No notability per WP:ATHLETE. Pretty obviously an autobiography by Ashok.radhakrishnan (talk · contribs). bender235 (talk) 15:44, 27 February 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Unlikely to be an autobiography as the subject was deceased before the article was submitted. But it appears to be an obituary for a man with decent life achievements, though none appear sufficient to meet the notability guidelines, so delete. Keep based on supplied ref/info. AllyD (talk)

Delete - not an autobiography but definitely written by somebody close to the subject; we must remember that Wikipedia is not a memorial site. Nothing of note can be verified, so not worthy of an article, sorry. Giant Snowman 02:10, 1 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Keep. The subject was a member of Tamil Nadu state football team that played in Santosh Trophy, India's premier football tournament. The article needs a drastic cut to make it encyclopedic. Salih (talk) 09:59, 1 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Keep. Edited page, severely, trying to make a more neutral, relevant article. Used reference given, from The Hindu newspaper, for inline citations. References should be improved, but I think notability is established - a player for the 1973 Santosh Trophy, and a well known, long standing coach in Chennai.

Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion so a clearer consensus may be reached.
