The article Subrata Chowdhury has been proposed for deletion because it appears to have no references. Under Wikipedia policy, this biography of a living person will be deleted after seven days unless it has at least one reference to a reliable source that directly supports material in the article.
If you created the article, please don't be offended. Instead, consider improving the article. For help on inserting references, see Referencing for beginners, or ask at the help desk. Once you have provided at least one reliable source, you may remove the {{prod blp/dated}} tag. Please do not remove the tag unless the article is sourced. If you cannot provide such a source within seven days, the article may be deleted, but you can request that it be undeleted when you are ready to add one.

Hi there
Remember me?
I thought I'd ask how you're doing these days. Shahid • Talk2me 18:27, 2 March 2021 (UTC)
- Thank you Dwai. Yes I notice your WP activity has been pretty sporadic not to say rare. I used to be pretty inactive myself and I do not have any particular intentions or interest to return to full-time editing but the Kapadia article did give me a boost of sorts. I'd work on the Shabana Azmi article but it will require a great deal of time and efforts. Anyway, I came across the article of Kahaani, a terrific film, and was pleasantly surprised to find out you were the main editor to have made it into what it is. I wish you visited WP a little more often. Your valuable work and generous attitude are missing here, and I'm sure many would agree. Cheers, Shahid • Talk2me 00:37, 3 March 2021 (UTC)

The file File:Threekittens.JPG has been proposed for deletion because of the following concern:
Orphaned image with watermark and without evidence of use. Insufficient context to determine how it might be put to encyclopedic use in the future.
While all constructive contributions to Wikipedia are appreciated, pages may be deleted for any of several reasons.
You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the {{proposed deletion/dated files}}
notice, but please explain why in your edit summary or on the file's talk page.
Please consider addressing the issues raised. Removing {{proposed deletion/dated files}}
will stop the proposed deletion process, but other deletion processes exist. In particular, the speedy deletion process can result in deletion without discussion, and files for discussion allows discussion to reach consensus for deletion. ★ Bigr Tex 02:27, 8 April 2021 (UTC)
