Delete for lack of reliable sources about the subject on which to base an article. The sources already listed in the article quote Joseph, but they are not about him. —David Eppstein (talk) 22:41, 27 December 2010 (UTC)

Delete - I am unable to find significant coverage in reliable independent sources for this individual. I have examined the sources in the article; the two articles in The Hindu provide extensive quotation from Mr Joseph but do not have significant information about him. The other sources do not provide significant coverage or are not independent. My good faith searches have not uncovered other reliable sources. - DustFormsWords (talk) 04:55, 5 January 2011 (UTC)
