Proposed deletion of Shatavadhani Ganesh[edit]

The article Shatavadhani Ganesh has been proposed for deletion because it appears to have no references. Under Wikipedia policy, all newly created biographies of living persons must have at least one reference to a reliable source that directly supports material in the article.

If you created the article, please don't be offended. Instead, consider improving the article. For help on inserting references, see Referencing for beginners, or ask at the help desk. Once you have provided at least one reliable source, you may remove the {{prod blp}} tag. Please do not remove the tag unless the article is sourced. If you cannot provide such a source within ten days, the article may be deleted, but you can request that it be undeleted when you are ready to add one.

note that a link to the subject's personal blog does not constitute reliable third party sourcing. -- The Red Pen of Doom 17:58, 8 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]

That is not the subject's personal blog, but an online anthology of kannada poets . [1] vishvAs Iyengar vAsuki (talk) 18:09, 8 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]

It is a blog, and except for news blogs like those at CNN or Reuters, blogs such as above are not considered reliable references under the Wikipedia policy. Please read WP:RS first. You may want to get references to some published sources like newspapers and books to make the article better. Gmcssb (talk) 04:05, 16 October 2012 (UTC)[reply]

I have added the minimum required references. Clearly, a major kannada author is notable. vishvAs Iyengar vAsuki (talk) 18:09, 8 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Nobody is debating the subject is not notable. The articles need to conform to Wikipedia policies that's it else they can be deleted. Gmcssb (talk) 04:05, 16 October 2012 (UTC)[reply]

External links[edit]

Please stop adding external links.-- TRPoD aka The Red Pen of Doom 01:53, 15 October 2012 (UTC)[reply]

I don't understand. Yehudi Menuhin contains links his performances. Why this objection here? Also why do you keep deleting the link to the TV interview which provides a good reference for understanding the subject better. vishvAs Iyengar vAsuki (talk) 02:03, 15 October 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Please read the policies, especially WP:PRIMARY and you will understand. Gmcssb (talk) 04:05, 16 October 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Also, I understand that I am speaking to a culturally ignorant person who cannot even comprehend the language(s) the subject performs/ composes in - please correct me if I am wrong. vishvAs Iyengar vAsuki (talk) 02:03, 15 October 2012 (UTC)[reply]

You need to review the Wikipedia guidelines about what constitutes a reliable source, the external link guidelines, and our copyright guidelines (and a quick view of WP:NPA might be in order as well). -- TRPoD aka The Red Pen of Doom 17:25, 15 October 2012 (UTC)[reply]

vishvAs Iyengar vAsuki, Wikipedia has a policy of no personal attacks, please read WP:NPA. There is no need of words like culturally ignorant in this discussion. TheRedPenOfDoom is right, the article badly needs reliable third-party references. Gmcssb (talk) 04:05, 16 October 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Just to clarify, I was not making a personal attack. Just checking what the gentleman knew about the subject's art-form for the purpose of discussing the article (motivated by some bizzare misunderstandings about the material I was using - such as the 'personal blog' comment). I am ignorant of Swahili culture - that is not at all a shameful thing for me; I don't see why similar admissions should be difficult for others. In any case I suppose this is moot now that others have improved the article. vishvAs Iyengar vAsuki (talk) 17:09, 17 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Source[edit]

Can we use information from this source?[2]Rayabhari (talk) 15:34, 1 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]

It's clearly an article published by Suryaprakash Pandit in some newspaper or magazine or book, but I think we ought to make clear the publication history first before using it... as it is, it now seems an article on a website instead of a published source. :( 59.92.151.168 (talk) 12:07, 2 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]
