Keep. The article's current state is grim, but this isn't cleanup. A focused Google Books search returns snippet views of quite a few seemingly reliable sources--including at least a couple scholarly journals on the topic of Indian musicology--that seem (based on the available excerpts) to regard Sarangapani as historically influential. The article would very much benefit from someone with experience in the field and access to the appropriate sources, but I think this is more an example of the difficulties in sourcing pre-Internet topics from certain parts of the world (such as, here, India), rather than a lack of notability. Unfortunately, I don't think I can arrange access to the requisite works in anything like short order. Squeamish Ossifrage (talk) 20:15, 12 April 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Keep. I will add valid sources, but need time. He is closely related to Venugopalaswamy Temple, Karvetinagaram and there is valid article source regarding Sarangapani in this article. He is one of the famous medieval poets of Padam tradition in Telugu. aggi007 (talk) 12:26, 13 April 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Keep. Of course, he is notable. See, e.g., [1] (pp. 448-449), [2]. --Tamtam90 (talk) 23:25, 13 April 2018 (UTC)[reply]
