This article appears to be about a non-notable re-dubbing of the 1989 film Layanam.

• Given the extensive coverage of Indian films and film-makers in Wikipedia, it seems anomalous that there is no article for Balram Sharma, nor one for Ruchi Pictures
• The Ruchi Pictures website claims that the company "was started nearly two decade back in 1979", amongst other things that are of a dubious nature. (For example, the production house "Super Good Films" appears to have started by a different person)
• The four references in this article point to

1. the "Ruchi Pictures" website,
2. the Wikipedia article for Layanam,
3. A YouTube of unknown provenance, and
4. the IMDb entry for Layanam

• Most tellingly, there appears to be no mention at all of this movie in the usual sources for Indian cinema, not even blogs or forums

Article would appear to fail Wikipedia:Notability (films), to say the least. For the reasons set out above, I would also argue against a re-direct to Layanam. Shirt58 (talk) 10:49, 23 December 2013 (UTC)[reply]

• Redirect – The article fails
  verified correctly. Miss Dirty seems to be a colloquial term for Dirty Martini (burlesque) - Pmedema (talk) 18:57, 23 December 2013 (UTC)[reply

• Delete temporarily as being slightly
  WP:NF is met. I also believe the article's title may not be the correct one, which adds to problems in finding sources. Looking afield for actress Silk Smitha writer/director Thulasidas producer Balram Sharma and company Ruchi Pictures for instance shows the project is being discussed. If he wants it to continue work, article can be userfied back to its author with the suggestion that he do a better job of expanding and sourcing. No decent place to redirect.
