A low profile party member and former MLA. There has been no news of this person lately, therefore, failing
Wikipedia:NPOL and
Wikipedia:BLP1E. Often confused with the BJP politician
K. Annamalai. Hence, I suggest this page to be deleted as along with the above-mentioned reasons, this page has been inactive for a long time and relies on a single source as mentioned in the article heading.

Keep. Every member of a national or state legislature is notable, according to
Wikipedia:NPOL. There is no reason to delete this article. Eastmain (

Yes, the BJP politician K. Annamalai has not been a member of state or national legislature yet, but he has gained a lot of traction in India and particularly, in his state Tamil Nadu due to his En Mann En Makkal padayatra (foot journey) in the past few months, thus gaining notability.
Whereas, the AIADMK politician has never been in news since he became MLA in 2001. Also the page of the AIADMK politician has been inactive except for a few cases of hijacking of the article wherein people confused the politician with BJP's K. Annamalai. Is it wise to keep the less notable politician's page but delete the politician's page who is more popular? Moreover, when the BJP politician's page was deleted previously, he had less to no popularity. But now, that has completely changed.

Keep: The subject passes
WP:NPOL as an MLA; notability is not temporary.

Keep. Article does need improvement, but serving in the national legislature is the kind of inherently notable role where we need to have something. We don't care whether the coverage was recent or not, either: if he had coverage while he was in politics 20 years ago, then that's still notability-building coverage.
