This page should also conatin literary works from all Tamil speaking countries.Currently it contains information only from Tamil Nadu. Hope somebody from these regions or who knows information regarding such works can add these information to this article.
The earliest known Sri Lankan Tamil poet was Eelattu Poothanthevanar, whose poems were included in the Tamil cankam (sangam) poetry anthologies compiled in southern India before 250 ad. A distinctly Sri Lankan Tamil literary tradition first developed in the 1940s with the works of the so-called marumalarchi (renaissance) writers Mahakavi, A. Kandasamy, and Varadar. [1] User:Karooran
Iam not sure if this is the right place to mention about emerging poets and their controversise. Tamil Literature is too broad a topic for such information. I think this needs to be moved to a more "appropriate page". -- Sanjeeth 09:17, 2 Dec 2004 (UTC)

This article requires a complete rewrite. Here is a very ambitious structure of what I think an 'ideal' article on Tamil literature would include:
Feel free to edit this list as you like - and especially to say which bits you think you can take primary responsibility for. We can probably also draw on some of the people who write for the Tamil wikipedia. As you can see, this whole thing will probably be too big for one article. We could perhaps just write summaries of some of these sections for now, but they should ultimately be fleshed out in their own articles, if not here.
To get started, I'll write and post a draft of the Cankam literature section this weekend. - Arvind 15:50, 28 Jan 2005 (UTC)
I suggest that all pages on Tamil in Wiki use a consistent system of spelling. The best would be to use the Tamil Lexicon system which has the advantage of being consistent with other Indian alphabets. For example we will have Pāratiyār, Cilappatikāram etc.
There is no mention of Omaruppulavar's epic Seeraappuranam which details the biography of Prophet Muhammed. This is an important example of ancient Tamil Muslim scholarship.—Preceding unsigned comment added by 172.202.96.95 ( talk • contribs)
Venu, Perhaps Akilam may be one among the largest (by a single author) works in Tamil. Then it may be the best narrative ballad to tell right from creation to the end(similar to Bagavatham I think) which was somethig unusuall in Hindu History. It also seems that it includes Mahabaratha and Ramayana, kanda Purana within itself. So it is definitely notable. - white dot...!!! 15:09, 10 August 2007 (UTC)

This article has serious lapses in sourcing. Much of the article is simply without any sourcing whatsoever. I was also able to spot some WP:PEACOCK also thought I havent looked very closely at the article yet. There are several content issues also that need to be taken care of. Before that however, i feel that this article should be rewritten from scratch. Sarvagnya 17:30, 22 April 2008 (UTC)
In addition, I'd be grateful if whoever added the verification tags to the various quotes could clarify exactly what it is they're looking for verification of. The tags by themselves aren't much help. -- Arvind ( talk) 10:33, 23 April 2008 (UTC)
"Contributors to the Tamil literature mainly were Tamil people from Tamil Nadu, however there have been notable contributions from European authors."
The statment does not credit Eelam Tamils who have contributed immensely to Tamil literature since ancient times. Also, it does not acknowledge the Diaspora contributions (Malaysia, Singapore, Europe, Canada), since their contributions add different elements to Tamil literature. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 69.158.186.177 ( talk) 17:19, 10 November 2008 (UTC)
