This draft's references do not show that the subject qualifies for a Wikipedia article. In summary, the draft needs multiple published sources that are:

in-depth (not just passing mentions about the subject)
reliable
secondary
independent of the subject

Make sure you add references that meet these criteria before resubmitting. Learn about mistakes to avoid when addressing this issue. If no additional references exist, the subject is not suitable for Wikipedia.

The content of this submission includes material that does not meet Wikipedia's minimum standard for inline citations. Please cite your sources using footnotes. For instructions on how to do this, please see Referencing for beginners. Thank you.

Declined by Spiderone 6 months ago.

Comment: The referencing is a complete mess. There are multiple citations to support statements, where only one would do. Meanwhile, there are entire sections without a single citation. There are also citations in section headings, where it isn't clear at all which source is meant to support what content in the section.
Then there is a large number of external links listed under 'References', which are not cited anywhere, so arguably aren't references at all. If the author is wishing to rely on those to establish notability, they need to be cited inline in the usual manner.
Speaking of notability, I've no idea on what basis this is being claimed. The sources certainly don't satisfy WP:GNG. There are extravagant claims of 'renown' etc. but these seem little more than peacockery.
If special WP:AUTHOR or WP:NACADEMIC notability is being asserted, please state clearly on what basis this is, and what evidence supports such an assertion.
Finally, note that this is now the 8th review by the 8th different reviewer, and the draft is therefore nearing the end of the road. I hope the next submission will be more convincing, because otherwise this may well be rejected outright. DoubleGrazing (talk) 11:25, 29 August 2024 (UTC)

Comment: stuffed with primary sources and commercial links to buy books, YouTube and The Times of India none of these are reliable. Theroadislong (talk) 06:42, 28 August 2024 (UTC)

Comment: Commercial links to purchase books need to be removed they are NOT useful sources. Theroadislong (talk) 07:04, 27 August 2024 (UTC)

Comment: Fails WP:NAUTHOR - Amazon.in is not an acceptable or reliable independent source. Needs to be more than mentions in passing or inclusion on lists. Dan arndt (talk) 06:07, 22 April 2024 (UTC)
