Draft:Ravindran Raghavan
| Submission declined on 24 October 2024 by MarcGarver (talk). This submission's references do not show that the subject qualifies for a Wikipedia article—that is, they do not show significant coverage (not just passing mentions) about the subject in published, reliable, secondary sources that are independent of the subject (see the guidelines on the notability of people). Before any resubmission, additional references meeting these criteria should be added (see technical help and learn about mistakes to avoid when addressing this issue). If no additional references exist, the subject is not suitable for Wikipedia. This submission does not appear to be written in the formal tone expected of an encyclopedia article. Entries should be written from a neutral point of view, and should refer to a range of independent, reliable, published sources. Please rewrite your submission in a more encyclopedic format. Please make sure to avoid peacock terms that promote the subject.

Comment: For example, sentences like " He has been excellent in converting interesting conversations into articles that remain as a note of history" are not neutral, tend to promote the subject of the article and, because they are not supported by a citation, are particularly problematic.
