Yaaruku Yaaro

 * – (View AfD (View log  •  AfD statistics)

Article has been deleted under a different name previously twice, here and here. To me it looks different enough to the previous revisions that speedy deletion may not be appropriate. The article itself mentions that the movie was never reviewed by newspapers or entertainment websites and the references consist of links to YouTube, a gallery of photos and a brief video interview with an actor on Metacafe. There is a brief mention of the movie here but it doesn't look like significant coverage. This seems to fail the Film notability criteria as well as the wider notability policy.

 * Keep A genuine viral phenomenon (probably the first tamil viral film?) getting the chop as the Tamil MSM is too slow to catch up with the web :-(. There was a similar AFD discussion for the film's lead and producer "Sam Anderson" a few weeks back . It was decided to keep Yarukku Yaro and redirect sam anderson to it. The film has huge coverage in Tamil blogosphere (both Tamil and English blogs) and youtube as a viral phenomenon. After it became viral it was picked up by a mainstream TV Channel for broadcast (with an interview with sam anderson, which in turn has gone viral). Tamil Wikipedia has an entry for the film. Apart from the hindu article mentioned by the nominator, it has had some coverage in Tamil media like, —Preceding unsigned comment added by Sodabottle (talk • contribs) 05:58, 8 December 2009 (UTC)
 * Additional Comment : It was broadcast in Zee Tamil on 11 July 2009. The promo was uploaded by Zee tamil marketing team in youtube. --Sodabottle (talk) 15:45, 15 December 2009 (UTC)
 * Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion so consensus may be reached.


 * Keep, trusting Sodabottle's statement that it's been televised and received media coverage in Tamil. Polarpanda (talk) 19:00, 14 December 2009 (UTC)
 * Keep, Is a legitimate Tamil movie, which is growing to become a huge internet meme. If something like a paragraph on Benny Lava can be kept on Wikipedia, this should be kept as well. I am still upset that the article on Sam Anderson was deleted. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 98.250.50.255 (talk) 00:04, 21 December 2009 (UTC)
