Merge Kollywood 100 crore club

The Kollywood 100 crore club article is merely a subset of the highest grossing films. and so it is already covered here. There is not sufficient content to require or even suggest a spin off daughter article. -- TRPoD aka The Red Pen of Doom 05:56, 12 November 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Yes, I say just merge it with a different article because it is not significant in coverage. ---- Kailash29792 (talk) 06:17, 18 November 2013 (UTC)[reply]

There are no reliable sources!

I added the press releases by the production studios but user TheRedPenOfDoom removed them saying press releases were not reliable sources. However for Thuppakki this source by the Times of India is seemingly accepted though it is clearly based on the press release of the studio. Similarly for Enthiran there is this source by Business Standard or this by The Hindu Business Line (there are many more) which I believe will be accepted too but which is also based on the press release by the studio only. What difference does it make? According to this Indian Express article Enthiran's even collected Rs 200-225 crore worldwide. What are reliable sources then (in this context)?

The truth is "no trade analyst is tracking the collections in the South so we can't arrive at specific figures on a film's box-office run. No producer is willing to announce the exact figure either, making the estimate process practically impossible" (Source). So, it actually does not make any sense to have this article. Either a producer announces a figure (which other sites will make a news article out of) or there are no figures. Veera Dheera Sooran (talk) 18:56, 12 November 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Where the generally reliable sources, like ToI, state that their claims are based on press releases, we shouldnt use them. However, there are times where reliable sources have done independent estimates and come up with figures that we can use.-- TRPoD aka The Red Pen of Doom 22:19, 12 November 2013 (UTC)[reply]
