Known for only directing one film. Fails WP:FILMMAKER. Sources are mostly about the movie rather than the person. Other option would be a redirect. Thilsebatti (talk) 11:23, 9 June 2026 (UTC)

• Note: this discussion has been included in the AfD sorting lists for the following topics: Actors and filmmakers, Businesspeople, and India. Thilsebatti (talk) 11:23, 9 June 2026 (UTC)

• Strongly Keep i think the nominator is not fully familiar with Wikipedias guidelines. This article appears to satisfy both WP:GNG and WP:BASIC. Wikipedia contains many biographies with weaker sourcing than this one. In contrast this article is supported by multiple reliable independent journalistic sources that provide significant coverage of the subject, which strongly supports keeping the article.~2026-33970-10 (talk) 16:03, 9 June 2026 (UTC)

  Wikipedia contains many biographies with weaker sourcing than this one; other stuffs exists doesn't mean that anyone can create any other similar articles. Which are the multiple reliable independent journalistic sources that provide significant coverage of the subject? Can you mention here? Thilsebatti (talk) 16:47, 9 June 2026 (UTC)

  The answer you have given is a very unprofessional answer. What is Other stuff? Does it exist but you can't make it similar? So.. the rules should be the same for everyone why are different rules made for everyone ~2026-36789-37 (talk) 17:40, 25 June 2026 (UTC)( Blocked [[WP:Sockpuppetry|sockpuppet]] of Alakmarsaify, see investigation)

  Note this article has a fair about of involvement from the Alakmarsaify sock farm. The temp account was reported there as well with a CU response of "sorted". Ravensfire (talk) 19:07, 9 June 2026 (UTC)

  And you call anyone a socks without thinking and without any evidence... first prove it. ~2026-36789-37 (talk) 17:43, 25 June 2026 (UTC)( Blocked [[WP:Sockpuppetry|sockpuppet]] of Alakmarsaify, see investigation)

• Redirect to Dilli Dark - all of the sources are just him talking about his only film. No stand-alone notability. Spiderone^{(Talk to Spider)} 17:27, 9 June 2026 (UTC)
• Redirect to Dilli Dark: Does not meet WP:NFILMMAKER, and not enough sourcing focusing on the person, rather than the film. Perhaps (hopefully!) this will change in the future but not right now. Ravensfire (talk) 19:05, 9 June 2026 (UTC)
• Delete: Not currently notable. I note this was moved to main article space by a sock, and so would see draftify as a good ATD. UtherSRG (talk) 20:20, 9 June 2026 (UTC)

• Merge to Dilli Dark as there may be a bit of material here which would help flesh out that article. Failing that, redirect. M kuhner (talk) 14:48, 25 June 2026 (UTC)
• Redirect to Dilli Dark. Fails WP:NFILMMAKER. RangersRus (talk) 13:57, 28 June 2026 (UTC)
• Redirect. Allow limited merge from history, or restoration should be become known for another film. SmokeyJoe (talk) 10:47, 2 July 2026 (UTC)
