With some other kind of topic it might be adequate to insert a fact that's not sourced but can be sourced, but since this was information about a
living person, it must be sourced or it's subject to summary deletion, particularly if it is the least bit contentious or likely to be challenged. —

Generally that standard is applied to information that can be considered contentious, but it's a good practice to require sourcing for facts in a BLP. If you doubt information in a BLP that is not necessarily contentious but is unsourced, it might be best to ask on the talk page whether someone has a source, or look for a source yourself first, before just deleting it. —

Funny, but what I added to the flight attendant was easily sourced and not contentious. I did not call the man crazy.

Had it been false, it certainly would've been contentious for it to exist in the article. This kind of thing is exactly what needs to be inserted with a source attached. —

Username
While it is certainly allowed for you to use a username that does not have any Latin characters in it, it is preferred on the English Wikipedia that you format your signature in such a way that it features the transliteration of your username into the English alphabet, so other users who are not versed in Tamil can refer to you in conversation without having to constantly copy and paste your username. For more information, see
WP:SIG#NL.—

I orginally requested a name with partial Roman alphabet but the name was rejected by the Wikipedia computer citing that I cannot have mixed script. So, I deleted the Roman alphabet part even though I thought it made it harder to read. I have a new signature, let's see if it works.

I saw your post on
WP:AN. It is preferred if you have your entire username in your username in English, rather than all in Tamil with one English character.—
