Consists almost entirely of original research and written in a very positive tone, not in a neutral point of view. Also possible lack of notability as per GNG, Google searches with "-wikipedia" do not show anything except lists of the candidates/winners of the election which he contested. jfd34 ( talk ) 15:15, 20 April 2012 (UTC)


 * Delete Almost appears to be promotional as well as having an incorrect tone.--  Gourami Watcher   (Gulp) 15:10, 20 April 2012 (UTC)

 * Keep as rewritten. I found a reliable source that he was indeed a member of the Madras Assembly, which by WP:N is unquestionably notable, & rewrote accordingly. The nom seems to have found that source also, but says above he decided to ignore it. (The article had been originally nominated for speedy A7 despite that ). The material in the article when nominated here was grossly unsatisfactory; as correctly noted above the tone was wrong, suggesting probably copyvio. It certainly needed attention.

 * Keep, inherently notable and verified per DGG's work, I've added another, largely redundant source. --joe deckertalk to me 05:39, 23 April 2012 (UTC)
