Support. The inline cites (such as this one) appended to the article depict standard spacing. In fact, the current title is a result of a rewritten article which was submitted with a deliberately changed main header so as not to create conflict with the previous article, correctly titled K. I. Varaprasad Reddy, which was created 7 March 2009 and is now a redirect (the original article's revision history is here). The creation date of the incorrectly titled version is nearly six years later, 6 December 2014, and the two articles along with their revision histories will likely need to be merged. Further complicating the issue is this December 2013–January 2014 deletion/merger discussion which resulted in the decision to merge this biographical entry, in its earlier form, into Shantha Biotechnics.

A good deal of this article is the same as the content that was previously redirected at AfD. Old version: "Dr. Varaprasad Reddy was born in Agricultural family in Papireddy Palem, Nellore District, Andhra Pradesh, India – only child to the parents Late Venkata Ramana Reddy and Mother Mrs. Shanthamma." New version: "Dr. K.I Varaprasad Reddy was born in an agriculture family from Papireddy Palem village in Nellore district. He was the only child to his parents Late Mr Venkata Ramana Reddy and Mrs Shanthamma." Old version: "He founded Shantha Biotechnics Private Limited with the objective of developing recombinant based vaccines and therapeutic proteins for human healthcare. Their stated mission is to produce cost-effective drugs to reach the common man at an affordable price, while maintaining International standards in quality." New version: "He wasn’t pleased with what he heard and started Shantha Biotechnics Ltd with a mission is to produce cost-effective drugs that would be available for the common man, while still maintaining international quality standards. Reddy established Shantha Biotechnics Ltd. in 1993...." This implies to me that there is an outside source for the text (I haven't checked), or that the content from both titles should again be redirected as it was in the AfD that dealt with the substantially similar bio.

There do seem to be some copyvios here. The second set of sentences maps fairly well to this. Other copyvios may be present. Some revision cleanup and an overall redirect still seem to me to be in order. Dekimasuよ!17:56, 28 March 2018 (UTC)[reply]
