Keep - nom has not looked into this carefully enough. This is one of the most significant / longest established record repositories in India, of importance equal to or greater than a county record office in the UK or a state record office in the US. The sources already given appear adequate, although doubtless they could be approved improved. This article was nominated for deletion less than an hour after it first appeared...

Keep Being a Records Office, the article subject is mentioned in a number of books, including The Cambridge History of the British Empire.--SamHolt6 (talk) 06:03, 27 November 2017 (UTC)[reply]

• Keep. Seems to be (or rather information/volumes held within) widely referenced, including in books 100(+) years old - e.g. [1] [2]. The Tamil Nadu Archives garners quite a few hits as well.Icewhiz (talk) 07:28, 27 November 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Speedy Keep and Close . Refs are solid as a rock. No point keeping this open. Szzuk (talk) 20:02, 27 November 2017 (UTC)[reply]
