Professor P Sambamurthy

Another article, more elaborate, is available as Pichu Sambamoorthi. I have incorporated the missing bibliography section there. jojo@nthony (talk) 19:10, 16 July 2016 (UTC)


 * Redirect- Google search, with Professor P Sambamurthy in double quotes, yields a good number of results. So I guess it is better to redirect it to Pichu Sambamoorthi than deleting. Hitro   talk  20:09, 16 July 2016 (UTC)
 * Yes, that is also a good option as Sambamoorthy is known more as Professor Sambamoorthy than Pichu Sambamoorthy.--jojo@nthony (talk) 05:53, 17 July 2016 (UTC)

I'm ok with redirecting this page to Pichu Sambamoorthi provided that the page title Pichu Sambamoorthi is more appropriate according to wikipedia policies. Few things to consider though:


 * His name appears as Prof. P. Sambamurthy in his published works. Note the spelling murthy' rather than moorthi''. Here's a snapshot of his book covers - Books written by P Sambamurthy


 * Except for the Padma Awards list, the name Pichu Samba... never occurs anywhere.

 * Pichu Sambamoorthi cites Open library in Biography section. Open library bio sources from his South Indian Music - Vol II, 13th edition. In that book also his name is given as Prof. P. Sambamurthy. His father's name is mentioned as Pitchu Iyer. It's customary for Tamils to have the first letter of the father's name as initial.


 * In all likelihood, the name is Pichu Sambamoorthi as Government of India listing shows so in the Padma Awards listing; Pichu taken after his father. Redirect appears to be the best option.--jojo@nthony (talk) 13:03, 17 July 2016 (UTC)
