Non-notable. -- Alan Liefting (talk) - 07:07, 30 September 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Keep: Google news has hits about this person (in The Hindu, circulation 1.4 million), and a cursory look shows they describe him as a well-known architect. See, e.g., [1] ("architect Eugene Pandala, who has played a major role in popularising the concept of mud construction" and goes on to quote him in depth as "Mr. Eugene"). Google books has one hit describing "the mud houses of Prof Eugene Pandala, which have received international acclaim."

Nominator first prodded this article 6 minutes after its creation, and prod said "This page may meet Wikipedia’s criteria for speedy deletion as an article about a band, singer, musician, or musical ensemble that does not credibly indicate the importance or significance of the subject. See CSD A7." Yes, he's probably not a notable musician because he's an ARCHITECT. Prodder then fixed it for a person, but COME ON. Its difficult to follow WP:BEGIN on this kind of article in 6 minutes. Of course article should move to Eugene Pandala for capitalization.--Milowent (talk) 17:26, 30 September 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Keep: Besides what you find in google search, Archiect Eugene Pandala is popular in india through the local medias which is not available through Google. His fashonable and neo mud buildings are a hope to the people who love the nature and for the people who need low cost housing. His Tsunami housing done for the Leading indian News paper Malayala Manoramma Circulation of more than 12 Lakhs, Has many references to his work and One Sunday Magazine featured is work which gave hope to the poor people to build affordabe houses. Many Local news paper in regional laguages have featured his low cost buildings. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 115.118.22.82 (talk) 05:51, 2 October 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Keep I just fixed one of the references listed in the article. A notable publication which counts as a reliable source, Business Standard, had an article about the guy winning an award. The award one was notable enough to mention, so that counts to his notability as well. Dream Focus 23:31, 4 October 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Fixed the remaining references, and changed the articles name. His last name should obviously be capitalized. Dream Focus 23:36, 4 October 2009 (UTC)[reply]
