The result was soft delete‎__EXPECTED_UNCONNECTED_PAGE__. Based on minimal participation, this uncontroversial nomination is treated as an expired PROD (a.k.a. "soft deletion"). Editors can request the article's undeletion.

Whpq is correct though, notability for those in his field doesn't rest on the number of films he has worked on or the fact that he has retired. If that was true then we wouldn't have any articles on people who have died, either! It's about SIGCOV and apparently he hasn't received that yet. Liz Read! Talk! 19:18, 11 July 2023 (UTC)

Fails Notability (people). Based on his own Linkedin page, he received praise for Azhagu Kutti Chellam. For cinematographers to be notable, they should have sources or have worked on fifteen plus films (like other Tamil cinematographers). Furthermore, this guy retired.

 * Delete - working on 15+ films or being retired are irrelevant to notability. What is needed is significant coverage about the person and none of the references provided represent significant coverage.  Most are just providing a credit of him as cinematographer.  The only refernce that provides even a smidge of coverage is this one and it is literally only one sentence.  My own search for sources turns up nothing. -- Whpq (talk) 23:29, 10 July 2023 (UTC)
