Malathi Chendur
Moved to mainspace by Naga sai sravanth (talk). Self-nominated at 19:54, 14 January 2019 (UTC).
 * ... that Malathi Chendur (pictured) was awarded the Sahitya Akademi Award for her novel Hrudaya Netri?
 * ALT1: ... that Malathi Chendur (pictured) wrote a weekly column, "Pramadaavanam", in the Andhra Prabha newspaper which appeared continuously for 47 years, earning a Guinness World Record for the longest-running column?


 * Symbol question.svg Hi, I edited and wikified the article. I'd like to direct your attention to a note that I left on the talk page about the use of her first rather than last name per WP:SURNAME. I'm adding the freely licensed image to this nomination, and also wikifying the hook. Please note that there's no inline cite for the hook fact, and it's also unclear why this award is named in two succeeding paragraphs under different names: are they the same award? IMO you have a far hookier hook in the number of novels she wrote and translated, or her Guinness World Record for longest-running column. Yoninah (talk) 22:24, 15 January 2019 (UTC)


 * Thanks Yoninah for adding image to nomination. The awards are different one is given by government of Andhra Pradesh and other given by government of India. And I am interested in changing the hook. So changed the hook.Naga sai sravanth (talk) 15:00, 17 January 2019 (UTC)
 * Thank you. But the hook is really long. You don't have to put every piece of information into a hook, or else readers don't need to click on the article. How about shortening it?
 * ALT2: ... that "Pramadaavanam", a weekly column by Malathi Chendur (pictured) that ran continuously for 47 years, set a Guinness World Record?
 * Or:
 * ALT3: ... that Malathi Chendur (pictured) wrote a weekly newspaper column for 47 years? Yoninah (talk)


 * Thanks Yoninah for suggesting alternate hooks. I thought the hook must be as it was in the article so provided lengthy hook. Then we will go with the ALT2. Naga sai sravanth (talk) 16:12, 17 January 2019 (UTC)
 * OK. But I'm going to tweak it some more:
 * ALT2a: ... that "Pramadaavanam", a weekly column by Malathi Chendur (pictured), appeared continuously for 47 years, a Guinness World Record?
 * Symbol voting keep.svg Here is a full review: New enough, long enough, neutrally written, well referenced, no close paraphrasing seen. ALT2a foreign-language hook ref AGF (I checked it on Google Translate) and cited inline. Image is freely licensed. No QPQ needed for nominator with less than 5 DYK credits. ALT2a good to go.
