Doesn't appear to be especially notable and the sources do not suggest otherwise, 2 are to facebook photo albums and the other barely mentions him, prod was declined by an apparent spa Jac16888 ^Talk 18:46, 14 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]

My inclination would be to give the editors a few weeks to come up with reliable sources and establish notability. They are obviously inexperienced, and it seems to me possible (if only a little bit likely) that the subject is indeed notable in Kerala. I have added the page to Wikiproject India to see if anybody takes an interest. (Question: if there are three SPAs which together serve one purpose, does that mean they are properly third-of-a-purpose accounts?) M.boli (talk) 21:17, 14 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]

delete I'm changing my vote to delete. The creators and editors of this article have done very little to establish notability since the article was first AfD nominated, and seem to have given up trying. Furthermore there doesn't seem to be an article on Raghunathan Parali in the Malayalam Wikipedia, which would be a natural home for one. (Somebody who can read the language may correct me on that.) The one week discussion period is almost up. M.boli (talk) 23:40, 20 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion so a clearer consensus may be reached.

Delete. Essentially a translator and minor literary critic. Can't see any notable work as an author. Salih (talk) 17:32, 21 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]
