Thank you for contributing to Wikipedia. Your draft submission to Articles for creation has been reviewed but not accepted at this time.
Feedback
The reviewer, Thilsebatti, left the following feedback:
This draft's references do not show that the person meets Wikipedia's criteria for inclusion for people. The draft requires multiple published secondary sources that:
  • provide significant coverage: discuss the person in detail, not brief mentions or interviews lacking independent analysis;
  • are reliable: from reputable outlets with editorial oversight;
  • are independent: not connected to the person, such as interviews, press releases, the subject's own website, or sponsored content.
Please add references that meet all three of these criteria. If none exist, the subject is not yet suitable for Wikipedia.

Next steps

  • Edit Draft:Abid Haleem to address the points above, making sure to publish any changes.
  • When you are ready to resubmit your draft for review, click the Resubmit button.
  • If you do not edit your draft in the next 6 months, it may be deleted.

Feedback
The reviewer, ChrysGalley, left the following feedback:
This draft is not adequately supported by reliable sources. Wikipedia's verifiability policy requires that all content be supported by reliable sources.
  • Reliable sources include: reputable newspapers, magazines, academic journals, and books from respected publishers.
  • Unacceptable sources include: personal blogs, social media, predatory publishers, most tabloids, and websites where anyone can contribute.
Replace any unreliable sources with high-quality sources. If you cannot find a reliable source for the material, it should be removed.
Source 2, the CV, goes 404, and source 4 is blocked outside India. The CV is essential here, and ideally you would have further sourcing. I can see a case under NACADEMIC criteria 1, but we still need good sources.

Thank you for reviewing the draft.
I understand the concerns regarding independent secondary sources. However, the article is being submitted primarily under WP:PROF rather than WP:GNG, as substantial biographical media coverage of the subject appears limited. A previous AfC reviewer commented that the subject "certainly fulfils WP:PROF".
Could you please clarify what additional sourcing or evidence would be needed to demonstrate compliance with WP:PROF in this case? I would be happy to improve the draft further based on your guidance.
Thank you for your time. AcademicEditorIN (talk) 12:19, 9 June 2026 (UTC)Reply
