Wikipedia:Notability (people) asks, in this case, if:

The person has received a notable award or honor, or has been often nominated for them.
The person has made a widely recognized contribution that is part of the enduring historical record in his or her specific field.

The article as it stands doesn't establish either of these. Please insert text into the article that tells the reader why Mathew is a notable figure. Josh Parris 12:41, 1 December 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for this ntoe. Biju Mathew is a member of the Organizing Committee of the New York Taxi Workers Alliance. He was one of the moving forces behind New York Taxi workers' strike in 1998. I think this qualifies his notability. Also he is a founder of Forum of Indian Leftists--Satyashodak (talk) 16:18, 4 December 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Well this 36 year's old is a Hyderabadi who has spearheaded a one of its kind revolution to unite the Multi-ethnic immigrant Taxi drivers of New York.He has been mobilizing the immigrant Yellow-cab driver community through the New York Taxi Workers Alliance(NYTWA).And it was Biju and his 25 member organizing committee of the NYTWA that organized the first -ever-of-its-kind Taxi strike in New York last year that brought him onto the front page of all the American News Papers .The strike was a collective action that turned out to be a turning point in immigrant politics in America.

Article assessment[edit]

Hello. I am assessing articles for WikiProject Asian Americans. While the article has some detail on his professional accomplishments, it is lacking in-line citations of sources and is lacking essential information about himself as a person. It also overall reads like a LinkedIn profile, rather than a neutral encyclopedia article. With some additional information and editing, this article has a lot of potential. In the meantime, I consider it a "c-class" article. Harej (talk) 01:16, 8 March 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Stub seems better. Raymond3023 (talk) 12:31, 9 December 2017 (UTC)[reply]
