I PROD'd this but the prod and my removal of peacock and weasel words was reverted by the page creator. I can't find anything on this guy in google - I'm not saying sources don't exist, but if they do they aren't in google. This is poorly sourced as it is. Perhaps someone with more experience in sleuthing out Indian sources can find something, but I can't even establish this man existed under this name using my resources, let alone establish notability. TKK!

There's nothing false about the book reference (
ISBN9788126009350 published by the eminently reliable
Sahitya Akademi - it's not a "Google Books reference", but a reliable book reference found by the Google Books search engine) which says, "... and Evoor Damodaran Nair are some of the prominent Thullal dancers who have worked long to popularise Thullal." Google Books varies in what content it displays according to various factors that seem to include the reader's location, how many people have looked at it recently and a great deal of randomness, but absence of evidence is not evidence of absence.

Hence my comments "appears false" and "or at least that portion available via Google books." However, from your quote, this appears to be one name at the end of a list, a "trivial" reference which does not prove notability.
WP:BLPNOTE requires "multiple published secondary sources which are reliable, intellectually independent of each other, and independent of the subject."

Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion so a clearer consensus may be reached.
