Radhakrishna K E[edit]

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

Unsourced biography of a living person. Likely autobiography by Raghuvicky (talk · contribs). I don't see notability per WP:POLITICIAN. bender235 (talk) 15:40, 27 February 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Delete Sourcing is hard to find in Gnews. Heck, may fail WP:V on most of the article, given how difficult it is to search for somebody in India when you only have a last name and initials to go by (Googling did confirm somebody with a name spelled approximately like that came in a very distant 3rd in an election). I think this is one of those cases where the spirit of WP:V says we should delete this, as improvement is not likely, and the odds of passing the GNG are difficult to estimate due to problems finding sourcing relative to the unimportance of the subject. Ray^Talk 17:24, 28 February 2011 (UTC) Striking per Phil's very nice work below. I am decently abashed, but glad he was able to fix up the article. I do suggest that, if this article is kept, it be renamed so the last name doesn't come first. Ray^Talk 20:48, 1 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Comment. There's nothing at all difficult about searching via initials and surname, as that is the style by which many people are known in India. All 51 of these sources found by Google News refer to this subject, so verifiability of the basic facts in the article is not an issue. I also don't see any evidence that this is a likely autobiography, and notability is not claimed as a politician, so the link to WP:POLITICIAN is a red herring.

Keep thanks to good research by Phil Bridger, but rename to K. E. Radhakrishna. --MelanieN (talk) 01:51, 20 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]
