This was nominated for speedy deletion with a poor rationale, but the subject's position did not make him inherently notable, what he actually did isn't exactly clear, and there's no proper sourcing here. Google produces nothing. Drmies (talk) 01:52, 25 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Comment I'll look to see if this guy satisfies WP:NBISHOP but suffice to say I never heard of him in my research on the Malabar Christians. ~ Pbritti (talk) 02:03, 25 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]
I see no evidence he meets NBISHOP based on the article's own assertions. Regular clergy can always meet the GNG, regardless of their hierarchical office, of course. Jclemens (talk) 17:27, 25 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]

He is called as SUBASH CHANDRA BOSE (the veteran Indian freedom fighter and the person who instituted Indian national Army during world war 2) of Syrian catholic History. This comment is made by Mr. MO Joseph a known historian of syro malabar Church. He is mentioned with great reverence in the " Indian Church History" by dr. Xavier Koodappuzha. His personal diary Nalagam was published twice. It is available in Malayalam and is getting ready for third publication. Nalagam is a historical document about the history of Kerala during 1840 to 1880, a first hand information. It also provides valid information about language, culture and social life of Kerala during the rule of British in India 37.231.117.229 (talk) 11:30, 5 March 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Comment -- The article says his diary is an important source for the history of this church in the late 19th century. If so, that might make him notable. Peterkingiron (talk) 23:31, 26 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]
I have copy of the 2nd edition of the diary 37.231.117.229 (talk) 11:31, 5 March 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Keep I've added two more general references to the article, a capsule bio and the publication info on his diary. The sources appear to be out there, just not easily accesible or in English. Some unpublished sources[1][2]. Jahaza (talk) 03:23, 2 March 2023 (UTC)[reply]
