A quick web search indicates he is real. If you believe he is non-notable, or that this article sould be deleted according to other policy, take it to AfD. Please don't hijack this article to recreate your own article which was apparently already deleted twice. Tim Shuba 05:52, 11 February 2007 (UTC)
The person is real. The article should be moved to "T. M. Soundararajan." The first two letters are initials. He is a very popular playback singer from Tamil Nadu. AfD not required. ɤіɡʍаɦɤʘʟʟ 22:01, 13 February 2007 (UTC)

Mukta Srinivasan: "Sonia Gandhi became emotional when TMS sang ``Ullam Urugudhaiya at the first anniversary of Rajiv Gandhi's death for which she had come down from Sriperumbudur. ``What do the lines mean, she asked. "My heart melts... she was told. She had just begun walking down the dais but stood transfixed and moved. "Such is the power of TMS's voice and his music.

Vali's Eulogy:" T. M. Soundararajan was one of the first to tell me to come to Chennai and try to make a name here, he said. Vali had written his lyrics (``Karpanai Endralum..., a devotional number on Lord Muruga which is popular even today) on just a post card and had sent it to TMS. "The popularity of the song was most unexpected".
