Subbarao vs SubbaRow

'Hailing from Andhra as I did, I remember asking how he spelt his name Row and not Rao. As I learnt later he would have been the last man ever to cause a row! If you look at citations of scientific papers - which is the way others use your scientific work and quote it in their publications - SubbaRow turns out to be one of the most highly cited scientists in the entire history of science.'

Such evidence, based upon testimony from a contemporaneous colleague of how the person in question spelt their own name in English, points to the correct transliteration from Telugu, Google Translate notwithstanding, into English of the person's name in this instance being SubbaRow and not Subbarao or any other variation.

A convincing argument. The Scopus index (subscription required) lists 45 papers from 1929 through 1951 that are clearly his, and none by anyone with the name Y. Subbarao before 1960. I'll see about getting the page moved. Sminthopsis84 (talk) 14:27, 10 March 2014 (UTC)
