Sir Sam Anderson

 * – (View AfD) (View log)

WITHDRAWN per below Very few Ghits and no news hits whatsoever for "Sir Sam Anderson." His movie debut starring role is in Yaaruku Yaaro, a low budget film. Of course, the problem may be that Anderson simply doesn't show up in English searches. But the article reads like a WP:SOAP piece I'm doubtful about this one. I will add to the appropriate discussion board to try and get some Tamil input. There's also this strange (to me) reference in the film article: "Sam Anderson also has a large mock-fan following on social networking services like Facebook and Orkut." A lot of the Ghits do seem to be strange effusive stuff about Anderson on blogs, but the above line makes me think he's been embraced as some kind of viral, so bad he's good, kinda thing. Anyway, all I'd really like to see is some WP:RS, in any language. Shawn in Montreal (talk) 20:49, 22 November 2009 (UTC)

 * Neutral. He went viral a year ago and yarukku yaro was picked up by the Tamil TV Channel Zee Tamil for broadcast on 11 july 09. And his interview during the film's broadcast itself went viral. Could do with a rewrite to remove the mocking tone.i want to keep it . Tamil wikipedia has a stub for him . Here are a few Reliable Sources for the film being made  .  --Sodabottle (talk) 21:29, 22 November 2009 (UTC)
 * Well, even if he's notable as a viral phenom, that's still notable. I'll gladly withdraw this if others concur. And Sodabottle, even though you declare yourself neutral you write "I want to keep it," so I think what you're saying is Keep. Shawn in Montreal (talk) 21:36, 22 November 2009 (UTC)
 * I cant find any Reliable Sources to back up the viral phenomena. Sad thing is he is indeed a viral phenomena ..:-(. There was an earlier article on the same person which was deleted by CSD . So what to do?. add a citations required template and leave it or delete it. I can't make up my mind. argh..--Sodabottle (talk) 21:45, 22 November 2009 (UTC)
 * Unless there's a strong consensus to delete from other editors, I'm gong to withdraw this and slap a RS tag on the article as you suggest. Shawn in Montreal (talk) 22:13, 22 November 2009 (UTC)


 * Delete He seems to have a pretty huge following in the blogosphere (English and Tamil), but I haven't been able to find anything at all in media coverage in either language in online Indian news sources. He may be bad and therefore have a following, but not bad enough to have received media coverage. At best, I think a redirect to Yarukko Yaro might not be a bad option. - Spaceman  Spiff  06:44, 23 November 2009 (UTC)
 * WITHDRAWN To save further effort for everyone, I'm just going to do ahead and redirect as Spaceman suggests. If anyone has a problem with that, please revert the redirect and let this AfD continue. Shawn in Montreal (talk) 16:30, 23 November 2009 (UTC)
