No notability --Kiran Gopi (talk) 10:06, 6 March 2011 (UTC)
 * Delete - it would say little, rather than no, notability. The citations check out, but I'm not sure if there's enough to prove notability.  There are virtually no good links online. Bearian (talk) 21:44, 7 March 2011 (UTC)

 * Keep. The subject is a notable atheist and skeptic as can be seen from this and this. His web presence is not so good, probably because he writes in Malayalam. Salih  ( talk ) 06:59, 12 March 2011 (UTC)
 * Any notable work? Can't say web presence is not good beacuse he writes in Malayalam. --Kiran Gopi (talk) 11:24, 12 March 2011 (UTC)
 * Bhakthiyum Kamavum (Spirituality and Sex) is one of his notable works published by Malayalam publishing major D. C. Books; a review can be found here. Salih  ( talk ) 19:29, 12 March 2011 (UTC)

 * Delete. Fails on every bullet point for notability. The citations listed in the article current to March 12th are from google books and his name isn't even listed it just comes up in the search for approx. two books.  Sy  n 07:28, 13 March 2011 (UTC)
 * Please look carefully, both the books have his name. Click on the link 'more' to see the complete list. Salih  ( talk ) 09:06, 13 March 2011 (UTC)
 * Puzha is D.C. books own site, can't cliam that as a 3rd party References, eventhough what is notability of that book? Best selling or any notable award?--Kiran Gopi (talk) 07:43, 14 March 2011 (UTC)
 * I am not aware of any awards to the book, but it is a book published about 30 years ago and still in print. Salih  ( talk ) 13:41, 14 March 2011 (UTC)
 * Even if they are his books, you can't use "just" his books to prove his own notability. Its only proof that he either wrote or helped to write a few books. If you can manage to toss in a few page numbers to source the statements in the article, you have a start. To me it just looks like an unreferenced blp that can't be sourced through multiple sources independant of the author.  Sy  n 13:06, 14 March 2011 (UTC)
 * First of all, I am not trying to establish the notability of the person through his book. I was merely trying to answer Kiran Gopi's question "Any notable work?" Agree that large portion of the article is not sourced, but it is not an unreferenced BLP as you claim. If somebody challenges the unreferenced portion, it can be removed. I will try for getting the relevant page numbers you asked. Salih  ( talk ) 13:41, 14 March 2011 (UTC)


 * Comment. I have had to remove several references from the article because they were to "books" that are simply print-on-demand copies of Wikipedia articles. Phil Bridger (talk) 14:00, 14 March 2011 (UTC)
 * Oops! I didn’t realize that. Salih  ( talk )
