A draft of this article was declined and just two days later this is created directly in the main space. A conflict of interest is declared on the draft but that has nothing to do with this nomination. The subject fails WP:NBIO per WP:BEFORE. Ednabrenze (talk) 11:22, 4 December 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Hi Ednabrenze please check again this is not a film. He is my mentor, Krishnan Vasant is a filmmaker with 15 films Prasadpaturi (talk) 11:44, 4 December 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Weak Keep Im on the fence here, the author has disclosed his COI with the subject however the subject might just satisfy WP:BIO as per the source here also there is more coverage by the same newspaper on the subject. Pizza on Pineapple ^{(Let's eat🍕)} 13:20, 4 December 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Delete: I do not see WP:SIGCOV other than the ref1. The nominator mentioned WP:FILM, however, I think this topic fails WP:CREATIVE AlphaCore talk 14:03, 4 December 2025 (UTC)[reply]

@Ednabrenze Please review your nomination comment, the article is a WP:BIO. AlphaCore talk 14:09, 4 December 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Sir he has done 15 films. you can check all of his films once on wikipedia and then decide.

He played a major role in co-creating a significant or well-known work or collective body of work. In addition, such work must have been the primary subject of multiple independent periodical articles or reviews, or of an independent and notable work please check his films once sir Prasadpaturi (talk) 07:52, 5 December 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Delete - Fails WP:CREATIVE. OP was told this twice at Draft:Krishnan Vasant prior to creating it live in the mainspace. Would suggest draftifying as an WP:ATD if OP agrees not to move it to mainspace on their own. --CNMall41 (talk) 19:34, 5 December 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Sir i ask AlphaCore but they never replied. If 15 films are not collective body of work then i dont know what is. Please tell me what i did wrong Prasadpaturi (talk) 12:41, 6 December 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Krishnan Vasant is not notable enough for websites like 'Cinetown' to have listed his date of birth. [It is left empty.]

Shouldn't it be deleted?—I am a new editor, so I just came here to see/understand the deletion process. Z-Astro3 (talk) 14:53, 6 December 2025 (UTC)[reply]
In fact, there are 0 (reliable) sources staring his date of birth. The only website is Filmy Focus – There is no information backing the statement on the website. Z-Astro3 (talk) 14:55, 6 December 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Sir what is cinetown? Why do you need his date of birth? Prasadpaturi (talk) 16:59, 6 December 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Delete — Ref 1 helps, but on its own it's not enough. The other refs basically just bring him up while discussing the films. We'd need more independent SIGCOV for WP:GNG/WP:NBIO. EmilyR34 (talk) 06:29, 7 December 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Keep: Since when did we start deleting articles that clearly pass WP:CREATIVE? They have 12 wikilinked feature film credits that don’t seem to be shared with another cinematographer. Usually I never vouch for interview based sources, but this one is around 1000 words long for a not so mainstream cinematographer and there’s enough independent content to write about. WP:BEFORE has no new sources that aren’t already in the article, so don’t bother searching for more. Jeraxmoira🐉 (talk) 20:10, 7 December 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Sir he has done 15 films please check once Prasadpaturi (talk) 10:49, 8 December 2025 (UTC)[reply]
