N. P. Rajendran

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

Contested PROD, where article creator noted on my talk page that he is a notable person in India. Article has not really shown how the subject fulfills WP:GNG. Subject appears to be of regional importance at best as the organisation he is chairman of apears to be a regional body in India. The only source provided is a primary one from the newspaper that the article subject is / was deputy editor of. I am sure this individual has done good work in their field, it is just that this field appears to be local and there is little wider reporting of his activities. At best I would suggest a redirect to Kerala Press Academy but there appears little other than a name that could be added to that article. Fenix down (talk) 17:00, 20 January 2013 (UTC)


 * N. P. Rajendran is a notable person in India. Kerala press academy is not a press agency where as it is government organization. Agreed he is the editor of the news agency from which one of the reference added. But also note the citation is news article form a reputed daily newspaper circulated. One more reference is there which is secondary source of reference. --atnair (talk) 17:09, 20 January 2013 (UTC)
 * Comment. One secondary source is not enough to satisfy WP:GNG. Fenix down (talk) 17:18, 20 January 2013 (UTC)
 * I hardly think that a state-wide position in a state with a population of 33 million can be decribed as "local". Phil Bridger (talk) 12:13, 21 January 2013 (UTC)
 * Comment. That's 2.7% of the total population of the country, I would count that as local in the grand scheme of things. I think you're going to have to go some way to show that someone who is head of a body that is seems to be a quango type organisation that represents less than 3% of the country's population passes GNG without a lot more sourcing.

 * If you think 33million is very less will you nominate to delete the page of Brian Lacy who is the administrator of Cocos Island which has a population of mere 550 people.--atnair (talk) 01:45, 22 January 2013 (UTC)

 * Comment - the argument seems to be suggested above that because the kerala press academy is a sort of school for journalists that was set up as a joint venture, one of whose partners is the keralan government that it is automatically notable and someone in an important position then they are notable too. I think this analysis is wrong on a number of counts - even a state school is not automatically notable whatever state it is in, reference to substantial independent sources is required - and in addition, notability is not inherited so if the kpc can be shown to be notable, notability needs to be separately established for this subject WP:NOTINHERITED.

 * Strong Keep: N.P. Rajendran is an award-winning editor of Mathrubhumiand a Malayalam-language journalist. The citations in the article sufficiently establish his notability for winning awards.Crtew (talk) 15:28, 11 February 2013 (UTC)
 * Comment: The AfD debate should be relisted under news as he is a journalist and editor.Crtew (talk) 15:28, 11 February 2013 (UTC)


 * Improved references. atnair (talk) 01:37, 13 February 2013 (UTC)
 * Keep. Meets notability requirements for creative professionals. An award-winning major journalist. The only reason the subject is up for an AfD if because he is not well-known in the Western world (but that's not a valid reason to delete the article).--SouthernNights (talk) 12:33, 17 February 2013 (UTC)
