Manickam Muthar[edit]

(Find sources: Google (books · news · scholar · free images · WP refs) · FENS · JSTOR · TWL)

A PROD tag was removed without explanation or addressing the cited need for reliable sources. Essentially this public school official does not meet the general notability guideline and there are no assertions of notability. There are no reliable sources and none were found on a search (Google Books/News returned zero hits for the full name). Also, Wikipedia is not a memorial.

Delete, nothing suitable for Wikipedia and the article reads like a personal biography rather than an encyclopedia article. Unfortunately, I believe any reliable and useful sources may not be English as my Google US and Google India search provided absolutely nothing. I briefly searched with Google Sri Lanka but found that there isn't a Sri Lankan version of Google News. We should also consider that any sources from his time probably haven't been scanned or transferred to the Internet (the Internet isn't as advanced for the Middle East and the India-Sri Lanka area).

Delete. Article does not indicate notability and no sources found which might justify an article. --Michig (talk) 10:44, 23 September 2012 (UTC)[reply]
