 * Delete: I can't find significant coverage for this author. Joe Chill (talk) 02:53, 6 February 2010 (UTC)
 * Delete I found one piece in Dinamalar, but even that appears to be a reformatted press release, mostly because it's supposed to be a sequel to Kalki Krishnamurthy's Ponniyin Selvan. Doesn't pass WP:NBOOK at present. &mdash; Spaceman  Spiff  06:21, 9 February 2010 (UTC)
 * Comment : Spiff, the Dinamalar books page is a user submitted one. They wanted to build a database of books and were lazy enough not to build a proper catalogue, so they invited publishers, authors and general users to make submissions. A lot of self published books have made it into the list through here .--Sodabottle (talk) 09:43, 9 February 2010 (UTC)
 * Ah, ok. I thought it was a regurgitated press release, not a user submission. Eitherways, can't be used to show notability. &mdash; Spaceman  Spiff  17:31, 9 February 2010 (UTC)
