 * Delete I'm surprised the article survived the first time, because now Mr. Tom's back for another go-around. As per the nomination, the article fails WP:BASIC and WP:FILMMAKER. Per the first nomination, he also fails WP:GNG. Furthermore, the article itself is only about the films he himself has directed and nothing else. Nothing about his epic upbringing into a filmmaker. Nothing. Only dust. — Preceding unsigned comment added by IncompA (talk • contribs) 12:49, 1 August 2023 (UTC)
 * Delete Awards won are trivial, not much else for sourcing. I can't find anything. Oaktree b (talk) 14:23, 1 August 2023 (UTC)
 * Keep Meets criterion#3 for Creative professionals: "The person 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 primary subject of multiple independent periodical articles or reviews, or of an independent and notable work (for example, a book, film, or television series, but usually not a single episode of a television series)".- My, oh my!

 *  Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.


 * Delete since subject fails WP:GNG and WP:CREATIVE. The latter, despite claims to the contrary, is trivially not met, since subject has never, or not yet, created or played a major role in co-creating a significant or well-known work or collective body of work, to which also the filmography section in the article testifies. Further search only confirms the void. A small note: As it happens, I'm rather fond of the type of work done by the likes of Sooraj Tom. But Wikipedia is not a cinema directory nor a collection of random information. -The Gnome (talk) 17:22, 15 August 2023 (UTC)
