A longstanding article about a retired highways engineer who subsequently published some books. The article has always been laden with prose praising the subject, but with predominantly primary sources and shopping sites. English-language searches are not finding better, but it is possible that someone familiar with Tamil literature may find sources to verify the claims in the article text - in which case I will happily withdraw this nomination - but as it stands this subject appear to fail the WP:AUTHOR criteria or broader WP:GNG.

• Delete as it looks like a ludicrous hagiography to me, but I’d reconsider if there are sources in Tamil to indicate a pass of WP:AUTHOR. Mccapra (talk) 20:35, 13 April 2023 (UTC)
