Bharti Dayal
[edit]- ... that Bharti Dayal's Madhubani art (pictured) was the subject of a documentary shown on French television in 1995?
Created/expanded by Nvvchar (talk). Nominated by Titodutta (talk) at 08:25, 5 March 2016 (UTC).
This article is new enough and long enough. I have tweaked the hook and the article to fully reflect the statement in the source. {Not every programme on French TV is necessarily produced by them.) The image is appropriately licensed and I have fixed the two typos in the image caption, both in the article and the hook. The article is neutral and seems to be free of copyright problems.

The lead is written too subjectively and promotionally: "A vigorous proponent of Madhubani art, she stands tall in the list of famous Mithila painters". Please rewrite the lead and other overly-promotional statements in an encyclopedic style. Thanks, Yoninah (talk) 21:12, 15 March 2016 (UTC)
- Yoninah Sorry about it. Another user had added it. I should have removed those additions fully. I have edited the article now. Please see.Nvvchar. 10:04, 16 March 2016 (UTC)
- @Nvvchar: I started editing and reorganizing the presentation, and in the process found that the sourcing is very weak. I removed the Amazon.com source and added a bunch of "citation needed" tags for you to verify (or delete) the information. If you could find other reliable sources, that would be ideal, as the article is not strong on notability at the moment. Yoninah (talk) 00:13, 17 March 2016 (UTC)
- @Nvvchar: Per your request, I looked for WP:RS, to help your nomination. I couldn't, neither in English nor in other European/Asian languages. I concur with @Yoninah, that this article is weak on notability. The website you used is non-RS/ reads like a blog/SPS with unclear editorial policies, though it is an artsy website by interesting people. Unless you or someone can find better sources, consider withdrawing it from DYK. Ms Sarah Welch (talk) 04:38, 20 March 2016 (UTC)
- I have tried but could not find any more reliable sources. More over some unknown user is again making lot of additions with out linking to any source. Hence I prefer to with draw this nomination. I am deleting the tagged texts in view of lack of references.Nvvchar. 13:25, 20 March 2016 (UTC)
