Your submission at Articles for creation: S. M. Ikram (April 12)

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

This submission does not appear to be written in the formal tone expected of an encyclopedia article. Entries should be written from a neutral point of view, and should refer to a range of independent, reliable, published sources. Please rewrite your submission in a more encyclopedic format. Please make sure to avoid peacock terms that promote the subject.

The comment the reviewer left was:

WP is not a place for lengthy analysis or reviews of a person's work - WP is limited to factual information that is ALL sourced to third-party sources. This article is too long and reads like a magazine article but not an encyclopedia article. You must have references, like newspapers or journals, for every fact in the article so that others can verify all of the information. You should not use his own works as references; WP articles are built on what others (scholars, journalists, etc.) have written about the person.

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 when they have been resolved.

If you would like to continue working on the submission, go to Draft:S. M. Ikram and click on the "Edit" tab at the top of the window.
If you need any assistance, you can ask for help at the Articles for creation help desk or on the reviewer's talk page.
You can also use Wikipedia's real-time chat help from experienced editors.

Don't wikilink last in cite

As Template:Cite book/doc cautions, never wikilink the author's last (or first) name. Instead, use author-link.

Incorrect:	`\|last=[[S. M. Ikram\|Ikram]] \|first=S. M.`
Correct:	`\|last=Ikram \|first=S. M. \|author-link=S. M. Ikram`
