Talk:V. Subbiah

Caïlacha Subbiah
Was V. Subbiah also known as Caïlacha Subbiah, or are they two different persons? --Kimse (talk) 15:47, 29 June 2011 (UTC)
 * They are the same. Copy-pasting a comment I did on T:TDYK: ""V." stands for "Varadarajulu". He used the full name for his memoirs, see http://nationallibrary.gov.in/showdetails.php?id=252183. However, this is not a first name in the Western sense. South Indian names have a different logic, the individual's name is the expanded one ('Subbiah') and the initials ahead are of father's name and village name. "Caïlacha" would be one of those, I think his name could also be written as 'K.V. Subbiah' ("K." being the same as "Caïlacha")". --Soman (talk) 16:51, 29 June 2011 (UTC)
 * Thanks for the information, Soman. I thought I saw his name on another Wikipedia project, but can't find it now. --Kimse (talk) 16:03, 4 July 2011 (UTC)

Merger
I rejected the proposal to merge the article on Subbiah's wife into this article. She was a prominent leader in her own right, and passes notability criteria. --Soman (talk) 14:37, 30 November 2011 (UTC)

Request for Comments
There is an RfC on the question of using "Religion: None" vs. "Religion: None (atheist)" in the infobox on this and other similar pages.

The RfC is at Template talk:Infobox person.

Please help us determine consensus on this issue. --Guy Macon (talk) 04:11, 23 April 2015 (UTC)
