  • Keep but stub. Looks notable: The Hindu, maybe QuiteUnusual 11:08, 7 October 2006 (UTC)
    • Sankaran Kutty the cartoonist and Sankaran Kutty the erstwhile member of the Kerala Legislative Assembly are two different people, if the cartoonist's autobiography is correct. Uncle G 15:44, 7 October 2006 (UTC)
  • Comment It's one line is a copyvio from that external link. The JPStalk to me 12:02, 7 October 2006 (UTC)
  • Keep This seems like one of those situations where someone could be quite notable and google wouldn't be that helpful. I'd love to find some sources but when I look at his career of political cartooning, it's difficult to imagine an american cartoonist with that many credits and such a long career who wouldn't be notable. A little digging: [1] mentioned in the obit of another cartoonist in a way that implies (though doesn't assert) notability. (edit conflict) I think a one sentence copyvio is pretty easy to fix.

    • Yeah, I know, but if it's original author can't be bothered to write an article, then neither can I. The JPStalk to me 12:22, 7 October 2006 (UTC)
  • Comment - Kutty is a common last name in Kerala. I think I will move the (info on the) page to P.K. Sankaran Kutty . Article info moved to P.K. Sankaran Kutty Bakaman Bakatalk 19:13, 7 October 2006 (UTC)
  • Keep - per dina.Bakaman Bakatalk 19:16, 7 October 2006 (UTC)
  • Keep' - the cartoonist is notable, but the article is in a very sorry state. It needs to be expanded. --Ragib 19:22, 7 October 2006 (UTC)
  • Conditional Weak Keep the article is about a notable person; however, it needs serious work. As mentioned before, the single line it contains is a copyvio of the one external link provided. My vote is "weak keep" as long as the article gets completely rewritten. Wikipediarules2221 21:12, 7 October 2006 (UTC)
  • Speedy Keep. Re-written. utcursch | talk 06:51, 8 October 2006 (UTC)
  • Note: This debate has been included in the list of India-related deletions. Bakaman Bakatalk 00:03, 8 October 2006 (UTC)
  • Keep and wikify. Dekimasu 10:30, 8 October 2006 (UTC)
  • Keep .-Bharatveer 10:46, 8 October 2006 (UTC)
  • Very Strong Keep- Sankarankutty was a renowned cartoonist and artist who lived in Kerala. He had drawn more than 20000 book covers. Most of them were for DC books,kottayam.
  • This article is very much informative.A person from a foreign country may be ignorant about the fame and notability of an artist in Kerala.It is natural. As a journalist in kerala I have no doubt about his notability.Most of the Malayalam periodicals had published his cartoons and artworks. Nileena joseph 11:53, 9 October 2006 (UTC)
  • This article should be moved to Kutty (cartoonist). Noone knows him as "Puthukkody Kottuthody Sankaran Kutty". Tintin (talk) 11:32, 10 October 2006 (UTC)
    • It has a redirect from Kutty, though, so I think it's okay. Maybe we'll need a disambig there at some point. --Satori Son 21:11, 12 October 2006 (UTC)
