Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Arun Kumar Pallathadka (2nd nomination)
1) Indeed it is true that the article has previously been deleted due to lack of reliable sources. But this does not mean that the article cannot be created again with reliable sources. WP:CSD#G4 is not applicable to this article; since the reliable sources have been added to the new article which were not present in the earlier article which was deleted earlier. 2) One of the references is the official website of a cabinet minister in the Government of Karnataka, Ms.Shobha Karandlaje and the enclosed articles in that page are from Udayavani and Vijaya Karnataka which are indeed leading regional dialies in the state of Karnataka. Another reference is of course from Indian Express which is a National English daily and undoubtedly a very reliable third party source. yet another reference is an independent and trusted third party website devoted to the promotion of authors/literature and can be taken as as a reliable source as well. 3) A simple search in google brings ample and multiple citations on the web including the fact that the said person is a member of a Governmental order called Knights of Rizal, Thailand chapter. 4) Further the first book written by him has sold more than one lakh copies in the international market and as per reliable source (ref:2) it is on its third edition with a print order of 2.5 lakh copies as on July 2010. The subject has also won a gold medal in a national-level scientific writing in English as per reliable source (ref:2). 4) The subject has written more than two books and two of them are available in google books online. 5) So in my humble opinion the article presently meets   and prima facie the article can be kept subject to removal of unverified contents as when it appears. Further I will try adding more third party sources and citations, once this afd is over. Thanks
