[edit] Proposed Deletion

Anuradha Sriram is a prominent playback singer who has sung innumerable classics in Indian languages. I've provided adequate references and sources. Placing a deletion tag here is just like placing one on Mozart regarding him of being a "culture-specific" artist. I advice the person who has placed it to remove it to immediate effect. Otherwise, it shall be regarded as a blatant display of Eurocentrism. --

[edit] Significance?

Ok, I'll admit, maybe I was quick in tagging this article, but I still fail to see the significance. I just think that maybe this article would be better suited in a Wiki with another language, as all of her films and songs, etc... are seemingly restricted to the Asian continent. That is what I meant by "culture-specific", and I definitely did not intend it to sound ethnocentric. Manderson198 (sprech) 17:22, 15 December 2007 (UTC)

Firstly, there is no rule in Wiki which states that culture-specific articles should not be permitted in the English Wikipedia.

Secondly, there are many Bollywood stars who havent appeared in Hollywood films. Take the example of Kishore Kumar. Yet their contributions to Indian cinema have been immense. We have a project 'Wikipedia Indian Films' to maintain such articles. This is simply not a reason good enuf for the article to be deleted. --
