[edit] Telugu Tejam

Telugu Tejam (edit|talk|history|links|watch|logs) – (View log)

Article is about a 'title' which google could not define, but it speaks more about a person (seems to be N. T. Rama Rao) whose article here doesn't even mention the word 'Telugu Tejam'. Google brings up nothing relating to this being a title either. Lastly, there seems to be a book written by "N.T.R" called Telugu Tejam, but that is certainly not what this article is about. -- Anonymous Dissident^Talk 22:49, 17 August 2007 (UTC)

• Delete This seems like a WP:COATRACK article to me. This is apparently an actual award, but I don't see anything to suggest that this is a notable award. i ^said 02:05, 18 August 2007 (UTC)
  • And the article does not even mention an award either. -- Anonymous Dissident^Talk 02:21, 18 August 2007 (UTC)
• Strong keep - all this article needed was a little clean up and grammar fixes. It's a perfectly notable award like all other Indian awards on Wikipedia. It was even awarded to the famous film actor, director, producer, and politician N. T. Rama Rao. The nominator says that Google brings up nothing about the title, yes it does, I don't think you can speak the language that's why. The nominator also says that N. T. Rama Rao wrote a book entitled Telugu Tejam and that's 'certainly not what the article is about' - no, a book was written entitled Telugu Tejam and presented to Rama Rao as part of the award. -- Thruppence 11:18, 19 August 2007 (UTC)
  • Hmmm. You may be right, but I still think it pushes a bit of a POV. And it said nothing of an award in the article, but rather that it was a 'title'. -- Anonymous Dissident^Talk 12:47, 19 August 2007 (UTC)
    • I don't know about you, but when you confer a title to someone I would very much say that it is an award. Thruppence 21:06, 19 August 2007 (UTC)

No, a title of King is not an award. And the title/honor/award itself has nothing to show that it is a notable award. i ^said 21:09, 19 August 2007 (UTC)

I is right. A title is in no way a reward. A 'title' can often be a negative thing; They gave him the title of 'coward' when he confessed he was scared of killing the spider. -- Anonymous Dissident^Talk 21:46, 19 August 2007 (UTC)

1) I didn't say 'reward' I said 'award'. 2) I didn't say the title itself was an award, but the bestowment or conferring was an award. Thruppence 11:15, 21 August 2007 (UTC)

True - I meant 'award'. And that is not necessarily true either. It is, in a very vague sense, but it was not even slightly indicated in this article. -- Anonymous Dissident^Talk 21:42, 21 August 2007 (UTC)

• Delete. Poorly sourced, with more information about the awards recipient than what the award actually is. Cool Hand Luke 00:51, 25 August 2007 (UTC)

• Merge with N. T. Rama Rao unless and until other examples are mentioned. JASpencer 14:57, 25 August 2007 (UTC)
