P. Vinod Bhattathiripad + Vinod Bhattathiripad (identical article)[edit]

This article was declined a speedy deletion because the admin believed that the subject was notable enough. However, a simple google search only yields 167 returns (62 of which belong to the site listed below), with very little information on the subject. The article contains no outbound or inbound wiki links. No references, or citations. The article claims that the subject, is the Chief Co-ordinator of http://www.namboothiri.com (the single external link within the article) - "Namboothiri Website" - "a forum for documenting Namboothiri traditions in web". The entire article is written in resume style:

"He has traveled to several countries abroad including Switzerland, Germany, France, England, Poland, Liechtenstein, China, Hong Kong, Singapore, Malaysia and so on{{weasel word}}, several times"
"He has completed M. Sc. (Operations Research & Computer Applications ) and M. Phil. (Computer Science) and has headed around 148 software projects{{which}}"
"He has visited (is visiting{{when}}) as a resource person in Cochin University of Science and Technology"
"With the experience of being the commentator for three Somayaagas {{what}}, he has appeared in related programmes in BBCWORLD and Discovery channels.{{which}}"

Like I mentioned before, none of this can be Verified, so all the content is propbably attributed to WP:OR and would therefore violate WP:BLP - a whole other problem in itself. Flewis^(talk) 12:20, 20 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Comment. As the admin who declined speedy deletion, I didn't decline it because I "believed that the subject was notable enough". I declined it because the rationale for speedy deletion was that it was an article that didn't assert notability. But the article does assert notability: "one of the first computer engineers in India to practice cyber crime investigation". Whether the person is in fact notable is another matter altogether, which can be discussed here. Good Ol’factory ^(talk) 20:28, 20 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]
