Overall: Copyvio removed, neutrality issues are fixed, notability of colleague which I was originally concerned was puffery has been confirmed (apologies for stating it as such), year of birth is confirmed - I was bold and removed her full birthday as there is still no reliable source provided, BLP issues around personal life are now resolved, a thorough copyedit has been done (many thanks Victuallers). Lead looks fine now. I made some tiny copyedits to assist. Overall, she is indeed an article on an important Indian research scientist. Aussie Article Writer (talk) 17:25, 7 July 2021 (UTC)[reply]

- I think this article is worth reconsideration for DYK. It is still in the list of nominations and I have spent some time addressing the points that @Aussie Article Writer: identified. I'm sure its not perfect, but I think it is up to DYK standard. I would like to encourage @Sachinvenga: to look at the edits I've made and check I have no misrepresented the Prof.... then maybe another editor can recheck this for DYK. This is a notable Prof and the "suspicious" researcher turns out to be a dead prof who did in fact make huge contributions. So? can we reconsider? Victuallers (talk) 16:45, 7 July 2021 (UTC)[reply]

I am happy to have another look. Let me check now. - Aussie Article Writer (talk) 16:54, 7 July 2021 (UTC)[reply]

@Victuallers: all issues I raised have been addressed, thank you for doing this. - Aussie Article Writer (talk) 17:25, 7 July 2021 (UTC)[reply]

@Aussie Article Writer: I have added an extra ref for the COVID link and I have given @Sachinvenga: a barnstar. Can you look at it again after I or someone else have added a pic? Victuallers (talk) 08:01, 8 July 2021 (UTC)[reply]

@Victuallers and Sachinvenga: brilliant! This passes, this is a fantastic hook, let’s get this to DYK! - Aussie Article Writer (talk) 09:22, 8 July 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Aussie Article Writer, it is the last-listed icon in the review that determines what the bot thinks in terms of whether the article has passed, and the lowest of the icons is the slash, not the tick. If the article does pass at the moment, please insert a tick in a comment below this one to confirm that fact. Thank you very much. BlueMoonset (talk) 00:41, 10 July 2021 (UTC)[reply]

BlueMoonset I’m really sorry, I’m still new to this. How do I do this? - Aussie Article Writer (talk) 00:55, 10 July 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Never mind, I got it. - Aussie Article Writer (talk) 00:58, 10 July 2021 (UTC)[reply]
