This has been nominated for deletion before, soft-deleted and then refunded. The AfD rationale was "No evidence of notability. Most refs are YouTube. The Times is a gossip column feature about their new baby. Nothing that adds up to notability. Fails WP:GNG." I don't see that anything has changed – it was blatant promotion before, and still is.

Comment: The creator and REFUND requestor also has a UPE problem related to this article. DMacks (talk) 18:51, 25 June 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Comment: "He is said to have choreographed the introduction song and the climax song for the Superstar." is perhaps my favourite quote from the article, but the whole thing is actually comedy gold, right from Sandy and his wife both being married on the same day, and the happy birth of their Girl child. It almost seems a shame if we lose it. "He has Choreographed for Several Shows including VIJAY AWARDS, VIKATAN AWARDS & VIJAY TELEVISON AWARDS.", you know... I think he's Working still. -- Begoon 19:09, 25 June 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Delete The quality of English is pretty poor and seems fairly promotional but the sourcing seems mostly based on Youtube and thus a lack of RS means I have to vote for deletion. The C of E God Save the Queen! (talk) 20:01, 25 June 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Comment: A news search brings up lots of mentions that he is in the new Bigg Boss Tamil 3, which I believe was also given as a rationale for undeletion. I'm not personally convinced that a spot on a reality show adds enough notability to the sparse existing refs, but I believe the show is "very popular" so you can expect lots of Tamil (at least) media mentions and opposition to deletion from that direction. -- Begoon 20:35, 25 June 2019 (UTC)[reply]

That's why his PR agent is so eager to have this page restored. And I agree (consider this my delete !vote) that merely being a contestant on a game-show does not meet WP:BIO and that this page (as with most related to popular media in that region, will be heavily abused.

Delete Fails BLP and GNG due to insufficient mainstream RS. Also recreated by an undisclosed paid editor with top level COI.. Kudpung กุดผึ้ง (talk) 14:15, 26 June 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Delete Fails WP:GNG. No evidence that it's notable. Barca (talk) 18:33, 26 June 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Delete per nomination and my comments above. Fails WP:GNG. An appearance as a contestant on a reality-game show does not add enough notability to the sparse and poor existing references. The only addition to the dreadful REFUNDed content to date has been the following: "In 2019 , he entered the tamil bigg boss season 3 as one of the contestants which is telecasted in star vijay." and whilst this is certainly true, and the awful prose fits in perfectly with the existing grammar-style-comedy-nightmare, it does just about nothing to increase significance, and still would not even it was well-referenced, which of course it isn't. If the author is indeed being paid for this semi-literate drivel then the client should demand his own "refund". -- Begoon 01:36, 28 June 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Delete - I nominated the first AfD and am quite astonished to see it re-appear in a state that is quite as woeful as the original. Still falls very short of any notion of WP:GNG. Why on earth do we restore content like this ? Velella ^{Velella Talk} 16:50, 28 June 2019 (UTC)[reply]
regretful delete: like Begoon said above "It seems a shame if we lose it". I mean, look at the introductory photograph of the subject. The entire article is funny. Maybe his PR dislikes/despises him so the PR intentionally made the article into a farce? Also per Begoon, the subject fails GNG. Also per Kudpung's talkpage. The creator claimed on Kudpung's talkpage that he is subject's PR, and subject wants to know why the article was deleted during such an important phase in subject's life (big boss). Proving themselves to be an SPA, with no regard to the project. —usernamekiran(talk) 23:08, 28 June 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Delete I can't comment confidently on the subject's notability - the current sourcing is woefully inadequate, but I haven't done a sufficiently extensive search through Indian, non-English language sources to say for certain that he's not notable; however, the author's UPE issues, and the state of the current sourcing, are too concerning to ignore.
