  • Comment: This DRV set a block on accepting a draft on this subject under any title. Where is the corresponding DRV that removed that block? DoubleGrazing (talk) 07:31, 9 June 2024 (UTC)
  • Comment: Annamalai was not elected to the Lok Sabha in today's elections, so still no WP:NPOL#1 pass. As always, this does not preclude him from being notable via WP:GNG. Curbon7 (talk) 21:23, 4 June 2024 (UTC)
  • Comment: (Note from DRV) As an AfC reviewer only submit to DRV for a review if:
    1. you have peformed the review yourself
    2. are in the process of accepting (because you deem the draft to be ready) but need permission for recreation
    3. the draft is suitable for being also reviewed at DRV (prima facie worthy of a review there, meaning looks fine on a cursory look and is not too burdensome to review, so, for example, not refbombed)

  • Comment: A summary from a reviewer new to this saga: someone will need to point to an DRV endorsement before this article can be approved. Secondarily, a decision will have to be made about the correct article name and disamgibuator. microbiologyMarcus (petri dish·growths) 22:32, 1 January 2024 (UTC)
