Talk:The Vegetarian

Translator
I think the translator is not the same as the author born in 1955 which is linked in the article now. The Library of Congress authority file has an entry for Deborah Smith born in 1987 who is a translator of Korean fiction. Information from LC: Deborah Smith; (b. 12/15/1987; holds a BA in English from the University of Cambridge and an MA in Korean Studies from SOAS; since 2011 she has been studying for a PhD at SOAS, focusing on contemporary Korean fiction, and has also been translating literary works from Korean into English; recipient of the ICF Korean Literature Translation Fellowship 2012-13, and her translation of "His First Love" by Bae Suah was published in 2012 by the Asia Literary Review; winner of The Arts Foundation Literary Translation Award 2016).

If this is sufficient justification, I can create a new wiki article for the translator.--FeanorStar7 09:53, 17 May 2016 (UTC)
 * Awesome! Please go ahead, dear . I think she's notable enough. Make sure you read WP:N and WP:GNG before creating a new article if you are not already familiar. Best, Nairspecht   Converse  10:07, 17 May 2016 (UTC)
 * Thanks. I think she meets the notability guideline for books (has won a literary prize; splitting the prize with the author) but am not sure she meets GNG yet. Most of the citations I found in the news media are for this one prize... Let me know what you think... --FeanorStar7 10:34, 17 May 2016 (UTC)
 * Dear, I think she is notable enough for a Wikipedia page. Some of the articles I found that you can add -

Hope these will help. Let me know if you need any help. Best, Nairspecht   Converse  10:46, 17 May 2016 (UTC)

Cat:Film adaptation
Hi ! I think this cat which you just removed is not redundant. Can you tell me why this was removed? Best, Mr. Nair   Talk  06:22, 19 August 2016 (UTC)

Translation
Why is there no discussion of the criticism of the translation? https://www.babbel.com/en/magazine/translation-controversies?btp=default&clinkid=16130407&signin=K6S-A5oTtsF-2Ccx0MyAi2EDzxlKTl5erJV4WcWIqLGflYma&utm_campaign=2021-06_esm_en_batch_demo_lgs_6plus6_nl&utm_content=711011_2021_07_17_16&utm_medium=CRM&utm_source=email&utm_term=v1&sc_src=email_711011&sc_lid=16130407&sc_uid=f0fKpbW01F&sc_llid=380494&sc_customer=2ba4be039a13b6c17ed82731d0cc808b Kdammers (talk) 15:11, 17 July 2021 (UTC)
 * Because you haven't added it yet? (though Smith's article does discuss it) Wikipedia is a volunteer project, so anyone noticing omissions can help address them. I've added some basic discussion of the translation's reception. Feel free to expand it. Opencooper (talk) 22:28, 20 July 2021 (UTC)
