Weak delete :Mmm, a google search only seems to show of a British painter (1860-1921). It lacks decent sources and doesn't really assert his importance as a writer other than he had some publications in local newspapers. "Famous" is not a word I'd use and it is full of peacock words and POV. If more reliable sources could be found and the importance can be properly asserted then I'd support it, but by the looks of it seems a clear delete.

The peacock words and POV can be edited. This article has been written by me who has no experience of wikipedia and how to get references and from where. It will take time to collect the references. But none of the article is false. Solomon Joseph was famous for his social work among Malayalees in Bombay and his writings became controversial after his 1980 article on the connection between Mata Amritanandamayi and the thorium deposits in Kerala's soil. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Mthomasin (talk • contribs) 04:38, 15 January 2009 (UTC)

keep Well this is one reference that I could get hold of regarding Solomon Joseph... http://www.sunnynewsonline.com/aboutus.html Will have to search for more references. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Mthomasin (talk • contribs) 05:08, 15 January 2009 (UTC)
 * Comments  : Mthomasin, We need third party references regarding the notability and verifibility of this subject's notability.sunnynews is directly related to Solomon and cannot be treated as RS. If the subject is really notable, reliable and third party references should be easily accessible. Besides there is a strong COI with Solomon with the only contributor of the article. --  Tinu  Cherian  - 08:47, 15 January 2009 (UTC)

Comments Thanks Tinu...there are newspaper articles about Solomon Joseph's notability and verifiability in reputed main stream newspapers like the Times of India, Indian Express, Free Press journal etc. I will need some time to get some of these references and post them online. Thanks and regards...mathew--Mthomasin (talk) 17:13, 15 January 2009 (UTC)

Delete : Per WP:N --Tux the penguin (talk) 14:41, 18 January 2009 (UTC)
 * Delete since none of the sourced content in the article establishes notability. If Mthomasin wishes, it can be userified for few weeks, till appropriate sources are found that justify recreation. Abecedare (talk) 20:39, 22 January 2009 (UTC)
