Unreferenced biography fails to meet WP:N guidelines, cited external links not reliable sources to establish notability in and of themselves, web searches turn up no notable articles about this person. Article is a longstanding orphan that has received little attention. ⌘macwhiz (talk) 22:42, 27 November 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Comment. This seems to be the usual spelling of the subject's name in English: Find sources: Google (books · news · scholar · free images · WP refs) · FENS · JSTOR · TWL. Phil Bridger (talk) 14:42, 28 November 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Weak Delete- If he was a member of Mysore's constituent assembly, he meets WP:POLITICIAN. But i am not able to find any sources for that (though it is likely). If i can find the sources, will change my vote.--Sodabottle (talk) 06:01, 29 November 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Keep It's hard to find sources - I added a few minor ones to the article - but it's clear from Google and Google Books [1] that he was a very active lawyer and pled many prominent cases. There may even be a street named for him in Bangalore, but it's possible it was named for an ancestor. It's really hard to find reliable sources because of the timeframe in which he was active, but I think he was notable. If kept, the article should be renamed S K Venkataranga Iyengar as per Phil Bridger. Iyengar seems to be a common surname or clan name among the Hebbar Iyengars. --MelanieN (talk) 22:47, 4 December 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion so a clearer consensus may be reached.

Comment Note that the page was recently moved from S K Venkatrangiengar to S. K. Venkatrangiengar. However, I still think the page should be moved again (if kept) to the name he was most commonly known by, namely S. K. Venkataranga Iyengar. --MelanieN (talk) 16:43, 6 December 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Comment based on the weak previews available on Gbooks, he appears to be a notable lawyer, including entries in a couple of notable yearbooks (from the Times of India). However, I can't get sufficient content from the previews to add anything to show notability. He wasn't a member of the first assembly of the Mysore State, per this, he contested as an independent candidate but did not win the election. If kept, the article should be moved to S. K. Venkataranga Iyengar. —SpacemanSpiff 18:39, 7 December 2010 (UTC)[reply]
