What is "Indian language"? I find the naming of the article confusing, and not conforming to other such list articles. This article probably is about Indian poets, so it should be moved to List of Indian poets. It is better also to start articles on List of Hindi language poets, List of Bengali language poets etc ... i.e. individual language lists. There is no "indian" language, and in many cases, for example Bengali language, there are poets in , say Bangladesh, who write in Bengali, and therefore can be listed in any articles listing Bengali language poets. I suggest this article be properly moved as suggested to remove the confusing "indian language" title. --Ragib 05:39, 22 August 2006 (UTC)

Again, what exactly is an "Indian language"? Also, we already have language specific articles, country specific article. --Ragib 21:09, 26 September 2006 (UTC)

I moved it to "List of Indian poets" -- I would suggest adding links to other relevant articles (e.g., relating to Tamil or Bengali poetry), as well as links to more poets. Always useful, also, to add the information on these poets to the relevant List of years in poetry pages. Best, Sam 17:29, 16 December 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Redlinks

I am gradually going to start removing all the redlinks from this list. If the listed poet is not notable enough for their own WP entry then it should not be listed. This is simply a magnet for vanity. Gillyweed (talk) 03:41, 10 March 2008 (UTC)

Agreed. I have removed lots of recently-introduced redlinks from the Bengali poets list and will continue with the other sections. Seems that some relevant wikilinks have disappeared recently as well. --Bonadea (talk) 17:04, 18 May 2008 (UTC)
