[edit] M. Kumaran son of Mahalakshmi

Failed CSD:G5 - Concerns have been raised about the notability of this film by other editors, see Talk:M. Kumaran son of Mahalakshmi and Wikipedia:Speedy_deletions#Thirupathi. ++Lar: t/c 15:03, 26 May 2006 (UTC)

• Comment Nominated because of concerns raised on the talk page and at Wikipedia:Speedy_deletions#Thirupathi and because it was a failed/disputed CSD:G5 (article by a banned user). For the purposes of G5 you may consider that I have "assumed responsibility" for this article. I have no opinion on whether this is notable or not, had never even heard of Kollywood prior to working CSD for a while. Although the article claims it was a "blockbuster of 2004" that is not sourced. I also have no opinion on whether it should be deleted or not, and have no stake in the outcome. ++Lar: t/c 15:09, 26 May 2006 (UTC)

• Keep. Seems to have been reasonably successful, with 800+ ghits in English and God knows how many in Tamil or whatever. Also, the main star is a chap who's first movie was a massive hit, and the second movie was much anticipated. This even I know, and I don't know much about south indian cinema at all. so quite notable. Why delete something that someone might want to add to and somebody else will find useful? I think the banned user policy needs a look. Hornplease 07:36, 27 May 2006 (UTC)
• Delete. With 800 Google hits, it is not that well known. Without any clear assertion of notability I don't see a reason to keep. If someone addresses the importance issue before the AfD ends, then consider my vote changed. Vegaswikian 18:34, 30 May 2006 (UTC)

800 G-hits in English for a Tamil movie makes it quite reasonably notable. Please, lets not get into another discussion about systemic bias.Hornplease 17:59, 2 June 2006 (UTC)

• Keep We get some more hits with the official title "M. Kumaran S/o Mahalakshmi" - it was one of the successful Tamil movies of 2004, has an IMDB entry as well. [1] --Gurubrahma 11:58, 3 June 2006 (UTC)
• Keep. Certainly a notable movie. Tintin (talk) 01:38, 4 June 2006 (UTC)
