A non-notable professor and actor. The subject fails both WP:PROF and WP:NACTOR. The article fails WP:GNG too. Nakshathra Nair (talk) 05:32, 13 July 2021 (UTC)

• Keep. As demonstrated in Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Rajith Kumar by User:Nsk92, he has WP:SIGCOV due to the reality show and several episodes of controversial remarks that received high profile coverage prior to the reality show (and were probably the reason he was cast to begin with).--Eostrix  (^{🦉 hoot} _hoot🦉) 06:03, 13 July 2021 (UTC)
• Keep.

• Comment Toddy1, above mentioned sources are just few statements about his activities and all. I'm from Kerala and I know the language. The sources you provided [https://www.google.com/search?q=%22Rajith+Kumar%22+-wikipedia&tbm=nws&ei=5kXtYPT5BbiPhbIPrciDmAc&start=200&sa=N&ved=2ahUKEwj0hMn-x9_xAhW4R0EAHS3kAHM4tAEQ8tMDegQIBxBO&biw=1308&bih=814&dpr=2 here] is not valid. The articles are from paid websites, those does not support to justify your points. Nakshathra Nair (talk) 08:18, 15 July 2021 (UTC)

:::The google search you complain about gives articles in The Times of India, The Indian Express and The Hindu. These are mainstream newspapers, not paid websites.-- Toddy1 (talk) 10:24, 15 July 2021 (UTC)

• Comment : He does not have any notable roles in any films. The article completely fails WP:NACTOR. And I admit, the article is mostly about the controversies about him, but that is not a criteria for an WP article. Nakshathra Nair (talk) 08:22, 15 July 2021 (UTC)
