Ref 1, 3, 4 are interviews and 2 is a listing. There are many more sources like 1, 3, 4 but looks like they the same interview published by various outlets. Looks like WP:1E. ‐‐1997kB (talk) 12:33, 27 May 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Vijoo Krishnan is a notable politician in India. I think it shouldn't be deleted. Valid references are provided to this article. Shagil Kannur (talk) 12:50, 27 May 2018 (UTC)[reply]

• Keep The article, as is stood at the time of nomination, was poor and deserved the nomination. There are a number of references providing a history of Krishnan's activities in the Indian media. His activities prior to the long march did not gain as much media attention as the long march, but they are reported in reliable sources. Information about his student union activities are scarce on the web and may be stuck in a library well out of my reach. The fact that he motivated up to 50K farmers to march for 3 days in a protest speaks for his notability in India, he is the youngest member of the central committee of the Communist Party of India (Marxist) and the joint secretary of the All India Kisan Sabha the largest farmers' organisation in the country. He is about to embark on an ambitious political campaign to relieve the plight of farmers in India, and if his plan comes together it will receive international media coverage. I have improved the article with some material but there is so much more available. I am not from India and do not have enough of an understanding of Indian politics to make worthy additions. Hopefully the creator of the article @Shagil Kannur: might be able to help out. While notability is borderline, I have added 7 new references and another editor has added an infobox with a photo. WP:People notable for only one event no longer applies. 8==8 Boneso (talk) 04:49, 30 May 2018 (UTC)[reply]

  I will try to improve this article as much as I can. Thanks to Mr. 8==8 Boneso for your contributions to this article. Shagil Kannur (talk) 08:11, 31 May 2018 (UTC)[reply]

  Hmm....I'm afraid that nobody in our editorial community has the powers to fore-see the future.~ Winged Blades^Godric 15:06, 14 June 2018 (UTC)[reply]

LOL Winged Blades of Godric, I don't think anyone in the world has that ability. I agree that its a poor point to partly support my argument & get it across the line. WP:CRYSTAL is the reason I left the comment here & did not add any predictions in the article. I still think WP:1E does not apply, he gets just enough coverage for his activities. I do concede that he is not notable enough to attract arguments to this discussion having been re-listed twice for 3 votes ;). I'm unsure why WP:POLITICIAN was introduced into the argument by Shagil_Kannur. Krishnan clearly isn't a politician. 8==8 Boneso (talk) 23:48, 14 June 2018 (UTC)[reply]

• I suggest to closs this discussion and remove the deletion notice on this article.Shagil Kannur (talk) 05:52, 3 June 2018 (UTC)[reply]

  @Shagil Kannur: perhaps you could take a look at WP:BLP, WP:NOTABILITY & WP:1E. Then point out why you think Krishnan is notable based on the policy and rules of Wikipedia. A good "keep" argument will help the article to remain on Wikipedia. The comments you have made so far in this discussion do not refer to any policy or rules and will not be considered by the closing admin. 8==8 Boneso (talk) 07:20, 3 June 2018 (UTC)[reply]
