A film critic of The Hindu newspaper but not qualified for standalone article. Yes he does write movie reviews; so does 500 other critics in India. The Avengers 04:21, 30 November 2015 (UTC)[reply]

  • Strong keep - He's not just a critic, he's also a national award winner.[1], which alone should be enough for notability. Coderzombie (talk) 04:36, 30 November 2015 (UTC)[reply]
We need some third party reliable sources other than BITSAA and The Hindu, where he is employed. Indian Govt. website will mention his name if he got National award. --The Avengers 02:20, 1 December 2015 (UTC)[reply]
Here you go. The official announcement. Coderzombie (talk) 05:53, 1 December 2015 (UTC)[reply]
@The Avengers: The same sources lie before you as well. A badly-written article always doesn't equate to an AFD. —Vensatry (Talk) 09:43, 1 December 2015 (UTC)[reply]
  • Comment: While my comment is neither about keeping nor deleting his article, it can be expanding using the existing sources, which establish his notability. Kailash29792 (talk) 11:15, 30 November 2015 (UTC)[reply]
    • This discussion is all about the notability the subject, not the article. —Vensatry (Talk) 11:59, 30 November 2015 (UTC)[reply]

  • Keep per Coderzombie and Vensatry. The award is sourced in the article. §§Dharmadhyaksha§§ {Talk / Edits} 04:31, 1 December 2015 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep The award is quite sufficient; then there is his position as deputy editor of what I believe is a national newspaper in India. Vanamonde93 (talk) 08:37, 2 December 2015 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep Yes, the article is not well written but that does not mean it should be deleted. There are enough sources to keep this article on Wikipedia. There are lots of wikipedian who can make this article better. Suman420 (talk) 14:02, 3 December 2015 (UTC)[reply]
