Comment: The minor copyediting you mentioned might be okay if human-reviewed. However, the AI did more than that, meaning this article doesn't follow WP:NOLLM - for one thing, four of your eight sources are errors that are listed but never defined (three look like they're sources you cited to in article but are tagged under a different source name), and one is Wikipedia, which can't be cited in an article and which AI often cites regardless of our policy against it. Your sources also don't seem to all support their claims.I'd recommend you delete the AI content and rewrite the article off of the sources, limiting your AI use to finding sources that you subsequently check to confirm existence and content and minor copyediting (not restructuring, not adding, etc) that's human-reviewed. Remember, it's better to have an article that's got grammar/spelling/etc errors, which is perfectly normal even for articles in mainspace, than articles that are AI-generated, which are not permitted at all. I can actually tell some parts in the article aren't AI-genned, for example the sentence "He is widely regarded as the first person to use the term & is often called as "Father of Chhayavaad", and it's totally fine and normal prose there with an expected and non-problematic level of grammar error (though it should have a citation). The rest of the prose, though, has AIBold, AIJustification, broken refs which don't support their claims, etc. If you need any advice or anything, i'm happy to help out there.

Pandit Mukutdhar Pandey (30 September 1895 – 6 November 1989) was an Indian poet, essayist, literary critic and translator associated with modern Hindi literature. He is particularly associated with the early development of Chhayavaad, a literary movement in modern Hindi poetry characterised by romanticism, subjectivity, mysticism and nature imagery.[1]
Pandey's four-part series of essays, Hindi Mein Chhayavaad, published in the literary periodical Shri Sharda in 1920, was an early critical discussion of the emerging poetic tendency. In the essays, he associated the new poetry with mysticism, symbolism and suggestiveness and discussed its emphasis on the inner world of the poet.[1]
Pandey also wrote in Chhattisgarhi and translated classical Sanskrit works, including Kalidasa's Meghaduta, into Chhattisgarhi. He was awarded the Padma Shri in 1976 for literature and education.[2]
Early life
[edit]Mukutdhar Pandey was born on 30 September 1895 in Balpur, a village in the Bilaspur district of the Central Provinces and Berar of British India. He belonged to a Chhattisgarhi Saryuparin Brahmin family. Balpur is now in Janjgir–Champa district of Chhattisgarh.[3]
His father, Pandit Chintamani Pandey, was a Sanskrit scholar. His elder brother, Lochan Prasad Pandey, was a Hindi writer, poet and archaeologist.[3]
Pandey received his early education in his native village and later continued his studies in Prayagraj (Allahabad). He began writing poetry at a young age. His first published poem appeared in 1909, when he was fourteen years old.[4]
Literary career
[edit]Pandey wrote poetry, essays, literary criticism, fiction and translations. His works included both Hindi and Chhattisgarhi literary writing. His poetry frequently employed nature imagery and lyrical and reflective themes.[4]
Chhayavaad
[edit]Pandey's name is closely associated with the early history of Chhayavaad in Hindi literature. In 1920, he published a series of four essays under the title Hindi Mein Chhayavaad in the literary magazine Shri Sharda.[1] He is widely regarded as the first person to use the term & is often called as "Father of Chhayavaad".
The essays examined new tendencies in contemporary Hindi poetry and described them in terms including the mystical, mysterious, symbolic and suggestive. Pandey related these tendencies to the influence of Western Romanticism and the poetry of Rabindranath Tagore.[1]
Pandey's essays became an early theoretical discussion of the poetic movement subsequently known as Chhayavaad. His role in the movement has consequently led to his being described in some Indian literary and educational sources as one of its founders or pioneers.[5][6]
His poem Kurari Ke Prati has also been identified in regional literary sources as an early example of romantic poetry in Chhattisgarh.[5]
The major poets subsequently associated with Chhayavaad included Jaishankar Prasad, Suryakant Tripathi 'Nirala', Sumitranandan Pant and Mahadevi Varma.
