Haindavam (Malayalam)

I prodded the page before but the creator removed the prod notice. I correctly explained that it might not meet the GNG, is written like an ad, and unsourced in the prod notice. ''TheChampionMan1234 07:03, 29 September 2012 (UTC)
 * Comment: This article is now a candidate for WP:SPEEDY for being advertising or promotion. Jo-Jo Eumerus (talk) 22:02, 29 September 2012 (UTC)

 * tentative delete I removed the speedy, because the article is informative about the book, and not purely promotional. It reads to me like a copyvio of a book review, but I have not located the source. The book is not in worldcat, but many Indian books are not. This is the sort of article for which it is almost impossible for anyone but the author of the article to find sources. I've reminded him.  DGG ( talk ) 17:05, 30 September 2012 (UTC)
 * Delete. Pure spam. No evidence that the book even exists let alone that it is notable. &mdash; RHaworth (talk · contribs) 19:20, 30 September 2012 (UTC)

 * Comment Before deciding to delete based on obvious COI, we need to determine of the article itself is kept, even if 90% of the content is deleted. Since this is published in and for an Indian audience it will be more difficult to track down sources, but that doesn't mean it's not notable in India. -- Green Cardamom (talk) 01:04, 2 October 2012 (UTC)
 * I am interested in this topic and in this work (Haindavam), and am presently in the process of improving this page.A number of persons I know too are keen on keeping this page undeleted, but with improvements in it to comply with the Wikipedia policies. Being rather new to this process, I am taking some time over it, and would suggest that it be retained for at least another week so the improvements we are working on can be posted.Thanks. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 117.216.42.77 (talk) 04:13, 2 October 2012 (UTC)
