antiochian.org lists him on Nov 22 as "Righteous Jacob of Evia", so a search for "Iakovos" or "Tsalikis" found nothing -- Iakovos is the Greek form of the name, not a transliteration variant, so normalize_transliteration can't bridge it. Give the saint a full_name carrying his Greek name and surname; search already matches full_name. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5.5 <noreply@anthropic.com>
antiochian.org and goarch.org both list "Righteous Jacob of Evia" on Nov 22 with no life. Add one, written by Claude and checked claim by claim against published accounts: - Wikipedia, "Iakovos of Evia" - Orthodox Observer, Abp. Elpidophoros, "On the Feast Day of Saint Iakovos (Tsalikis) of Evia" - orthodoxpath.org, "Elder Iakovos Tsalikis - A Glimpse of His Holy Life" Claims only one source supported, or that the sources disagreed on (the year the family fled, the village, the exact canonization date), were left out or kept general. He reposed on Nov 21, 1991, the feast of the Entry; the commemoration is kept on the 22nd. The life ends with a note that it was written by AI. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5.5 <noreply@anthropic.com>

Summary
A request asked for St Iakovos (Tsalikis) of Evia to be added. He was already on Nov 22 (Greek tradition) as "Righteous Jacob of Evia", which is also the name goarch.org's Online Chapel uses. But searching for him by his Greek name found nothing, and his entry had no life.
full_name"Righteous Iakovos (Tsalikis) of Evia (1991)". "Iakovos" is the Greek form of the name rather than another spelling of Jacob, so the transliteration normalizer can't connect the two. Search already matchesfull_name, so "Iakovos", "Tsalikis" and "Jacob of Evia" now all find him.Test plan
