 Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus. Relisting comment: Relisting per discussion at Deletion review/Log/2016 May 22, which overturned a speedy deletion.  Sandstein  16:04, 24 May 2016 (UTC)
 * Pinging who seems to have deleted the article per WP:A7 and WP:G11. I'm finding it difficult to see the applicability of these criteria. The promotional content was removed from the article a few days ago, and what was left still made a credible claim of notability. Uanfala (talk) 19:36, 21 May 2016 (UTC)

 * Tentative delete Quoting what I said at DRV: The one on-line reference in the article is to a blog, and the piece isn't even signed (submitted by admin3). My searching didn't find anything better, even on the Times of India website. But, I would also expect that there might be material in languages other than English, and even English sources might use a different spelling of the name.  -- RoySmith (talk) 17:55, 24 May 2016 (UTC)
 * Keep I've added four reliable sources. One should search in Google Scholar and Google Books for references of old repositories. This news report, for example, covers the magazine's antecedents quite significantly. Xender Lourdes (talk) 20:08, 24 May 2016 (UTC)

 * Keep - After looking at the recently added citations to the current version of this page as well as this article's counterpart on Malayalam Wikipedia (plus searching a bit through Google Books), I'm inclined to agree that the publication is notable. It's just a matter citing things properly being difficult given the language barriers. The page probably needs a bunch of improvements, not deletion.
