Clarification[edit]

The article says he was a "pivotal figure in the history of Kathakali" but what is it he actually did? What field was he involved in? RJFJR (talk) 00:15, 7 September 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Assessment comment[edit]

The comment(s) below were originally left at Talk:Pattikkamthodi Ravunni Menon/Comments, and are posted here for posterity. Following several discussions in past years, these subpages are now deprecated. The comments may be irrelevant or outdated; if so, please feel free to remove this section.

One wonders how the notability of this article's subject is in question. For all its listed faults, the page unequivocally makes it clear that Pattikkamthodi Ravunni Menon is a PIVOTAL figure in the recent history of Kathakali. His professional profile, the reputation of the institute (Kerala Kalamandalam) he served, and the eminence of his array of disciples prove beyond doubt that Pattikkamthodi is a major personality in the case of this classical dance-drama from Kerala. Questioning his notability is like asking how notable a figure Mahatma Gandhi is in India's freedom struggle or how big William Shakespere is as a playwright. Or, like, what's Don Bradman's notability in cricket or Karl Marx's contribution to Communism. Well, rest is up to you bosses.
