Reviewing my decision of this article that I’ myself created. She is a TV anchor only famous through ISS-07, & no other programs. Apart from this, no other independent source. I now think no need of keeping it as an encyclopedia article (not now, may be later). Let you decide what you think. Avinesh Jose (talk) 04:40, 14 December 2007 (UTC) (categories)[reply]

Comment: (nominator & author) No, since there are other users involved in the editing, I am not sure about placing CSD G7. That’s why I suggested AfD / to be decided by established users / admins decision. --Avinesh Jose (talk) 05:20, 15 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Though she is insufferable, Idea Star Singer is one of the most successful programs in Malayalam TV, and that IMO, whether we like her or not, makes her quite notable. Tintin 13:19, 14 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Comment: (nominator & author): It's not a question of liking her or not (otherwise I wouldn't create). Lack of reliable third-party sources (WP:SOURCES) google search provides all results to blog sites, except this . Well, WP is an encyclopedia, not a tabloid (WP:BLP). The existing article says little info & nothing more to write. I doubt a real need of encyclopedia article about her at this stage. It doesn't meet notability criteria (see Entertainers) also. --Avinesh Jose (talk) 05:20, 15 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]

There must be sources in print - magazines like Vanitha must surely have dedicated several pages for her - but these don't have archives online, and it is usually infernally difficult to search the archives of the Malayalam newspapers. There is one report here on the Miss Kerala contest 2000 but it mentions little more than the name of her parents. Tintin 18:30, 15 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Vanitha is dedicated several pages for even successful female LIC agents (LOL). But I couldn't find any independent news coverege as no contribution, awards and records from the person per WP:BIO. --Avinesh Jose (talk) 05:31, 17 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Redirect to Idea Star Singer, unless some non-trivial mentions in Malayalam publications are provided as sources. utcursch | talk 08:31, 16 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Agree per utcursch, a brief bio is already there ISS which is satisfactory. --Avinesh Jose (talk) 06:53, 18 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Comment : She is a TV anchor only famous through ISS - I don't really agree with this. She has been anchoring (and modelling) since a long time. She was a very familiar face even before Idea Star Singer. Also, she is arguably the most popular "Miss Kerala" too.--thunderboltz ^(TALK) 14:13, 18 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]

What I meant to say that she has become very famous through ISS though she hosted some programs. Previously she was also like other Miss keralites who are all a little famous.--Avinesh Jose (talk) 05:06, 19 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]
