This is a collection of discussions on the deletion of articles related to Kerala. It is one of many deletion lists coordinated by WikiProject Deletion sorting. Anyone can help maintain the list on this page.

Adding a new AfD discussion

Adding an AfD to this page does not add it to the main page at WP:AFD. Similarly, removing an AfD from this page does not remove it from the main page at WP:AFD. If you want to nominate an article for deletion, go through the process on that page before adding it to this page. To add a discussion to this page, follow these steps:

1. and add {{Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/PageName}} to the top of the list. Replace "PageName" with the relevant article name, i.e. the one on the existing AFD discussion. Also, indicate the title of the article in the edit summary as it is particularly helpful to add a link to the article in the edit summary. When you save the page, the discussion will automatically appear.
2. You should also tag the AfD by adding {{subst:delsort|Kerala|~~~~}} to it, which will inform editors that it has been listed here. You may place this tag above or below the nomination statement or at the end of the discussion thread.

There are a few scripts and tools that can make this easier.

Removing a closed AfD discussion

Closed AfD discussions are automatically removed by a bot.

Other types of discussions

You can also add and remove other discussions (prod, CfD, TfD etc.) related to Kerala. For the other XfD's, the process is the same as AfD (except {{Wikipedia:Miscellany for deletion/PageName}} is used for MFD and {{transclude xfd}} for the rest). For PRODs, adding a link with {{prodded}} will suffice.

Further information

For further information see Wikipedia's deletion policy and WP:AfD for general information about Articles for Deletion, including a list of article deletions sorted by day of nomination.

This list is also part of the larger list of deletion debates related to India.

Moved from draft without being reviewed, clearly fails WP:GNG, setting a Guinness world record is not enough to pass the criteria. Theroadislong (talk) 17:21, 26 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]

I acknowledge that the article may not currently meet notability guidelines. I request that this article be moved back to the **Draft** space instead of being deleted so that I can work on improving it with better sources. Digiflock (talk) 18:20, 26 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]

It had previously been returned to draft so that is not an option. Theroadislong (talk) 20:21, 26 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]

• Comment: Given the move history of this article, which originated as the userpage for creator Digiflock (talk · contribs), someone might want to do something about the fact that Talk:Santhi Sathyan contains the type of messages that actually should be on User talk:Digiflock (a user talk page that should not have been moved)… (No opinion or comment on the article itself.)

• Delete: Well, World Records aren't notable here, so stories about doing a non-notable thing only, don't make you notable. Outside of the Record, this person has not done anything we'd consider notable. This is just a non-starter, nothing for notability. Oaktree b (talk) 02:49, 27 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]
• Delete: No sign of Notability. Zuck28 (talk) 12:43, 27 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]
• Delete. Guinness record does not make the subject notable and the degree of significance of the subject and of role as athlete and trainer is not enough to warrant a page on the subject. Fails WP:GNG. RangersRus (talk) 14:03, 27 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]

The article fails Wikipedia's notability guidelines (WP:GNG, WP:TVSHOW) due to lack of significant coverage in reliable, independent sources. Most sources are trivial, promotional, or affiliated, failing to establish lasting notability. Per WP:NOT, WP:INDISCRIMINATE, and WP:V, this does not merit inclusion and should be deleted. The page was also deleted previously and the logs are here. Sackiii (talk) 20:25, 25 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]

• Keep: a WP:CREATIVE pass as screenwriter of at least three notable films Joseph (2018), Nayattu (2021) and Officer on Duty (2025) and a WP:DIRECTOR pass with Ela Veezha Poonchira (2022). Plus meets WP:ANYBIO with the award he received for that film. -Mushy Yank. 22:57, 25 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]

What does WP:TVSHOW have to do with a screenwriter/director? It's about TV productions not about people. -Mushy Yank. 23:00, 25 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]

• Keep. The director has won notable awards and satisfies the first criterion of ANYBIO: The person has received a well-known and significant award or honor, or has been nominated for such an award several times.Chanel Dsouza (talk) 07:17, 26 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Article subject fails WP:ORGCRITE. Taking a look at Google News shows no WP:SIGCOV, only passing mentions. Article's only source has been the school's own website since 2017. Parksfan1955 (talk) 07:12, 24 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]

• Delete. Since the subject lacks in-depth coverage in multiple reliable sources, it fails WP:ORGCRITE.Chanel Dsouza (talk) 13:04, 25 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]
