contested prod. while there are 2 claims of notability here ("completed Kailas circumulation on foot" and "Kerala sahithya akadami award") the notability of these is not clear. The award lacks a wikipedia page and I'm having difficulty finding any information on the first item. RadioFan (talk) 11:53, 4 August 2009 (UTC)

 * Comment He did win the Sahitya Akademi award for travelogue in 2005 for Kerala, but I'm dubious if that's notable enough for an article here. Priyanath talk 15:13, 4 August 2009 (UTC)
 * Keep The award issuing body - Kerala Sahitya Academy was incorrectly redlinked, I've fixed that. The award itself is a major literary award for Malayalam literature, and should qualify. In addition to this profile and interview, there's also a book review and another trivial note about the book launch. I'm sure other sources must exist in Malayalam and someone from the Kerala Wikiproject should be able to expand the article. - SpacemanSpiff Calvin&#8225;Hobbes 16:45, 4 August 2009 (UTC)
 * Comment Please add these references to the article if they may be used to demonstrate this author's notability. It's still completely unsourced.--RadioFan (talk) 17:20, 4 August 2009 (UTC)
 * Done. And cleaned out the irrelevant and unreferencable part of the article. Do you want to close the nomination? - SpacemanSpiff Calvin&#8225;Hobbes 20:18, 4 August 2009 (UTC)


 * Keep, then. Priyanath talk 17:04, 4 August 2009 (UTC)
