 * I dunno. It says that he published a book of poetry and a "famous" research book. There's not a shred of verification, though. If he did do those things, his notability would depend on how popular his poems and his research were. But who can tell? Not I. Herostratus 19:00, 18 September 2006 (UTC)
 *  very weak keep  let's be careful here. How do we know he's not notable? I'd like to hear some confirmation by someone familiar with the Malayalam language or at least someone very familiar with the litterature of India. Here's a source that mentions him . Now of course I have absolutely no way of knowing whether that site is just rewriting from Wikipedia content so that does not say much. Still I think a bit of research is needed before we go ahead and throw this away. Pascal.Tesson 21:07, 18 September 2006 (UTC)
 * Comment tried to do more research. I have to say I find no trace of this guy or his books but again I'm not entirely convinced this means much. I guess I'll change my vote to very weak delete unless someone can come up with some sort of reference21:14, 18 September 2006 (UTC)


 * Weak delete per nom and Pascal.Tesson. Notability is definitely not established in the article. --Antorjal 14:23, 19 September 2006 (UTC)


 * Comment: I proposed the article for deletion. There are hundreds of such poetasters in every land. If you are going to put everyone of them in an encylopedia, it would be a compendium about Tom, Dick and Harry. I am fairly familiar with the literary world of Kerala and I never heard of such a poet. Kuntan 14:31, 19 September 2006 (UTC)
