Keep: The elephant is highly notable and has more than enough coverage from reliable sources and I would strongly discourage anyone from !voting delete before we've had anyone here who speaks malayalam other than me 06:01, 15 January 2021 (UTC) Kichu🐘 ^Discuss 16:47, 15 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]

@Kashmorwiki: As the article creator you are usually expected to vote keep. –Cupper52^Discuss! 13:24, 15 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Keep: The subject is a notable figure in Kerala and a major participant in Thrissur Pooram. Also the elephant has recieved broad coverage from multiple reliable sources that can pass the WP:GNG. BestwishesPoppified ^talk 05:57, 15 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Comment: I doubt that proper steps are not followed here while nominating an article for deletion. Between this edit [1] and this edit [2], the nominator only took 2 minutes for nominating. The user hasnt done proper WP:Before before doing the nomination. Kichu🐘 ^Discuss 16:47, 15 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]

It's entirely possible that the nominator did a BEFORE search before creating this AfD. Edits are quite close together but that, in itself, isn't evidence that suggests that one wasn't done. Spiderone 15:25, 15 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]

The nominator has also nominated another stub article for deletion where he took only 1 minute. He also blindly says Elephants don’t meet notability guidelines here. Wikipedias notability criteria clearly says a topic is notable to have its own standalone article if it has enough coverage from multiple sources. Here the elephant is covered in multiple independent sources. I request the nominator to clarify what he meant by elephants not notable here. Kichu🐘 ^Discuss 16:47, 15 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Keep - References on the page show WP:GNG is met. Category:Elephants and its 17 sub-categories would suggest that elephants can be notable. --John B123 (talk) 17:35, 15 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Keep - has been the subject of significant coverage in multiple reliable sources, passing WP:GNG Spiderone 18:52, 15 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Keep, evidence of notability has been provided. Suggest some clean-up for tone but article is fine otherwise. StarM 14:27, 21 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]
