Talk:Suniti Namjoshi

Untitled

Hi,

I think when I first published the page only bits and pieces appeared which made it look rather dubious. Glitches fixed now. Suniti Namjoshi is a well-known writer and poet, much published and has a significant presence online with her work on cyberfeminisms. She definitely deserves a page on wiki.Raathkirani 07:46, 18 October 2006 (UTC)

The Notability guidelines for people specify that if the person is

“Published authors, editors and photographers who received 
multiple independent reviews of or awards for their work”

then she may be considered notable. Editing appropriately.

Suniti Namjoshi From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia Suniti Namjoshi is a poet and a fabulist. She grew up in India, worked in Canada and at present lives in the southwest of England with fellow writer, Gillian Hanscombe. Her work is playful, inventive and often challenges prejudices such as racism, sexism, and homophobia. Many of her fables try to expose the absurd and unnecessary cruelty that is the result of an established imbalance of power.
