Sri Anna Subramanium

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

No indication of notability. Orphan article. The only cited sources are a souvenir and an apparently self-published book written by his great-granddaughter. —Bkell (talk) 12:12, 1 November 2019 (UTC)

 Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus. Relisting comment: A claim that there are sources but none have been provided at this AfD?
 * Comment Someone should really conduct a WP:BEFORE in the relevant languages. I get hits on Google, but I don't know the language so can't assess the reliability and independence of sources. The Tamil-language Wikipedia article is useless because it's a translation of this page. – Finnusertop (talk ⋅ contribs) 17:54, 1 November 2019 (UTC)

 * Delete: the longname given at ta-wiki does not appear at all at books.google.com and the shortname brings up too many other people; the sources that are provided are unreliable; and the article in its current state is a hagiography. It looks like some of his books have been used as references by others, and given his output it might be possible to establish his notability under WP:NAUTHOR, say, using reliable and independent Tamil language sources, so draftify/userfy for heavy editing if request is made accompanied by suitable evidence. ~Hydronium~Hydroxide~(Talk)~ 12:48, 16 November 2019 (UTC)
 * Delete: There are no reliable and independent sources. 124Sanroque (talk) 02:01, 17 November 2019 (UTC)
