Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/KT Manu Musliar
Nominator wrote: "Since he recently died according to the article, people with access to the right language newspapers should be able to confirm whether he is notable." Wikipedia:Notability states: "If an article fails to cite sufficient sources to demonstrate the notability of its subject, look for sources yourself." Nominator made no indication that they search for references themselves.  a policy states, Preserve information. Whatever you do, endeavour to preserve information. Instead of removing, try to (examples), Wikipedia:Deletion policy: "When in doubt, discuss first on the talk page...If the page can be improved, this should be solved through regular editing, rather than deletion"  and  "Remember that deletion is a last resort. Deletion nominations rarely improve articles, and deletion should not be used as a way to improve an article, or a reaction to a bad article. It is appropriate for articles which cannot be improved."  The nominator is using an AfD to clean up the article and make other editors prove notability, instead of looking for these sources himself, and working with other editors to find sources first, against all of these rules. Therefore this AfD should be speedy closed
