Wikipedia:WikiProject Deletion sorting/Karnataka

This is a collection of discussions on the deletion of articles related to Karnataka. It is one of many deletion lists coordinated by WikiProject Deletion sorting. Anyone can help maintain the list on this page.

Adding a new AfD discussion

Adding an AfD to this page does not add it to the main page at WP:AFD. Similarly, removing an AfD from this page does not remove it from the main page at WP:AFD. If you want to nominate an article for deletion, go through the process on that page before adding it to this page. To add a discussion to this page, follow these steps:

Edit this page and add {{Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/PageName}} to the top of the list. Replace "PageName" with the relevant article name, i.e. the one on the existing AFD discussion. Also, indicate the title of the article in the edit summary as it is particularly helpful to add a link to the article in the edit summary. When you save the page, the discussion will automatically appear.
You should also tag the AfD by adding {{subst:delsort|Karnataka|~~~~}} to it, which will inform editors that it has been listed here. You may place this tag above or below the nomination statement or at the end of the discussion thread.

There are a few scripts and tools that can make this easier.

Removing a closed AfD discussion

Closed AfD discussions are automatically removed by a bot.

Other types of discussions

You can also add and remove other discussions (prod, CfD, TfD etc.) related to Karnataka. For the other XfD's, the process is the same as AfD (except {{Wikipedia:Miscellany for deletion/PageName}} is used for MFD and {{transclude xfd}} for the rest). For PRODs, adding a link with {{prodded}} will suffice.

Further information

For further information see Wikipedia's deletion policy and WP:AfD for general information about Articles for Deletion, including a list of article deletions sorted by day of nomination.

This list is also part of the larger list of deletion debates related to India.

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]

Note: This discussion has been included in the deletion sorting lists for the following topics: People, Film, Entertainment, and India. 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]

Comment 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]
