Salangaiattam

This is an irrelevant article. Either user should have created it in sand box and would have search for references. Day000Walker (talk) 13:51, 3 September 2011 (UTC)
 * Delete - at least under this name, it appears to be unverifiable and doesn't meet the notability guideline. Using google I could find one trivial mention of a folk dance under this name, from a source of questionable reliability. There also appears to be a group called Salangai Attam, but that would be a different article. -- Beloved Freak  15:34, 3 September 2011 (UTC)

 * Comment It's not an irrelevant article, but at this point finding online sources is going to be difficult and there's really nothing to write a sourced stub. It's a fairly popular folk dance, and any study of it etc will be in Tamil books only (Gbooks doesn't have). What I've been able to find online are just program listings in newspapers "xyz is performing Salangai Aattam at abc" or program reviews "this included a performance of Salangai Aattam" and so on. If anyone else has better luck, I'm adding the Tamil search string below. &mdash; Spaceman  Spiff  08:21, 8 September 2011 (UTC)


 * Delete - The article should have been created in sandbox, developed to meet Wikipedia standards. The contributor should have made effort to search references. I strongly recommend deletion. The contributor should seek help from Tamil wiki teams and try to publish finished articles. Searched a lot on internet still unable to find supporting ref.
