Minnal

Old-time honest cop in India who has since retired and is a minor official in a religious charity. His nickname "Minnal", meaning "Lightning", is ungoogleable, and both the spellings I tried for his full name returned barely a dozen hits that seemed unrelated. Honest cops may be rare, but they're not inherently notable. DS 16:35, 26 August 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Keep so long as we can independently verify this information. We have articles on minor tv celebrities in the US, I think this is analagous. I would not expect a high google count for this, nor do I think that's a problem. He is notable (for what it's worth) within his cultural context. Trollderella 17:35, 26 August 2005 (UTC)[reply]
- I think DS's point is that this isn't verifiable. The only potentially verifiable fact in the article is that he was a cop. android 79 17:47, August 26, 2005 (UTC)

Comment Well, that link from the bottom apparently has his phone number, why doesn't someone call him and ask him? -HX 19:26, 26 August 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Delete for non-notability via the inverse-trollderella rule. Nandesuka 22:46, 27 August 2005 (UTC)[reply]
Delete. Non-notable. *drew 01:34, 28 August 2005 (UTC)[reply]
Frankly speaking I have not heard of this gentleman and in any case, the contents of the article do not establish any specific notability to find encyclopedic entry. Being a vice president of Ayappa Seva Sangam after retirement from police force and general comments about his functioning as an active cop does not warrant any entry here. Still, I would request some one more familiar with the person to comment further. In case, no comments are forthcoming, my comments may please be treated as a vote for Delete. --Bhadani 15:07, 29 August 2005 (UTC)[reply]
Delete – the article in its current state does not list the accomplishments to merit a thought for an inclusion. His rank is also not mentioned. =Nichalp «Talk»=
