[edit] Jayaram Padikkal

Doesn't require any encyclopediac entry

• Keep Wikipedia is also a historical reference. We have various Army officers, ranks and even politicians names and history documented here. Jayaram Padikkal had a important role to play when it comes to discussion of National Emergency and how it was enforced in Kerala. Wikipedia's aim is to share information without prejudices, nor towing the official party/government lines of any nation. --qmsarge 13:20, 10 August 2005 (UTC)

• Keep The article is well written. The person is a minor historical figure but does have signifiance to recent Indian history. --Share_Bear 13:06, 10 August 2005 (UTC)
• Weak Keep - I can't say if he is notable or not. However, the article could use cleaning up and removal of some POV writing. --Cholmes75 13:20, 10 August 2005 (UTC)

Comments only no Vote: I am not sure about his notability and historical significance of his life to have an independent page here. I may say one thing for sure: if Jayaram Padikkal is notable than there have been / are 100s of similarly “notable” characters in the Indian bureaucracy, including the Indian Administrative Service and the Indian Police Service. --Bhadani 14:07, 10 August 2005 (UTC)

• Keep- Given that we keep mayors of North American cities, I think the highest ranking police officer in India probably deserves an article, eh? My only concern is about the quality of this article, not its notability. --Scimitar ^parley 15:30, 10 August 2005 (UTC)
• Keep based upon the rationale presented by Scimitar. Hall Monitor 16:41, 10 August 2005 (UTC)
• Keep and cleanup as per Scimitar. Capitalistroadster 17:51, 10 August 2005 (UTC)
• Keep, we have less notable people, as said above. →ubεr nεmo→ ^lóquï 19:36, August 10, 2005 (UTC)
• Keep. Needs major rewriting, but still perfectly valid. -- Necrothesp 18:09, 12 August 2005 (UTC)
