Curien Kaniamparambil

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

The article was de-PRODed without being fixed. It falls into WP:A7 at the moment due to the lack of sources. If someone here would like to improve it to a point where it passes WP:GNG it would be greatly appreciated, otherwise it should be deleted.

 * Comment No, it's not A7, because it asserts significance. It appears to be a (quite literally, in this case) hagiography, either written or translated by someone with a less than ideal command of English.  I'm not familiar with the specific denomination, but if substantiated, these assertions would appear to put him past WP:CLERGY. Note that since he appears to have died a couple of years back, this doesn't have BLP-level cleanup urgency. Jclemens (talk) 18:40, 15 June 2017 (UTC)
 * You're quite right. The problem that I have is sources - not enough independent and reliable sources to confirm significance. Nicnote  •  ask me a question  •  contributions  18:52, 15 June 2017 (UTC)


 * Keep , he appears to be part of the Malankara Jacobite Syrian Orthodox Church (though the English is so bad it could be one of the other Malankara churches). The English is very bad on all the sites that are coming up about him, but I am fairly confident that he was not a bishop (no mention of episcopal ordination anywhere and he is married), which means WP:CLERGY wouldn't come into play. That being said, he appears to pass WP:ANYBIO based on this source. Being awarded the highest honour allowed to a non-bishop in an international church passes 1 and almost certainly passes ANYBIO 2 based on the information that is available. Its not good sourcing, but I suspect the good sourcing that we would have on him isn't likely to be easily found in professional quality English. Also as a note, the vast majority of the text was a copyvio, and I've removed it and requested revision deletion. TonyBallioni (talk) 15:36, 17 June 2017 (UTC)
 * Keep -- Notable as a bible translator. If "very rev" is correct, he should be holdin g a post equivalent to the dean of a CAthedral.  Peterkingiron (talk) 17:34, 18 June 2017 (UTC)
