Comment. I can't even figure out what the subject's most common name is from this article. It seems like the "artist" in the title is supposed to be a qualifier, not part of his name, but it is not clear whether he just goes by "Jeeva" or whether he would more commonly be known by a longer version of that name. --Metropolitan90 (talk) 13:40, 27 May 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Delete. As I said at the DRV, I have researched this and could not find anything significant on him or his school. His name is Jeeva Nanthan; see User talk:Pvrmagesh. Chick Bowen 18:10, 27 May 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Keep Notable artist. He is professionally known mononymously as "Jeeva". The prefix "Oviyar" (lit. Artist) is used to differentiate him from other "Jeeva"s in the Tamil film and literary fields. He is usually referred to as "V. Jeevananthan" (or sometimes erroneously as "V. Jeevanathan" in news reports. Prior to the award win, he has been quoted in news reports. [1][2]. After the Jury special mention award in the 58th Indian national awards (the highest film awards in india), He has received non-trivial indepth coverage in The Hindu ([3]), Deccan Chronicle [4] Thats Tamil and other Tamil mainstream media outlets. I will try to find and add more tamil media coverage (mostly offline, but i have seen them). The national film award special mention satisfies WP:ANYBIO. I have copyedited and wikified the article. If it is kept, it can be moved to "V. Jeevananthan" --Sodabottle (talk) 04:30, 28 May 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Keep, per above. Suggest chage of title to Jeeva (artist) as a starter; I'll leave some very basic feeback on the RfF page re references, and some how-to-do-references stuff on editor's talk page. Pesky (talk …stalk!) 19:12, 28 May 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Keep The in-depth coverage identified by Sodabottle is certainly enough to satisfy WP:BIO. Perhaps this article should be moved to "V. Jeevananthan" or "Oviyar Jeeva." A Stop at Willoughby (talk) 16:33, 31 May 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Keep per Sodabottle, looks like he meets WP:BIO. Qrsdogg (talk) 19:39, 31 May 2011 (UTC)[reply]
