 * The following discussion is an archived debate of the proposed deletion of the article below. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made on the appropriate discussion page (such as the article's talk page or in a deletion review).  No further edits should be made to this page.  

The result was delete, simply because noone can find any sources even asserting this person exists. I looked myself and I can't seem to find anything that isn't WP mirrors. No prejudice against recreation if sources eventually appear. --- Deville (Talk) 03:48, 11 September 2006 (UTC)

Kumaranalloor Mani
Fails WP:BIO and WP:V --Nonpareility 15:50, 30 August 2006 (UTC)
 * Delete. Fails WP:BIO and generates <100 hits on Google. -- Nish kid 64 16:01, 30 August 2006 (UTC)
 * Weak keep. Practicer/performer of ancient, dying art in India; seems to be part of developing info on Mayilattam. Keep for more time for info.  Perhaps someone from Portal:India could help... - CobaltBlueTony 16:05, 30 August 2006 (UTC)

 * Keep - He is one of the few masters of Mayilattam Bakaman Bakatalk 19:33, 31 August 2006 (UTC)
 * Keep - Well known and notable among performers of traditional arts in South India _Doctor Bruno_ _Talk_ /E Mail 13:03, 1 September 2006 (UTC)
 * Delete without prejudice of recreation if his work can be shown to be verifiably important or notable. As is, lack of reliable sources to demonstrate verifiability violates Wikipedia policy. -AED 01:24, 2 September 2006 (UTC)
 * Merge and delete into Mayilattom. The article is unverified and likely to remain a stub.-- thunderboltza.k.a.D e epu Joseph 12:45, 2 September 2006 (UTC)
 * The edit history of merged material needs to be retained for attribution purposes. Therefore, merge and delete is not a valid combination. - Mgm|(talk) 07:47, 5 September 2006 (UTC)
 * Delete then. The article contains no more information than that already provided in Mayilattam. Despite living in this part of the world, it is very hard to verify the notability of a person involved in this nearly obsolete art form.-- thunderboltz(Deepu) 07:35, 6 September 2006 (UTC)
 * Comment. I am abstaining but a query to those who suggested keep. Are you guys familiar with this person, as google does not seem to give a single hit that is not a copy of the wikipedia article ? Tintin (talk) 06:35, 4 September 2006 (UTC)
 * Request to admin Can we keep this open for a couple more days. I'll try to ask around about this person.Tintin (talk) 06:17, 5 September 2006 (UTC)

 * Keep provide sources, otherwise delete. --MaNeMeBasat 14:56, 10 September 2006 (UTC)
 * Delete if the person is "famous", there should have been no trouble in finding references by now. In any case, there is no problim to recreate the article when the verifiability concern addressed. Mukadderat 18:37, 10 September 2006 (UTC)
