[edit] Requested move

Paliam → Paliath Achan – As discussed on AfD page. WP is not a genealogy database, but the Paliath Achans are notable.

• Support found some online reliable sources (see my AFD comment) for that title, did not find any for the family as a whole. GRBerry 17:30, 28 June 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Discussion

Add any additional comments

• Paliath Achan is a royal title, and it "means" the eldest male from Paliam family. So if you move it to Paliath Achan, the article will in turn have to describe this Paliam family.(Plus, the whole thing has to be rewritten). Therefore, in my opinion, this article should remain as such, and another article called Paliath Achan should be created. Besides, I dont see why this needs to be deleted as there are many other articles on royal families on Wikipedia. -- thunderboltz^{a.k.a.Deepu Joseph |TALK}14:40, 26 June 2006 (UTC)

The issue is that no-one could produce outside sources to use on a Paliam family article during the AfD, and in addition it runs afoul of WP:NOT a genealogy site. The Paliath Achan are a notable part of the family and the article should focus on them. If there is enough material to cover more family members it might make sense to start an article on them. ~ trialsanderrors 00:00, 27 June 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Added pictures and list of Paliath Achans

I added pictures of the Paliam Naalukettu and a picture of a Paliath Achan. I need to find out which Valiyachan it actually is. I've also added a list of Paliath Achans --Vivin Paliath (വിവി൯ പാലിയത്) 18:21, 13 January 2007 (UTC)
