• Keep We already have source in The Hindu, but I think I found more sources.Just look on this other Wikipedia for more sources. One of the sources is no longer in existence, but to me this seems clear that many other sources exist considering he is a leader of a mainstream party in India. I might be willing to change my vote if this isn't enough though. Scorpions13256 (talk) 17:23, 4 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]
  • Comment The only English RS present on the mlwiki is already present in enwiki. Unless somebody is going to translate the other sources we cannot use them here. Vikram Vincent 10:06, 9 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Sorry it took me a long time to get back to you. I'm a bit confused by your comment. The fact that the sources are not in English does not mean that they do not help determine notability. Scorpions13256 (talk) 23:01, 10 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]

• Delete per nom for lack of notability. Vikram Vincent 10:06, 9 March 2021 (UTC) CHanging !vote to Keep per Soman and Goldsztajn. Vikram Vincent 16:53, 15 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]
• Keep - considering that this person died in 1995, sourcing is a bit difficult but there is material to indicate notability: "C.Unniraja , veteran communist leader"^[1], "C . Unniraja converged on the scene . Among them Unniraja later emerged as a prominent leader of the Communist Party of India ( CPI )"^[2], "As early as in March , the Government of India directed the provincial government to segregate the " unmarked " party members from important Communists . The prominent Communists from Malabar segregated in Vellurcentral jail , were K . Damodaran , K . P . R . Gopalan , K . P . Gopalan , Sadhu P . Ahamad Kutty , A . K . Gopalan , C . Unniraja..."^[3], his life is covered in detail in works like this https://www.indulekha.com/charitram-rachicha-charitrasakshi-biography-c-unniraja --Soman (talk) 22:45, 10 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]

• Keep prominent historical CP member from Kerala. Per sources mentioned by Soman and, FWIW, the CIA considered him noteworthy, too; three mentions in the agency's 1962 survey of the Indian left, including as a factional leader in Kerala.--Goldsztajn (talk) 03:19, 12 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]
  • Goldsztajn if the CIA is looking at you then you definitely are noteworthy :D Vikram Vincent 04:27, 16 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]
