Fails WP:CREATIVE -- but one article in The Hindu to source this. Note that there is a person in the United States Chicago area with the same name [1]. Brianhe (talk) 19:22, 27 October 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Keep – A notable actor who has also directed a couple of films. Sourcing needs work though. —Vensatry _(Talk) 14:53, 28 October 2015 (UTC)[reply]

So how do we know he is notable without sourcing? – Brianhe (talk) 15:00, 28 October 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Well, he certainly meets WP:ENTERTAINER. You can always consider WP:ATD before nominating articles for deletion. —Vensatry _(Talk) 17:39, 28 October 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Keep - Kitty is a famous actor in South Indian films and adequate references are added, so please remove the page deletion tag.Rajeshbieee (talk) 03:58, 6 November 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Keep per the significant coverage in reliable sources.

  The article notes:
  Chennai: Survival of the fittest might soon become the mantra of the bygone era, as it is now time to say, survival of the multi-faceted. And it is our Tamil film actors who are standing true to this, the best examples being Arvind Swamy and Raja Krishnamoorthy (popularly known as Kitty) who are successful entrepreneurs too.
  ...
  Raja Krishnamoorthy working as a HR consultant, has made his way up in films and management.
  ...
  Fondly called as Kitty, Raja is an actor, writer and director with more than 65 films to his credit. He does not miss opportunities even in small screens and continues to concentrate in different spheres, it is learnt.
There is sufficient coverage in reliable sources to allow Raja Krishnamoorthy to pass Wikipedia:Notability#General notability guideline, which requires "significant coverage in reliable sources that are independent of the subject".

The coverage is just enough to meet Wikipedia:Notability#General notability guideline, though it is on the light side, so I'm a "weak keep". Cunard (talk) 06:41, 18 November 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Keep, but move to his proper name Raja Krishnamoorthy. Stifle (talk) 09:44, 18 November 2015 (UTC)[reply]
