[edit] Poomulli

Non-notable family history Kuntan 17:00, 29 September 2006 (UTC)

• Comment. Google returns only 190 results, out of which most are names of people with last name "Poomulli". utcursch | talk 07:57, 2 October 2006 (UTC)

On what basis are you telling that? Please note that this Mana was one time (even in the 1900s)the biggest centre of cultural activities like Music and Arts in the Malabar. They were also the biggest Namboothiri landlords ever in Kerala history. Besides this Mana was one of the best designed buildings according to the naalukettu architecture designed by same architect of the present Koothambalam at Vadakkunnathan Temple. Also poomulli had the position as one of the chief priests of the Kozhikode Zamorin and was one of the two families who held the responsibility of crowning the Zamorin.The Doordarshan even produced a documentary named "Poomulli Peruma" which said about this once-prominet family of Kerala The user 2000 19:47, 29 September 2006 (UTC)

No responses? Now what will decide finally whether this article will be deleted finally or not? The user 2000 03:57, 1 October 2006 (UTC)

• Weak keep The assertions of notability for this family are based on folklore (founding a temple), hosting cultural events, two or three family members who haven't got their own articles, and a building. But a Google search in English easily confirms existence of the family as landowners, and for example Poomulli Neelakanthan Namboodiri seems pretty notable for elephant care, [1] and [2] so I don't see a good argument for deletion. Is the folklore verifiable?? --Mereda 07:58, 2 October 2006 (UTC)

Yes. This folklore is verifiable from *Sankunni, Kottarathil (1996). Urakath Ammathiruvadi, Aithhyamala. Thrissur: Current Books.. Also besides that the folklorish origin is just but a small part of the article. They are more known for the position they held in the Malabar even till the end of the last century. And yes, this person known as Poomulli Neelakandan Namboothiripad also requires an article on Wikipedia (it is one of the articles that I am working on right now besides other Kerala based articles). Please also note that Ammathiruvadi Temple is a prominent temple of Kerala. The user 2000 11:25, 2 October 2006 (UTC)

• Keep - Bharatveer 09:08, 3 October 2006 (UTC)
• Weak Keep - References are not easily verifiable. All except one are internal wiki-links. Poomulli Mana should be expanded. Right now it is redirecting to this article. - Ganeshk (talk) 02:51, 4 October 2006 (UTC)
• Strong keep- Poomulli Mana is one of the best known Nambudiri families in Kerala. Most keralites know this family and their contributions to various artistic and religious sponsorships. This family's history is connected with Kerala's social history as a whole. This article needs to be expanded and developed further, not deleted. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Srkris (talk • contribs) .
