Other than winning a non notable award given by a private organisation, the person is not notable for any events. Could not find any more reliable sources to prove his notability. The subject does not have enough coverage, hence fails to establish notability criteria. Could not also find any reliable sources which are independent of the article subject covering in depth about the subject Kashmorwiki (talk) 07:09, 10 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]

• Comment: He's listed as the "news editor in chief" of an 87-year old paper with 500,000 circulation. Does anyone know whether or not that's the top editorial position at the paper? If it is, he's highly likely to be notable and I would strongly discourage anyone from !voting delete before we've had someone who speaks Malayalam do a thorough search for sources. If he's just the head of the news section of the paper, that's more borderline, but still perfectly plausible that sources in Malayalam exist. ((u|Sdkb)) ^talk 07:33, 10 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]

@Sdkb: Did some looking around; on their about page, they don't list their current chief editors, only former ones, so it's unclear whether Varadoor holds this position. On Chandrika (newspaper), the "editor" is listed as C.P. Saidalavi, though I can't find a reliable reference for that. Both Saidalavi and Varadoor seem equally possible from what I can find.

• Comment According to ^[1], this paper is a propaganda paper of a political party. The website doesn't list this individual as an editor. – NirvanaToday^t@lk 15:17, 17 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]
