Hi Jkaharper. I think that the source you used to cite the death of K. Kunchunniraja (http://pathradipar.com/1920-kerala/) is just a copy or close copy of the [https://ml.wikipedia.org/wiki/%E0%B4%95%E0%B5%86._%E0%B4%95%E0%B5%81%E0%B4%9E%E0%B5%8D%E0%B4%9A%E0%B5%81%E0%B4%A3%E0%B5%8D%E0%B4%A3%E0%B4%BF%E0%B4%B0%E0%B4%BE%E0%B4%9C Malayalam Wikipedia article. Or am I missing something? Canadian Paul 05:31, 16 April 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Hi CP, you are quite correct. I read this earlier then went hunting for another source. It turns out the page is badly translated. It should probably be "K. Kunjunni Raja. Anyway, here is an academic paper from the University of Calcutta that gives a bio on him, including birth and death dates listed on the Malayalam Wiki: https://www.academia.edu/34313751/Kunjunni_Raja.doc Do you think the page should be moved to the new name spelling?

Thanks for that. As for the name, transliteration can take lots of different forms, so it is possible that both are correct, just using different styles. I don't have enough expertise in the language, unfortunately, to know which is "better". I do note, however, that there are far more results on Google for "K. Kunjunni Raja", despite it not being the Wikipedia title (which produces Wiki mirrors), so that is probably a fair case for it being moved. Canadian Paul 21:58, 21 April 2019 (UTC)[reply]
