Article has no sources and makes no credible claim to notability WP:N per WP:GNG and WP:TVSERIES. Article was previously nominated for speedy deletion (A7) which was declined on grounds that although only barely, there was just enough to preclude a speedy delete.

- I'm not clear on how a broadcast television soap opera isn't a claim of notability. Isn't it defacto notability? Is the channel its broadcast on minor? Is the viewership small? I am not being rhetorical, I'm not understanding why this article shouldn't be kept. Candleabracadabra (talk) 01:43, 22 January 2014 (UTC)
- That's a fair question. According to WP:TVSERIES there is a presumption of notability IF the program airs on a national or regional basis, which is not asserted in the article. Further it reads... "In either case, however, the presence or absence of reliable sources is more definitive than the geographic range of the program's audience alone. For instance, a purely local talk radio program can be notable enough for inclusion if it played a role in exposing a major political scandal, and a national television program may not be notable if it was cancelled too quickly to have garnered any significant media coverage." In short, we don't know if it's notable because it has not made any credible claim and has no sources for us to make a prudent determination. -Ad Orientem (talk) 01:59, 22 January 2014 (UTC)
- I'm embarrassed to say it, but even though I am an honorary Tamil, I can't answer these questions. If only SpacemanSpiff were still around... Wait, I do know someone who loves soaps. Sitush, can you please opine? Drmies (talk) 02:39, 22 January 2014 (UTC)

- The article even at the time of AfD claimed that it airs on Jaya TV which fits the "program airs on a national or regional basis" statement. §§Dharmadhyaksha§§ {T/C} 12:08, 22 January 2014 (UTC)
- Redirect to List of programs broadcast by Jaya TV. This is a satellite channel and the program does not seem to have received any coverage in reliable independent sources. It's worth noting, but there isn't enough coverage to justifyt an independent article. Candleabracadabra (talk) 13:40, 22 January 2014 (UTC)
