Deletion of N. Samuel of Tranquebar

Comment: Fails |verifiability. We can't even argue about notability until we have |reliable sources that can document the claims in the article
Stance: delete

Comment: There is a list of sources in the references section (the first one, not the second one, which should probably be renamed "notes" or somesuch) none of which are available online.  They are not inline citatitons, but lack of inline citations are not grounds for deletion.  Per the  policy, we should assume that these sources do indeed have sufficient depth of coverage until shown that they do not.  None of these sources are online and there is no indication whatsoever that any of those calling for deletion on the basis of the WP:NOTABILITY guideline have actually examined these sources.  Those !votes should therefore be discounted as not policy based.  The nomination suggested this may be a hoax.  While there is nothing in depth online, there is sufficient information to show that the subject existed and the cited sources exist in libraries.  Come back here after visiting the libraries
