Karimbil Kunhi Komen

 * – ( View AfD View log )

Biographical article with no indications of notability. Article has been recreated on several occasions. Speedy deletion templates removed by IP editors. Assuming good faith that this is not a case of IP sockpuppetry, I'm bringing the article to AFD. WikiDan61 ChatMe!ReadMe!! 11:14, 16 May 2011 (UTC)
 * Delete as failing WP:GNG. Filing a lawsuit alone doesn't pass the bar.  If it has been recreated more than twice (I don't have access to that info) then salting might be a good idea.  Dennis Brown (talk) 12:28, 16 May 2011 (UTC)
 * add: karimbil kunhi komen is a well-known man. we have always wondered why he didn't figure in the list of famous people in nileshwar. retain it: it should never be deleted. karimbil kunhi komen was a legend of his times. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 111.92.75.192 (talk • contribs)
 * Comment It is quite clear that a certain subset of Wikipedians (possibly a subset as small as one) feels that this gentleman merits a Wikipedia article. However, no evidence has been produced to support this assertion.  No references to anything other than the fact that he filed a lawsuit.  No mentions in any media (books, magazines, etc.).

 * add: One !vote per user, please karimbil kunhi komen passed away in 1988. the media wasn't active then the way it is now. he has been quoted in numerous malayalam newspapers. the entries of which would be difficult to get now. that too online.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 111.92.75.192 (talk) 14:49, 16 May 2011 (UTC)
 * Comment If he has been quoted in numerous Malayam newspapers, and you know this to be true, perhaps you could put your hands on one of those Malayam newspapers and provide a reference. WikiDan61 ChatMe!ReadMe!! 15:05, 16 May 2011 (UTC)


 * retain: One !vote per user, please he was the first man from kerala to challenge the mighty land reforms act. we have learned it in college. his name we know like that. when you search his name in google, you see all his lawsuits. i agree with the point raised above.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 111.92.75.192 (talk) 14:54, 16 May 2011 (UTC)
 * AFD is a discussion of the policies, not a vote. Just making sure you realize that :) —Disavian (talk/contribs) 15:00, 16 May 2011 (UTC)
 * Comment When I search his name in Google, I come up with four hits: the Wikipedia page currently under discussion, an article on Konnakkad written by the same author, noting this person as one of the notable people from Konnakkad, and two user and/or project pages tracking deletion issues. That's not to say a search in Malayalam might not turn up other results.  Unfortunately, I don't speak Malayalam.  WikiDan61 ChatMe!ReadMe!! 15:05, 16 May 2011 (UTC)

Add : 1 !vote only Dennis Brown (talk) Karimbil Kunhi Komen was a legend of his times. Almost everyone in Kannur and Kasargod districts of Kerala know him well. He passed away more than 20 years back. It's only through such channels of expressions we could connect him and his life to the younger generation. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 111.93.99.98 (talk) 07:15, 17 May 2011 (UTC)
 * You seem to be implying that the Wikipedia page should be kept because it is the only way current generations will know about this man. That's not the way Wikipedia works.  If there is not any other source material by which the current generation can know about this man, than there is no reliable source on which to base this article, so the article can't be allowed to remain.

ADD: Again, 1 !vote per user, please. it is a a shame that there is a discussion to prove the greatness of karimbil kunhi komen. he passed away in 1980s. the media wasn't as flourishing as it is now. i am from mangalore, and i share no relation with komen gurrukal. but my father had always told me that in life he should be your role model. i was lucky enough to visit the ancestral karimbil house. i just want to emulate him in life.
 * Delete - as it stands now, does not meet our notability criteria. There is a possibility that the lawsuit and the subject have received coverage in RS, but unless those are added, this fails WP:N--Sodabottle (talk) 04:13, 18 May 2011 (UTC)
 * Comment A different IP address doesn't hide the fact that this IP use is the same editor who created this article, based on the same random characters that keep getting introduced to pages every time he edits them. WikiDan61 ChatMe!ReadMe!! 14:45, 22 May 2011 (UTC)
