographical article.

 * Keep - First things first. "Co-producer" does not rob him of the fact that he is a filmmaker. And for a biography of a filmmaker, per WP:FILMMAKER pts. 3 (...has created or played a major role in co-creating a significant or well-known work or collective body of work. In addition, such work must have been the subject of an independent book or feature-length film or of multiple independent periodical articles or reviews...) and 4 (...person's work (or works) either (a) has become a significant monument, (b) has been a substantial part of a significant exhibition, (c) has won significant critical attention, or (d) is represented within the permanent collections of several notable galleries or museums..., this person is fairly notable. To dig into his works, films like Indian Rupee, Manjadikuru, and Ennu Ninte Moideen have won critical acclaim and multiple National awards. Secondly, I don't understand what you mean by "linking" purposes. Do you mean that this guy has an SEO team working for him trying to rank this Wikipedia page of his on page 1? Highly unlikely, but on second thought, and quick Google search, it does seem possible. Lastly, I agree there are no sources to back the personality's notability, but his work should be enough.

 * What is this article contribute to a reader looking about producer Shaji Nadesan. The very known information itself, he is the co-producer of August cinema, other than what?. This article is only useful for "linking" in other articles. I just clarified what I meant by linking, the rest I have already mentioned in my nomination. --Charles Turing (talk) 12:01, 29 June 2016 (UTC)
 * Also, WP:FILMMAKER is not valid here, co-producer is not a Creative professional. He has no creative contributions/inputs to the work, he is only financing it and hire creative professionals to design the work.--Charles Turing (talk) 12:18, 29 June 2016 (UTC)

 * Delete instead as there are still troubles regarding substance, notability and sources, thus this would be better Drafted for the necessary improvements and then analyzed for acceptance. SwisterTwister   talk  00:33, 13 July 2016 (UTC)

 * Delete - I'd have to concur with on this one. As a co-producer he is responsible for arranging financing of the films - not any creative contributions. The awards that the films have received are based on the creative input of the director and actors not the producer. Notability has clearly not been established.
