Kolkata S. Krishnamoorthy

I cannot find RS coverage of this person that would indicate notability. Tagged for non-notability a year ago. Epeefleche (talk) 03:36, 16 December 2011 (UTC)


 * Comment - The article makes the unsourced claim that this individual translated Tirukkuṛaḷ and Silappatikaram, both of which seem to be very significant in Tamil culture. At least one source specifies that the individual is a recipient of Sahitya Akademi and Rabindra Puraskar awards, the latter of which is apparently the most prestigious of its kind. I don't see all that much out there when searching either romanized form of his name - so we may need to get a Bengali and/or Tamil translation of his name to be certain that we're not overlooking something. —  C M B J   11:43, 16 December 2011 (UTC)

 *  Keep - This article's name is itself very confusing because the person being talked about here is "Subramanian Krishnamoorthy" or "S Krishnamoorthy".The word "Kolkata" is just a name of the place (it seems that he lived in "Kolkata" for a large part of his life) and not a part of this person's name which is why google search results turn up empty.Yes, this person is a Sahitya Akademi prize winner,technically "Akademi Translation Prize"-->see this from the government website of sahitya akademi award-->go to http://sahitya-akademi.gov.in/sahitya-akademi/searchAwards.jsp then select "AKADEMI TRANSLATION PRIZE" in "Awardwise search" .The name given here is "S. Krishnamoorthy Kurudtppunal " which is not to be confused;"S. Krishnamoorthy" is the person's name and "Kurudtppunal" is the name of the original tamil book that he translated(his tanslation's name is "Raktabanya").Another reliable source is this but the name again is misspelt.Thus this person becomes notable according to WP:GNG.But this article's name must be changed to Subramanian Krishnamoorthy to avoid confusion.

 * Keep Article needs some clean up and would benefit from further references, but notability seems to be satisfied. Pol430  talk to me 17:01, 1 January 2012 (UTC)
