The result was delete. Lack of independent secondary sources leads to a failure to meet the notability guidelines. Personal statements of how well-known he is unfortunately do not warrant an encylopedia article - significant independent coverage would. ~ mazca ^talk 13:37, 3 July 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Delete This article is a stub which has experienced no additions but vandalism. This insignificant and puny article is not notable and is fitting of criteria for deletion. 155blue (talk) 23:19, 17 June 2013 (UTC)[reply]

P. C. Thomas may not be as well known as Oommen Chandy, K. Karunakaran, Mohanlal, or Mammootty in Kerala, but I can guarantee all engineering and medical students from Kerala in last 20+ years (and their family) will be knowing well about P. C.

Delete, clearly this guy runs a successful business and is known to a segment of society, but that doesn't mean that he deserves a Wikipedia article. I see no independent, reliable secondary sources that actually analyze him. Abductive (reasoning) 06:30, 29 June 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Delete due to being promotional. This article on a coaching expert amounts to an advertisement. The reference is promtion, and could not be considered independent third party coverage. --SmokeyJoe (talk) 12:23, 30 June 2013 (UTC)[reply]
