A review about the sources used in the article
Some other sources like: Deccan Chronicle, The Hindu and The Times of India are good but they are not support his notability. Authordom (talk) 08:43, 14 January 2020 (UTC)
 * 1) LINK 1; Source: The New Indian Express: Date: 09th August 2016 - This link is the source for establishing that he was Kerala state convener of Bharatiya Janata Party's Intellectual Cell. Are the position is notable? The Intellectual Cell is a wing of the Kerala state committee of the political party. The political party not a major in the state, only one seat in the Kerala Assembly and no any seat in Loksabha from Kerala. The source was used three times in the article separately.
 * 2) LINK 2; Source: Haindava Keralam; Date: 28 October 2010 - This is a promotional release by a Sangh Parivar linked portal. Not a reliable source.
 * 3) LINK 3; LINK 4; LINK 5; Sources: Non Reliable Malayalam portals - These are tag links not that sources.
 * 4) LINK 6; LINK 7; Source:vod-videos.janamtv.com - These are links of a Portal linked to RSS and BJP authority of the state and these are not working properly, but redirecting to a YouTube channel.
 * 5) LINK 8; Source:Janam TV; Date: 2017-03-09 - This a link of a Portal linked to RSS and BJP authority of the state.
 * 6) LINK 9; LINK 10; LINK 11; LINK 12; LINK 13; Source: Some Malayalam portals - non reliable sources.


 * A review about the "review":
 * TNIE is a highly reliable and independent source. TGM is not a politician and RSS is not a political party, even for a politician notability does not depend on whether his party is major or minor in a particular state. No problem in citing a source 3 or 15 times.
 * It's a website, NOT a portal. And from where did you got the information that it is linked to Sangh Parivar, your source?
 * NOT "portals". Mangalam and Chandrika are "newspapers", reliable and are among the oldest Malayalam dailies, with established reputation. Asianet News is a reliable and among the oldest news channels in Kerala, also THE most watched Malayalam news channel, per data from BARC.
 * Again, NOT a "portal", Janam TV is a news channel. Redirecting means it was once live, such sources should not be removed because of its current status. No matter BJP or INC, reliability depends on the specific content being cited. Do you find any problems with the content? If so then provide counter sources for justification.
 * Same as above.
 * Give me a break. Portals? Madhyamam is a reliable Malayalam newspaper, Asianet News and MediaOne TV (subsidiary of Madhyamam) are news channels. Not to mention that Madhyamam and MediaOne are Jamaat-e-Islami newspaper and channel, just noting.


 * He was already found to be notable. You can challenge it though. 137.97.92.43 (talk) 19:10, 22 January 2020 (UTC)

Recovery from invalid fork
An inadvertent cut and paste fork occurred following a refund and good faith contributions from that fork form myself and have been moved to this article as a single cut paste. I am hoping to get confirmation from Padavalamkuttanpilla that their edits of earlier part of 30 January 2020 have been faithful copied to this fork and they have no problems with attribution. Part of those edits at oldid 938369392 resolved a possible (Eariwg's tool 49% from memory), and it was only possible, copy violation against a specific url ; the edit brought this below 3% so I find removal of the copyvio tag appropriate. If you do not understand this feel free to contact me. Thankyou.Djm-leighpark (talk) 23:22, 30 January 2020 (UTC)
 * If there is no response by 19:00 I intend at some point before end of UK weekend execute the following move sequence: "Draft:T. G. Mohandas" -> "Draft talk:T. G. Mohandas 2/T. G. Mohandas (bad fork)"; "Draft:T. G. Mohandas 2"->"Draft:T. G. Mohandas" (should take talk with it if not move that as well) "Draft talk:T. G. Mohandas 2/T. G. Mohandas (bad fork)" -> "Draft talk:T. G. Mohandas/T. G. Mohandas (bad fork)"; note existance of "Draft talk:T. G. Mohandas/T. G. Mohandas (bad fork)" in "Draft talk:T. G. Mohandas"; Db-G7 redirects at "Draft talk:T. G. Mohandas 2/T. G. Mohandas (bad fork)"; "Draft:T. G. Mohandas 2" & "Draft talk:T. G. Mohandas 2"; clear In-uses.  Thankyou.Djm-leighpark (talk) 07:45, 31 January 2020 (UTC)
 * It has been confirmed at this version is good.  The bad fork is at Draft:T. G. Mohandas (bad fork), and I will at some point call for that to be deleted.  Their are current redirects at "T. G. Mohandas 2" and when those are deleted this page will move there.  I think we should almost be done, certainly edit away. Thankyou.Djm-leighpark (talk) 09:16, 31 January 2020 (UTC)
 * Following deletion of redirects this page is now page at "Draft talk:T. G. Mohandas" from "Draft talk:T. G. Mohandas 2" so everything should be pretty well perfect and everything as it should be. This simple alswer is: "ignore this section completely".  Thankyou.  ✅ Djm-leighpark (talk) 13:46, 31 January 2020 (UTC)

Unreliable source tagging
It would seem reasonable that people tagging source as unreliable source? would use the reason= parameter to indicate the reason for the unreliable source? Otherwise the effect is to disrupt. And very precise pointing is required if necessary to RFC's or perennial sources or whatever. My opinion is need to be able to audit the tagging otherwise it may be seen as WP:VAGUEWAVE and removed.
