Fails WP:GNG. I'm not sure if this is meant to be Kayadu per the title or Kadayu' per the opening sentence but either way I can find no reliable sources that discuss this person. There was a source - this one - but it seems to make no mention of the subject. Does the person exist as a mythological figure in Hinduism? Probably, yes. Are they a notable example? It seems not.

Delete Google Books confirms 3 or 4 sources (search on Kayadu Prahlada) but nothing in depth to write an encyclopedia article with or denotes notability. -- Green Cardamom (talk) 02:15, 16 September 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Redirect to Prahlada for now, she has some significance in Narasimha Purana and we ought to develop our coverage on most of the Puranas, and possibly retarget a merge at a later time to a list of characters. cheers. —SpacemanSpiff 03:53, 16 September 2013 (UTC)[reply]
- I'd support a G5 deletion now as we are now aware that this is the work of an indefinitely blocked sockmaster who hasn't shown much regard for our policies. So if Doug or any other wants to close this AfD that way it's totally fine. If kept, the article would have to be rewritten completely to ensure that verifiability and POV concerns common with the editor's contributions aren't an issue. —SpacemanSpiff 03:41, 19 September 2013 (UTC)[reply]
  - Me, too. I came across this article only because I was investigating the poor contributions and shortly after nominating it here I made the sock connection and reported to SPI. - Sitush (talk) 05:47, 19 September 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Comment I was going to delete this as an article created by a sock until I found this AfD. Dougweller (talk) 20:55, 18 September 2013 (UTC)[reply]
