O. N. V. Kurup[edit]

Was awarded A-class by the article's main contributor, Rajithmohan. Should be checked if it complies with A-class criteria. Er rab ee 13:34, 20 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]

propose downgrading to Start-class. Article consists mainly of lists, which is not compliant with WP:EMBED. The lead section is too short, and too little information has been gathered. Er rab ee 13:43, 20 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]
A main contributor should not rate an article. This article is FAR from A status, and I'm taking the liberty of changing it in accordance with your suggestion. - Duribald 15:03, 20 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]
I don't have any problem with the downgrading. But, the article is definitely not on the Start-class. Please do a more accurate rating, and also please feel to put more comments to improve the article. -- Rajith Mohan ^{(Talk to me..)} 16:25, 20 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]
It's a definite start class, it's mostly made up of lists. See comments I just added, at your request. -Duribald 17:06, 20 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]
I agree with the Start class rating, listy throughout, though I do like your prose tables. Some statements need citing, such as him being know for a leftist leaning, and there is no infomation on critical response to his works. Also, could you confirm that you can release both pictures under the GFDL? RHB ^{Talk - Edits} 12:57, 22 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Downgrade to start - article is sadly lacking in biogrphical content, as would be required for an A-Class article. Also, a stub-class article can be up to three paragraphs long. This article (outside of list of works) isn't much longer than that. It certainly does not provide much information on his life, which would be required, or his campaign, which would be required if it is to be mentioned in the intro, or even the times he occupied any of the specific positions (teacher, etc.) he has occupied. What content there is is good, but not is not sufficient for more than a Start-class rating. John Carter 21:47, 22 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Start-class. Too list heavy and not enough content for even a B, I am afraid. -- Avi 19:21, 24 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Comments. Agreeing. Thanks for all the valuable comments. I will try to improve the article. Cheers, -- Rajith Mohan ^{(Talk to me..)} 05:55, 25 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]
