While the ROW sees Dhanush merely as a Kolaveri boy, he's more than just a singer in the Tamil Film Industry. I've modeled this list based on the existing ones and believe it meets the criteria. Look forward to comments and suggestions —Vensatry (talk) 17:11, 22 February 2017 (UTC)[reply]
- Comments from Aoba47
-
- Include an ALT description for the image.
- What do you mean by "debutant director"? It makes me think of debutante, but I do not think you mean that so I am not sure what this word "debutant" means.
- Debutant is masculine, while debutante is feminine. —Vensatry (talk) 07:24, 23 February 2017 (UTC)[reply]
- I still find that to be an extremely odd word choice as I have never ran across that word at all before, but I guess it is fine. Aoba47 (talk) 19:36, 24 February 2017 (UTC)[reply]
- Be careful about using the following phrase and its variations too much (commercially successful) as it can make this appear too much like a list rather than a cohesive narrative. I would add some variation and be mindful of this.
- Fixed, hopefully. —Vensatry (talk) 07:24, 23 February 2017 (UTC)[reply]
- You use the following transition (The same year) twice in close proximity in the third paragraph of the lead so I would change one of them for variety.
- Rephrased —Vensatry (talk) 07:24, 23 February 2017 (UTC)[reply]
- While it is interesting, is the information about "Why This Kolaveri Di" necessary for a list about his film career? It would seem more appropriate for the article about him or a list directly about his music, but is it appropriate for this list?
- You make a good point, but the song was an integral part of the film in which he starred. So I don't think it's out of place. —Vensatry (talk) 07:24, 23 February 2017 (UTC)[reply]
- If you feel that it is important, then it is fine by me. Aoba47 (talk) 19:36, 24 February 2017 (UTC)[reply]
@Vensatry:@Kailash29792: Great work with the list. Overall, everything looks to be in shape. Once my comments are addressed, then I will support this nomination. Aoba47 (talk) 20:12, 22 February 2017 (UTC)[reply]
- @Vensatry:@Kailash29792: Support: Everything looks good to me. Good luck with this list. If possible, could you look at my FLC as well? Have a wonderful rest of your day. Aoba47 (talk) 19:36, 24 February 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Comments from Skr15081997
- "All films are in Tamil, unless otherwise noted", this might be mentioned in a note in the "Notes" column header (like Note(s)[a]).
- He has a separate page for awards and noms. I don't think there's any need to mention them in the "Notes" column.
- It was decided to list down major awards in these lists. —Vensatry (talk) 14:50, 18 April 2017 (UTC)[reply]
- Character and director names should be sorted by the last name.
- Most South Indians do not have last names. Also, on what basis should Velraj, Vetrimaaran, Hari, Suraj, et al, sort? —Vensatry (talk) 14:50, 18 April 2017 (UTC)[reply]
- The redlinks can be removed.
- They are absolutely fine (and necessary) here. —Vensatry (talk) 14:50, 18 April 2017 (UTC)[reply]
- The Telegraph (Calcutta) should be The Telegraph
- There are many newspapers with the given name. We shouldn't expect our readers to follow the link always. —Vensatry (talk) 14:50, 18 April 2017 (UTC)[reply]
- The image is probably a bit small, you can increase its size.
- The current size looks fine, IMO. —Vensatry (talk) 14:50, 18 April 2017 (UTC)[reply]
- mob film is more American than a word of Indian English. --Skr15081997 (talk) 09:49, 17 April 2017 (UTC)[reply]
- @Skr15081997: Thanks for the comments. —Vensatry (talk) 14:50, 18 April 2017 (UTC)[reply]
- Support: based on the above arguments and recent edits.--Skr15081997 (talk) 15:00, 18 April 2017 (UTC)[reply]
- Comments by Vedant
Will take a look soon. NumerounovedantTalk 18:58, 20 April 2017 (UTC) Looks mostly ready, just some comments:[reply]
- The first paragraph barely talks about any of his roles in the films. In contrast, the subsequent paragraphs focus more on his roles. Just for the sake of balance you might want to talk about some of his early roles as well.
- Almost all (AOKK being an exception) films of the era belong to the masala template; to be very honest, there isn't anything significant about the characters. —Vensatry (talk) 11:40, 22 April 2017 (UTC)[reply]
- "The following year" - The use of the phrase on the first two occasions might not be the most desirable as the release years for the preceding entries and never directly mentioned in the sentences. It's just what I feel, opinions might vary on this.
- I think the first instance is fine. Changed the second one. —Vensatry (talk) 11:40, 22 April 2017 (UTC)[reply]
- "which was critically acclaimed as well a box-office success" - as well as?
- Maari and Thanga Magan are missing release years.
- "Dhanush had two releases in 2016—Prabhu Solomon's Thodari, a critical and commercial failure, and the political thriller Kodi, where he played dual roles." - This reads rather awkwardly, can be rephrased.
That's about it. Good job guys. NumerounovedantTalk 19:00, 21 April 2017 (UTC)[reply]
- @Numerounovedant: Thanks for the comments. —Vensatry (talk) 11:40, 22 April 2017 (UTC)[reply]
- Looks good to me. Support. NumerounovedantTalk 19:28, 22 April 2017 (UTC)[reply]
