K. A. Shaji (journalist)

 * – ( View AfD View log )

Appears to be a promotional piece about a non-notable journalist. The sources present in the article as well as before search turn up articles by him, but nothing about him, hence fails WP:GNG and WP:JOURNALIST.-- TheWikiholic (talk) 18:27, 6 September 2021 (UTC)

 Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.
 * Keep An award winner in the journalism (by Sanskriti Foundation), keeps GNG.--Irshadpp (talk) 07:10, 13 September 2021 (UTC)
 * Sanskriti Foundation may be notable, but the Sanskriti National Journalism Award isn't notable as it's not even covered on the foundations Wikipedia page. The award or accolade must have been reported in a reliable source independent of those making the award (an obvious press release repeated in another publication is insufficient).— TheWikiholic (talk) 10:17, 13 September 2021 (UTC)
 * National page coverage by a staff reporter of The Hindu daily must be enough to prove the notability of mentioned award.--Irshadpp (talk) 11:29, 13 September 2021 (UTC)
 * Delete Agree with nomination. The Foundation is not even notable in itself. TrangaBellam (talk) 18:38, 13 September 2021 (UTC)
