Context

I draftified a different version of this not too long ago. It has additional references not in this article. WP:TOOSOON was my opinion on the subject. Regards, Zindor (talk) 15:29, 11 September 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Zindor, As a director of 6 notable films, Tirumala surely qualifies WP:FILMMAKER right? Ab207 (talk) 13:55, 12 September 2020 (UTC)[reply]

IMO not that clear cut. I illuminate more on the review here. Regards, Zindor (talk) 14:31, 12 September 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Zindor, Your judgement must have been well thought, I assume. But now we are in odd situation where neatly arranged article is in draftspace while a poorly shaped article is on mainspace. Is there a way a merge these two? Ab207 (talk) 15:48, 12 September 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Now that's a fun question lol. Personally i'd be inclined to AfD this article, and when we reach such a time that Kishore Tirumala becomes notable, move the old draft into mainspace. I've been holding off on the AfD nom because i thought Amkgp might be interested in doing it. If the article gets kept at AfD, which seems unlikely but not impossible, then we can figure out merge options which should be easy given these are just stubs.

Zindor, You may go ahead for AfD as I see you had already posted concerns here ~ Amkgp 💬 16:37, 12 September 2020 (UTC)[reply]

@Zindor and Amkgp: Tirumala's directorials: Vunnadhi Okate Zindagi, Nenu.. Sailaja..., Chitralahari, Pillaiyar Theru Kadaisi Veedu etc. have received multiple reviews from major Indian newspapers. These should be good enough for him to qualify WP:NDIRECTOR, imo. --Ab207 (talk) 18:19, 12 September 2020 (UTC)[reply]

@Ab207: I discounted Pillaiyar Theru Kadaisi Veedu (PTKV) because the Indian Express critic effectively binned the thing. Same with Nenu.. Sailaga.., both the TOI and The Hindu critics say it doesn't really bring anything new. Works that receive trash reviews don't really provide a good measure for working out the notability of a creative professional. That being said, The Hindu review you found about PTKV and the reviews of Chitralahari are enough for me to be convinced that the subject now passes NDIRECTOR. That was good work. I've marked the page as reviewed.

If you're merging content over from the draft, be sure to provide attribution in your edit summary about where it came from. Kind regards, Zindor (talk) 19:44, 12 September 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Zindor, Thanks for that. While I don't concur with your assessment of Nenu.. Sailaja..., I'm glad the issue is sorted out. Thanks again for being responsive! Ab207 (talk) 20:05, 12 September 2020 (UTC)[reply]
