Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Jeeva Artist
Notable artist. He is professionally known mononymously as "Jeeva". The prefix "Oviyar" (lit. Artist) is used to differentiate him from other "Jeeva"s in the Tamil film and literary fields.  He is usually referred to as "V. Jeevananthan" (or sometimes erroneously as "V. Jeevanathan" in news reports. Prior to the award win, he has been quoted in news reports. http://www.hindu.com/mp/2003/01/20/stories/2003012001140300.htmhttp://www.hindu.com/thehindu/mp/2007/10/15/stories/2007101550160100.htm. After the Jury special mention award in the 58th Indian national awards (the highest film awards in india), He has received non-trivial indepth coverage in ''The Hindu'' (http://www.thehindu.com/todays-paper/tp-features/tp-metroplus/article2052620.ece), ''Deccan Chronicle'' http://www.deccanchronicle.com/channels/showbiz/kollywood/oviyar-jeeva-gets-honour-last-771 http://thatstamil.oneindia.in/art-culture/essays/2011/23-tamil-writer-national-award-aid0128.html Thats Tamil and other Tamil mainstream media outlets. I will try to find and add more tamil media coverage (mostly offline, but i have seen them). The national film award special mention satisfies . I have copyedited and wikified the article. If it is kept, it can be moved to "V. Jeevananthan
