 * – ( View AfD View log )

The page was deleted multiple times; see discussion at Articles for deletion/K. Surendran (politician). Creation now requires administrator access and to evade this someone has created the article by slightly altering the name. Malayala Sahityam (talk) 14:07, 2 March 2021 (UTC)

 * Speedy Delete - As per WP:G4. --John B123 (talk) 16:12, 2 March 2021 (UTC)
 * Comment: The second deletion discussion is more relevant than the first, as is the more recent discussion on the declined draft. However, the article in question here, about a political official, has now been replaced by a redirect to the page about the novelist K. Surendran, so should this AfD be closed?

 * No because the article title does not meet WP:NCP and would have to be renamed ... to K. Surendran. SailingInABathTub (talk) 16:56, 2 March 2021 (UTC)


 * Speedy Delete, per Draft:K._Surendran_(politician), Articles for deletion/K. Surendran (politician) (2nd nomination) and WP:G4. SailingInABathTub (talk) 16:56, 2 March 2021 (UTC)
 * Comment - No comments on this discussion. However if this ends in a delete, please re-examine Articles for deletion/TG Mohandas as Surendran is the leader of the party in the state, while T. G. Mohandas is one of the supposed intellectual heads (and prominent punchbag on news-hour debates) of the party in the state.  Jupitus Smart  17:34, 2 March 2021 (UTC)
 * Comment - K. Surendran, the writer, the subject of this article, is a different person from K. Surendran, the politician. All the previous AfDs and the declined draft are about the politician. Tayi Arajakate  Talk 00:56, 3 March 2021 (UTC)
 * It is confusing because this AfD has been opened after the latest attempted article about the political official had been replaced by a redirect to the article on the writer; I don't think anyone is suggesting that the article on the writer should be deleted. This should have been opened at WP:RFD rather than WP:AFD. AllyD (talk) 09:50, 3 March 2021 (UTC)
 * I see now. Since the re-direct has been removed, I would recommend a speedy delete to the article as well. Tayi Arajakate  Talk 11:18, 4 March 2021 (UTC)


 * Speedy delete: Speedy delete. Its a clear case of Gaming the system Kichu🐘 Discuss 13:01, 3 March 2021 (UTC)
 * Comment - I have removed the redirect to the writer's page as it was creating confusion. I accidentally redirected the page to the article on the writer before proposing for deletion. Also, I have removed the AfD tag from the page on the writer. Malayala Sahityam (talk) 17:53, 3 March 2021 (UTC)
 * Delete: An article on a political party official. The rejected draft is more detailed about the subject's unsuccessful electoral candidacies and about some trivial coverage but I see no reason to overturn the deletion consensus from the AfD a year ago. AllyD (talk) 09:48, 7 March 2021 (UTC)
