particularly potentially doubtful encyclopic relevance, since mainly sourced by "bradleystokexxx.co.uk", but also the wiki may be interpreted as 'profiling', for instance the first section (lead revision as of 15:37, 31 August 2017):

[quotation start:] "Councillor Tom Aditya (born 14th April) is a British community campaigner and management consultant, currently serving as the Deputy Mayor of Bradley Stoke, Bristol and the Vice-Chairman of the Avon and Somerset Police Panel, which covers Bristol City, South Gloucestershire, Bath and North East Somerset, North Somerset, Taunton Deane, West Somerset, South Somerset, Sedgemoor and Mendips districts. He is the first person of Asian origin to be elected in South Gloucestershire County and the first South Indian elected on Conservative party ticket in the UK. He is also a trustee of Bristol Multi Faith Forum , which builds fruitful and constructive relationships amongst faith communities. Tom Aditya is also a columnist and speaker as well as an exponent in political science, academics and technology." [quotation end.]

Since I was just wikignoming and re-categorizing Kerala-related wikis, started Talk:Tom Aditya on 31 August 2017; and its main contributor @Amaljyothi1: stated, that [quotation start] "...Since he is considered as one of the Ambassadors of Kerala in the UK, it is proper for him to be included in the People from Kerala category. Moreover, since he is working amongst the various faith communities in the UK, it is right to classify him as an Indian Christian too rather than just the 'Saint Thomas Christian' tag... [quotation end.] Therefore I started this DR to verify the wiki's notability and relevance by more experienced Wikipedians than me (my first and hopefully last DR).

User_talk: Derek R Bullamore and User_talk: CAPTAIN RAJU: I am not a professional wikipeadia writer. I am only learning it. If there are any mistakes, please correct me. I wrote the article ===Tom Aditya=== based on the facts available online. Tom Aditya has been well known in the Indian community in the UK, especially amongst the British South Indians. There had been articles by prominent Indian national newspapers in Malayalam language about this person. He received significant press coverage from independent sources and is a notable person. Hence request to please help to edit the article. Thank you User_talk: Amaljyothi1

• Delete. Being well-known in a particular ethnic community is not a Wikipedia inclusion criterion per se — it's not clearly quantifiable how well-known somebody is or isn't in most cases, but rather "well-known" is a vague claim that's open to abuse and hype-inflation. So we judge notability not on the basis of the general claim to being well-known, but on the basis of specific things that the person has done, specific roles that they've held, specific analysis of the specific sources brought to bear, and on and so forth. And on that basis, what's here isn't adequate at all: the article is entirely too dependent on primary sources and routine local coverage in a local WordPress blog, with not even close to enough genuine reliable source coverage shown at all. And nothing claimed in the article is an automatic notability freebie that would exempt him from having to show more reliable source coverage than this, either.

Bearcat (talk), I understand your opinion. However, let me clarify few things which you mentioned. Yes, I have quoted a local newspaper for few of the local matters, but have also quoted from Malayala Manorama (www.manoramaonline.com) which has circulation of more than 2.5 million printed circulation and is one of the largest newspapers in India and www.deepika.com, a newspaper established in the 1887. They are not primary sources but independent third party sources which are many years old. As I mentioned earlier, since I am not a professional wikipeadia writer, there can be mistakes. Hence please correct me. I wrote the article ===Tom Aditya=== based on the facts available online. Hence request to please help to edit the article.
