Draft:Ramesh Chandra Gaur

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
  • Comment: The issue here revolves around WP:NACADEMIC. There are 8 criteria there, and from this draft it's not clear that any of the criteria is met. In which case we go over to the WP:GOLDENRULE, which requires ideally 3 examples of significant coverage in independent sources. Interviews and self posted material does not count, it needs someone like a journalist or another academic to write independently about the subject. In short, a subject can't generate their own notability, someone else has to do it. ChrysGalley (talk) 11:08, 12 May 2026 (UTC)
