Subramania Raju

 * – ( View AfD View log )

Subject appears to fail WP:AUTHOR. Very hard to find any material at all on author of one novella, but may be that dead tree sources are better. Complicated by the fact that this name looks like "John Smith" in terms of common-ness in India. References to his friends in the article tangentially asserts inherited notability. --Legis (talk - contribs) 06:18, 13 December 2011 (UTC)

 * Delete - if the extent of the claim is one novella and a few articles, that's clearly not meeting WP:AUTH unless the novella has become a "significant monument" etc. There is very little on the web. I did find a brief ref to "leading authors" in The Hindu which is tantalising, but without an actual book review (on dried tree pulp if need be) there we have nothing to go on. I'd be very happy to be convinced otherwise by better sources. Chiswick Chap (talk) 21:06, 13 December 2011 (UTC)
