The article qualifies was created on 30 December, the day of nomination.
Sourcing is good: mostly to reliable newspapers such as Mathrubhumi, The Hindu and similar. Citations are formatted correctly. I corrected one where the wrong reference was mistakenly used to support some text.
The hook fact is interesting and can be verified using the sources noted here.
QPQ review done on 2 January.
The article is comprehensive and does not omit anything significant.
No close paraphrasing or copyvio noted. I have checked each online source, using Google Translate for the Malayalam sources.
Other policy requirements (neutral wording, length, citations, no previous DYK appearance) are also met.

Verified and ready. Hassocks5489 (Floreat Hova!) 17:30, 4 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]
