 * Keep. There are various sites that show Reddy's work as a cinematographer. What could be the problem? Verification is also quiet strong for the documents through its sources.

 * Keep His films are notable, than he is notable. I see results for him in a Google news search, but no need to go through that, since he already meets WP:ENTERTAINER   D r e a m Focus  00:26, 10 March 2011 (UTC)

 * Keep Sources are strongly weighing for and on V. N. Reddy's side. Rest all is said above, nothing more to say. Drpngupta (talk) 09:26, 10 March 2011 (UTC)
 * Comment - Seems a shame that poor references are being used for a notable topic. -- Uzma Gamal (talk) 15:23, 10 March 2011 (UTC)
 * What is poor about a reference to the Encyclopaedia of Hindi cinema, published by Encyclopaedia Britannica, that was in the article at the time of nomination and describes the subject as a major cinematograher of the black-and-white and early colour period? Or about a source published by Michigan State University that picks out one of the subject's works as one of the six most significant Indian films of the 1940s? An obvious keep, and, I would think, a speedy keep based on the fact that the nominator has not provided a deletion rationale beyond "not notable", which means "I think this article should be deleted because I think it should be deleted".

 * You can't be serious. India: Encyclopaedia Britannica was used in the article only to support the fact that his name is V. N. Reddy. The rest of the references were either weak or non reliable sources - moviediva.com, asia.isp.msu.edu ( a constant work in progress for K-12), passionforcinema.com, www.imdb.com. At the time of AfD nomination, the article was an insult to this man. Who ever did this should be ashamed. -- Uzma Gamal (talk) 13:51, 11 March 2011 (UTC)
 * The article creator is a newbie and looks like a family member. This was the version that was AfDed - an excellent attempt for a first article. With so many blue linked movies mentioned, tagging this as "non-notable" was the insult. And saying that the newbie "should be ashamed" for trying to create an article with references and formatting is much worse. Have we lost all sense of perspective that we are now trying to shame newbies for attempting to create articles?-Sodabottle (talk) 15:17, 11 March 2011 (UTC)


 * Keep VN Reddy is "non notable". really? Can someone close this already as a speedy keep--Sodabottle (talk) 09:55, 11 March 2011 (UTC)
 * Speedy Keep in complete agreement with the above. We do not delete what is notable and can be improved.  Schmidt,  MICHAEL Q. 12:15, 11 March 2011 (UTC)
 * Keep. Cinematographer of many hit movies. Salih  ( talk ) 20:34, 11 March 2011 (UTC)


 * Keep As per others' clarifications. He is notable enough in the Indian film industry.Hillcountries (talk) 03:35, 12 March 2011 (UTC)
