Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Santhosh George Kulangara

:The following discussion is an archived debate of the proposed deletion of the article below. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made on the appropriate discussion page (such as the article's talk page or in a deletion review). No further edits should be made to this page.

The result was no consensus. Two relists is enough that we have to accept that there is no consensus here. However, I concur with the point made by several editors--since the article will be kept in mainspace, it needs to be made non-promotional, and I encouarge all editors here to do so. If there are problems with people re-adding the promotional content, let me know and I'll see what other admin tools are necessary. Finally, the no consensus result means that the article may be renominated for deletion, but it would be best to wait for at least 3-6 months to do so (perhaps future events will make clear whether or not this person has any lasting notability).

Obviously promotional; requires no arguments. I have taken the liberty to revert the page back to the status prior to the speedy nomination to let the AfD participants know what this originally was. If the AfD be defeated we could very well revert it back to where WilyD left it. Thanks. Austria156 (talk) 22:34, 1 September 2012 (UTC)

::*Comment. Well, I have taken the liberty to revert it back. If an editor has made an effort to clean up the article that helps AfD participants better analyze the subject under the deletion policy, which is mostly concerned with whether a subject is suitable for inclusion, and not whether the article is in an optimal state — Frankie (talk) 20:16, 3 September 2012 (UTC)

::: :) Sorry WilyD, and thank you Frankie. At the point when the article came to my attention, it looked as if the author was too enthusiastic in promoting the subject that it (the major contributor) could be none other than Santhosh George Kulangara himself. I went for speedy because it was obvious. When speedy was declined I wanted the AfD participants to see how bad and obvious it was (Not all the participants might study the edit history). So the pains of all the liberties :) Thank you. Austria156 (talk) 00:21, 4 September 2012 (UTC)

Weak Keep: IMHO the subject some how meets WP:GNG and WP:RS. However the article is too much promotional. It needs to be re-written and it should be shortened. -- Bharathiya (talk) 02:40, 14 September 2012 (UTC)

Comment: The problem of the article is that it shows too much importance only to the paid space travel which is NOT an extraordinary achievement by itself. Otherwise the person seems to be notable as he is the one man presenter and director of Sancharam (TV series) which is indeed a notable one. The person also passes Google test. IMHO the space travel thing should be shortened to about two to three lines and other advertising stuff has to be removed and trimmed as much as possible.Otherwise the subject can be kept. --Bharathiya (talk) 02:48, 14 September 2012 (UTC)

  • Delete. He has never gone into space, and until such time as he might, this is nothing more than a case of WP:CRYSTAL. It has no business existing as an article. Qworty (talk) 20:27, 15 September 2012 (UTC)
