• Delete: Does not pass WP:NPOL and lacks significant coverage to meet WP:GNG. Ts12rAc^{talk to me} 09:34, 23 February 2022 (UTC)[reply]
• Delete Lacks notability as per the norms, fails GNG. Timetraveller80 (talk) 08:49, 25 February 2022 (UTC)[reply]
• Delete, without prejudice against recreation in the future if somebody can do significantly better. Thrissur is certainly a large and significant enough city that a mayor would be eligible to keep a well-sourced article, but no size of city ever confers an "inherent" notability freebie on a mayor who's sourced exclusively to a single 174-word blurb announcing his appointment as mayor but failing to provide any ongoing career coverage of his work in the mayor's chair.

• For those who like news reports (which are treated on Wikipedia as if they are secondary sources) there seem to be many found by Google News, but quite a lot of them are about his own sense of self-importance, such as this and this, so it's difficult to summarise them without violating WP:BLP by making the subject a laughing stock.
