This page was speedy deleted twice last year under G7 and G11.. this is a BLP on a film producer-turned-politician but basically it fails
WP:POLITICIAN because the subject never elected to state or national level parliament. Second this may also fails
WP:PRODUCER because seemingly he may have produced some Tamil movies but on a closer look, I found that the subject was not the actual producer but some company called Captain Cine Creations which is apparently run or owned by
Vijayakanth... Vijayakanth starred in all the movie mentioned on this page and is brother in law of the subject.

Delete. Unsuccessful election candidates do not pass
WP:NPOL just for being candidates — he has to win the election, not just run in it, to clinch notability as a politician, and otherwise the only other route to a Wikipedia article is to demonstrate that he was already notable enough for an article for some other reason independent of his candidacy itself. But this offers no such evidence at all: film producers don't get an automatic inclusion freebie either, but get Wikipedia articles only if they can be
reliably sourced as clearing
WP:GNGfor their work as film producers — but LK Sudhish's work as a film producer is "referenced" to
IMDb-like databases and
blogs, not to any media coverage about him. There's also a history of
conflict of interest here, as the article's original iteration last year was created by the subject himself as an
WP:AUTOBIO (which, furthermore, falsely claimed his holding of a political office he has not actually held), so even though I can't prove it this time I have my doubts about this version's creator too.

Delete Nominator's assessment is correct, the subject was a candidate for a political office but failed to win said office, and their career as a film producer fails
WP:ENT.--
