Talk:Shashank Subramanyam

Untitled

So according to this page, Shashank invented the internet, can play a flute with his seven hands and owns carnegie hall...interesting. JK, but this isn't an article so much as a rave review by a fan. Fadedroots (talk) 06:47, 7 January 2008 (UTC) Agree, need to correct for NPOV as it reads like a rather shameful advert. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 80.229.83.223 (talk) 13:31, 18 April 2008 (UTC)

Article issues

I've tagged the article with some maintenance tags. This article seems to be completely non-NPOV and seems to be written by fan (see discussion above dated 2008). I've cleaned up the lead sentence (it referred to him as 'legendary') but I don't know much about the subject to really go further. If anyone wants to help clean up this article, feel free. --My Pants Metal (talk) 14:27, 29 December 2022 (UTC)

Hagiographic content

I have stubbified this article (again) because it was "sourced" only to the subjects website about me page. other refs I checked in recent attempts went nowhere.

Sources independent of the subject are required. See WP:RS and WP:BLP for wikipedia policy regarding sourcing. - Roxy the dog 18:11, 8 June 2025 (UTC)

Should this article be deleted

@Bech07: The current version of the page contains almost no content, but old versions such as the one of 09:08, 1 November 2023 (UTC) did. There is a huge sourcing problem. But other language Wikipedia articles on the subject have citations:

• ml:ശശാങ്ക്_സുബ്രഹ്മണ്യം
• kn:ಶಶಾಂಕ್_ಸುಬ್ರಮಣ್ಯಂ
• te:శశాంక్_సుబ్రహ్మణ్యం
• fi:Shashank_Subramanyam

I do not think it should be deleted.-- Toddy1 (talk) 11:06, 7 November 2025 (UTC)

I guess it has lack of notability, which seems to be the main issue here.! Bech07 (talk) 11:56, 7 November 2025 (UTC)
