Appusami[edit]

(Find sources: Google (books · news · scholar · free images · WP refs) · FENS · JSTOR · TWL)

Can't find notability (or even existence) of this series of novels and short stories. Search in google news for Appussami and any of the pseudonyms listed comes up empty. Web search also isn't turning up notability. Given the age of the series (first appearing in 1963), it's possible a dead tree search will turn up something, and language issues may be hindering my search, but I've come up empty.

Keep - Appusami series is a highly popular one is Tamil Nadu. It has been in continuous publication in Tamil print media for four decades. A lot of them have been made into TV Shows. Here are a few reports in RS The Hindu1, The Hindu2, Screen Magazine etc. There are many more Tamil print sources available to source. I will clean up the article.--Sodabottle (talk) 05:53, 9 May 2010 (UTC)[reply]
