Has a couple secondary sources, but doesn't seem notable as the sources are trivial in coverage. Ten Pound Hammer • ^{(What did I screw up now?)} 18:11, 12 February 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Keep. This person is a pretty famous Indian bureaucrat, and also an accomplished author. He has won the Kerala Sahitya Akademi award - the highest literary award given by the state of Kerala - for one of his works. This article might use a few more sources - but some of the sources provided (like The Hindu and The Indian Express articles) do have deep enough coverage of Swamy.

Keep Satisfies WP:POLITICIAN as he holds a major provincial-wide office. Here are some additional sources if you are not convinced: [1] [2].--The Devil's Advocate (talk) 06:05, 26 February 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Keep : Half a dozen articles about him in national newspapers does provide sufficient evidence for notability. --Anbu121 (talk me) 11:36, 6 March 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Keep: So many independent newspapers publishing about him. Worth keeping. -Animeshkulkarni (talk) 12:54, 6 March 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Keep. The article needs a cleanup not deletion. There are multiple articles discussing him in national dailies, such as [3], [4], [5], [6], [7], and [8]. Salih (talk) 15:41, 6 March 2012 (UTC)[reply]
