This is a collection of discussions on the deletion of articles related to Kerala. It is one of many deletion lists coordinated by WikiProject Deletion sorting. Anyone can help maintain the list on this page.

Adding a new AfD discussion

Adding an AfD to this page does not add it to the main page at WP:AFD. Similarly, removing an AfD from this page does not remove it from the main page at WP:AFD. If you want to nominate an article for deletion, go through the process on that page before adding it to this page. To add a discussion to this page, follow these steps:

1. Edit this page and add {{Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/PageName}} to the top of the list. Replace "PageName" with the relevant article name, i.e. the one on the existing AFD discussion. Also, indicate the title of the article in the edit summary as it is particularly helpful to add a link to the article in the edit summary. When you save the page, the discussion will automatically appear.
2. You should also tag the AfD by adding {{subst:delsort|Kerala|~~~~}} to it, which will inform editors that it has been listed here. You may place this tag above or below the nomination statement or at the end of the discussion thread.

There are a few scripts and tools that can make this easier.

Removing a closed AfD discussion

Closed AfD discussions are automatically removed by a bot.

Other types of discussions

You can also add and remove other discussions (prod, CfD, TfD etc.) related to Kerala. For the other XfD's, the process is the same as AfD (except {{Wikipedia:Miscellany for deletion/PageName}} is used for MFD and {{transclude xfd}} for the rest). For PRODs, adding a link with {{prodded}} will suffice.

Further information

For further information see Wikipedia's deletion policy and WP:AfD for general information about Articles for Deletion, including a list of article deletions sorted by day of nomination.

This list is also part of the larger list of deletion debates related to India.

Disputed draftify. Movie not presently notable. Coverage consists of press releases, WP:CHURNALISM press releases, and release date coverage. microbiologyMarcus ^{[petri dish·growths]} 13:41, 14 June 2024 (UTC) Withdrawn. microbiologyMarcus ^{[petri dish·growths]} 12:53, 15 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

• Delete - There is nothing in this article that addresses either general notability or film notability. This article does not speak for itself, and there is no mention of significant coverage. Robert McClenon (talk) 15:50, 14 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

  Yes there is and plenty of coverage exists....Not sure why we're here. The page was improved but nominators (and in my view, Delete !voters too) should check existing sources before voting. Inviting you to kindly reconsider your !vote. Best, -My, oh my! (Mushy Yank) 20:58, 14 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

• Keep: Reviews in The Week, and The Hindu would be enough to keep this. And there's more coverage (including OTHER REVIEWS in South First, Tribune, Onmanorama, The News Minute, Times Now)... So non-notable, how, why? This meets GNG and NFILM. A redirect to List of Malayalam films of 2024 should have been considered anyway before nomination as ATD. So, I am very sorry but I think this may have been a bit hasty, and am inviting the nominator to kindly withdraw. The person who moved this to Main was right. Thanks. -My, oh my! (Mushy Yank) 20:55, 14 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]
• Delete: I also couldn't find sig/in-depth coverage, aside from some churnalism or press releases based coverage, so this clearly fails GNG. Saqib (talk) 21:27, 14 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]
  • Courtesy @2pou: who draftified this. — Saqib (talk) 21:42, 14 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

  I also couldn't find sig/in-depth coverage: thank you for your efforts, but just read the page then, and open the links of the 9 reviews (and there are probably more). :D))) -My, oh my! (Mushy Yank) 21:59, 14 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

  Mushy Yank, I recall you advising me previously that I don't need to reply to every comment. However, you also engage in doing so. I've made my point, and I don't feel the need to argue with anyone further. — Saqib (talk) 22:20, 14 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

  Wasn't me. I don't remember having advised you not to do so (I noted it is a routine of yours, and even said (twice, maybe) I personally didn't mind). But your !vote seems so ....pardon me, bizarre and unexplainable to me, that I thought I would give you a chance to amend it. Never mind. You didn't find any sig/in-depth coverage when NINE reviews, including some in major Indian newspapers, have been presented? Sure. OK. I must assume good faith then... -My, oh my! (Mushy Yank) 22:36, 14 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

  Mushy Yank, In short. No, I don't see any coverage here that can help establish GNG. — Saqib (talk) 22:41, 14 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

This article was created in draft and speedy-deleted per WP:G11 on June 8. It was then recreated (somewhat less promotional) and PRODded. The PROD was removed by an IP, who also added some unsourced material. I (improperly because I had no right to reinstate the PROD) reverted the IP because of the unsourced material. Another administrator properly removed the PROD. The article still exists at Draft:Adeesh Babu, which is where I believe it should be until it's cleaned up and notability has been satisfied.

Delete: Nothing suggests this is a notable artist. They have done everyday things like go to school and have an art show. Typical of the sourcing here is "The New Indian Express" source[1] which does not provide significant coverage. It just simply names them as creating with their friends "an online art exhibition which features 13 works of 13 artists" and was hosted on blogspot. They are far from WP:ARTIST standards like "regarded as an important figure" or "known for originating a significant new concept" or "been represented within the permanent collections of several notable galleries or museums." Elspea756 (talk) 18:02, 9 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

• Delete: All I find are the Times of India link and primary sources, including his own website. None of this is notable and the lack of coverage indicates non-notability. The Times of India is also not a RS. Oaktree b (talk) 21:12, 9 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Delete I agree with Liz's original assessment of WP:G11 BrigadierG (talk) 21:44, 9 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

• Delete: Non-notable. Doesn't meet WP:GNG or WP:ARTIST. It's a possible WP:G11, I PROd this article a few days ago. 𝓡𝔂𝓭𝓮𝔁 09:27, 12 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

• Delete most definitely does not pass GNG. This is exactly the sort of BLP our policies are intended to prevent. It’s essentially a promotional profile for a party official based on passing mentions and his relationships with people who are actually notable in our terms. Mccapra (talk) 06:19, 5 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

  That sounds like a problem that could be solved through editing, rather than deletion. WhatamIdoing (talk) 04:34, 10 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

• It didn't seem like a promotional, with many relatives, it was reflected in the scholar's family, the person holding the posts of the largest legally functioning Islamic youth organization in India. and He is a member of the family circle of Prophet Muhammad in India(Sayyid ) Spworld2 (talk) 04:34, 10 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

• Keep - prominent IUML leader, which is clear from a quick google search. Take for example "Accompanied by prominent leaders such as KPCC president K Sudhakaran, Ramesh Chennithala, P K Kunhalikutty, and Panakkad Sayed Abbas Ali Shihab Thangal, Rahul Gandhi will formally submit his nomination papers to Wayanad District Collector Renu Raj at her office in Kalpetta." (India Today). Here is a news story on Wahhabi leaders condemning Abbas Ali Shihab Thangal. Here seen speaking at a conference (have a look at crowd size at 01:01). Clearly a notable public figure by any means. --Soman (talk) 21:50, 13 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

  Simply being a party leader does not guarantee notability according to WP:NPOL. There's not enough in-depth coverage to meet WP:GNG. Everything is mostly trivial mentions. C F A 💬 21:58, 13 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

  • • Mathrubhumi, Manorama, Madhyamam, and so forth. There's tons of google hits in news stories where he appears. --Soman (talk) 22:08, 13 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]
