Lacks sufficient sources to prove the subject's notability per WP:BIO. Given reference is merely a passing mention. Photographs of awards were taken by the creator with an admitted WP:COI, no independent indication of notability. Drm310 (talk) 04:56, 7 April 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Delete. Fails WP:Author and there is no evidence of passing WP:Bio. True, the subject has won a couple of awards, but all of them appear to be minor awards. Salih (talk) 18:15, 7 April 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Acatgain, you haven't provided the proof for the notability of the award. If the said award is notable, could you, at least, name few notable people who have previously won this award? Salih (talk) 17:03, 15 April 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Don't you consider a Indian State Government or an State government award notable. You seems to be challenging the very fine fabric of The Republic of India.

If you are not competent enough to understand the seriousness kindly rope in few experts from this field.

It seems the award you've mentioned is a minor one and was given away only once, i.e., in the year 2007 the year in which Adiyeri Gangadharan won it. You may also note that not all awards given by state/central governments are notable. I am only challenging the notability of the subject of the article. It's your imagination that I am challenging the very fine fabric of The Republic of India! Salih (talk) 09:52, 16 April 2014 (UTC)[reply]
