Keep Appears to be a notable work in the Tamil canon. Andrew D. (talk) 22:33, 17 November 2018 (UTC)[reply]
- No objection to an article about the poem with sources - however, Wikipedia is not intended as a publisher of poetry or anything else. Rogermx (talk) 02:46, 18 November 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Transwiki This belongs on Tamil and English Wikisource. Agree with OP. Andrew has once again missed the point and is arguing about "notability" when the issue is not related to notability. Hijiri 88 (聖やや) 04:25, 18 November 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Comment, agree with above that this poem should be transwikied, but could there also be a redirect to a section that lists these poems at Avvaiyar (and/or eventually breaking out an article called "List of Tamil Poetry)? Coolabahapple (talk) 12:20, 18 November 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Yes, that should be done too. Ideally we could have an actual encyclopedia article on the poem. However before redirecting this page to the article on the poet, the link(s -- it also redlinks to a different spelling of it!) to this page on the poet article should be removed to prevent circular redirects. (Honestly, I've always found redlinks are better for encouraging article creation than redirects; for one thing, many editathons, including the ongoing WAM, won't recognize contributions that are expansions of redirects.)

Delete per nomination. Wikipedia does not carry guidelines specifically for poetry. But we do not have sources. The Gnome (talk) 14:51, 24 November 2018 (UTC)[reply]
