 * Delete - local periodical. Bearian (talk) 17:32, 10 May 2016 (UTC)
 * Only "local" in the sense that it is distributed throughout a state with 33 million inhabitants. We certainly don't demand that any periodicals in the West can only have articles if they are less "local" than this, so why do you consider that that is a valid argument for deleting an article about a periodical in India? 86.17.222.157 (talk) 21:59, 11 May 2016 (UTC)

 Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.
 * Delete at best actually as I only found a few links, certainly nothing outstandingly better and the current article has nothing else with which to keep and improve. We can wait until someone who knows both English and Malayalam improves this anew. SwisterTwister   talk  05:54, 14 May 2016 (UTC)

 * Delete per SwisterTwister. The publication may be distributed "through" a state with 33 million inhabitants, but that doesn't indicate how many of those inhabitants it is circulated to. There is no indication of whether this publication is more like a newspaper or a magazine. The article's lead paragraph contains a seemingly self-contradictory statement, "This is considered as the official mouthpiece of Kerala Nadvathul Mujahideen even though the organisation highlights the monthly named Al-Manar as the official publication". The article also violates both MOS:OVERLINK and MOS:UNDERLINK within the space of four words, when it says that the publication includes such content as "Story of a khurafikkutti". --Metropolitan90 (talk) 02:01, 22 May 2016 (UTC)
