- Delete per nomination. The article is apparently an abstract of a paper about a Telugu poem, proposing that it be interpreted in the light of identity politics, anti-colonialism, and other usual suspects. By using Radhika Santwanam (Appeasing Radhika), a classic work of the eighteenth century Telugu poetess Muddupalani as an example, the authors have attempted to portray the imbalance in the cultural authority during the colonial period, and its changing trends. - Smerdis of Tlön - killing the human spirit since 2003! 17:15, 8 December 2010 (UTC)[reply]
- Comment. I'd also userfy this. We do not yet have articles about Muddupalani nor Radhika Santwanam, which would seem to be promising subjects. This text may be useful for the creation of those articles. - Smerdis of Tlön - killing the human spirit since 2003! 17:30, 8 December 2010 (UTC)[reply]
- Comment. I began a stub about Muddupalani, which wants expansion. I am not sure whether the character Ila mentioned in the source I found is identical to Ila (Hinduism); there seem to be some differences. - Smerdis of Tlön - killing the human spirit since 2003! 17:51, 8 December 2010 (UTC)[reply]

- Delete I just removed the bios from the article as they are copyvios of the linked sources. As for the synopsis/essay part of the article, the subject doesn't appear to be notable from what I've been able to find. But like Smerdis of Tlön says above, the subject's subjects appear to be quite notable, so this could potentially be used as a source for those articles. —SpacemanSpiff 16:35, 10 December 2010 (UTC)[reply]
