Your submission at Articles for creation: Francis Dore (February 5)

Your recent article submission to Articles for Creation has been reviewed. Unfortunately, it has not been accepted at this time. The reason left by Drmies was:

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.

The comment the reviewer left was:

I do not see that the Padma Shri alone is grounds for notability, and the rest of the sourcing (which should contribute to this passing GNG) is not very impressive either. I cannot see more than a snippet Indo-French Relations: Prospects and Perspectives, but the parts I see on Google Books don't look all that impressive and the mention of Dore seems to be very short, just a mention. In other words, it could confirm the award, but that's about it. Neither the ToI nor Rediff actually discuss the subject, and they actually don't even agree on the basic facts.

Please check the submission for any additional comments left by the reviewer. You are encouraged to edit the submission to address the issues raised and resubmit after they have been resolved.

If you would like to continue working on the submission, go to Draft:Francis Dore and click on the "Edit" tab at the top of the window.
