  • What do you mean by "One of the strings to his bow is clearly that of politician" ? Making comments and public speeches in political subjects does not makes a man politician by default. Nor does he satisfy the definition of a politician by his occupation. WP:POLITICIAN does not apply.137.97.89.175 (talk) 11:43, 24 April 2019 (UTC)[reply]
There is no in-depth coverage in reliable sources that are indepndent of the subject is fails GNG. Akhiljaxxn (talk) 05:37, 21 April 2019 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep : TG Mohandas is the head of intellectual wing in Kerala of the current ruling party of India, Bharatheeya Janatha Party. He has contributed heavily as an RTI activist and as a litigator, to protect the rights of Hindus and their places of worship, called temples in the state of Kerala. Hindus are being subjected to institutional harassment by the leftist government and he is also being harassed in social media and internet for fighting legally against this. This harassment is evident even in the above edits which is against the community standards of Wikipedia.
   1. Fight against mismanagement in temple administration[1] 
   2. Fight against mismanagement in temple[2]
   3. Fight against forceful acquisition of temple by Devaswom[3]
   4. Fight against unlawful activities.[4]
   5. Sabarimala Petition[5]

Being the head of a national parties state wing's intellectual wing doesn't make him notable. There is no in-depth coverage in reliable sources that are indepndent of the subject and no evidence he played a major role in politics or election campaigning .Thus Delete.Akhiljaxxn (talk) 05:37, 21 April 2019 (UTC)[reply]
They are not just passing mentions, either he, his public interest litigation or social comments are the subject. He is not a politician to play a major role in politics or election campaigning, no one has made such an argument here.137.97.89.175 (talk) 12:29, 24 April 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Being an Hindu nationalist is not an automatic WP:NPOL pass.Akhiljaxxn (talk) 05:37, 21 April 2019 (UTC)[reply]

  • I would like to make a plea to people to concentrate on whether Mohandes is the subject of significant coverage in independent reliable sources, per the general notability guideline. I recognise that some sources have been provided, but their impact gets lost in statements about what a wonderful Hindu nationalist he is. Such statements are only likely to make people look at this article with suspicion, because Wikipedia follows a neutral point of view, not a Hindu nationalist one. Phil Bridger (talk) 15:47, 21 April 2019 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep :He is a well known person from Kerala[1],and i hereby submitting some reliable source [2]

I think this article should be retained according to the General notability guidelines..!!

Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.
Relisting comment: As already noted above, we need fewer statements on how wonderful and important this person is, as that is completely besides the point of WP:GNG, WP:POLITICIAN, and WP:ANYBIO. It would be helpful if the "keep" !voters could indicate 2 or 3 of the best references that in their opinion support notability.

Page views isn't a valid reason to keep. So far, nobody has offered a policy-grounded rationale why the topic is notable and should be kept. Nobody has offered any sources that discuss the topic in depth. That's really all that matters here. This isn't a matter of WP:ILIKEIT or WP:IDONTLIKEIT.Akhiljaxxn (talk) 17:49, 25 April 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.
Relisting comment: Following an overturned NAC, I am relisting because of the number of SPAs in this AfD. I see only one keep !vote from an established editor here; a "keep" closure is not clearly appropriate.

  • Keep I disagree that this fails WP:GNG. Horse Eye Jack (talk) 18:18, 29 April 2019 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep: The sources are reliable and meets WP:Notability. -MA Javadi (talk) 15:52, 30 April 2019 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep and Close Admittedly, this is not a subject where I can claim to be an expert, but I think that I am smart enough to use Google News and find multiple articles from that region's media that go to some length in citing Mr. Mohandas's ongoing work [1]. I believe this article will benefit from a rewrite and improved sourcing - and that seems to be an issue with many articles that are recklessly thrown into these deletion debates. And, after more than two weeks online and multiple relisting, I think it is safe to say that it is time to move on and stop bickering over this article. Capt. Milokan (talk) 18:43, 30 April 2019 (UTC)[reply]
