Draft:Rashmi Singh

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
  • Comment: After multiple prior reviews of this draft, not to mention multiple prior attempts to create this article going back 10+ years, we still have no evidence of notability. The sources are a mix of interviews and other primary sources, passing mentions, and quasi-sources of uncertain provenance. I think enough reviewer time has been expended on this draft already, therefore I am now rejecting rather than merely declining this. DoubleGrazing (talk) 06:56, 18 September 2026 (UTC)
  • Comment: The Times of India is not a reliable source. Theroadislong (talk) 07:40, 17 September 2026 (UTC)
  • Comment: As per the last review. Please see the referencing tutorial. qcne (talk) 17:01, 16 September 2026 (UTC)
  • Comment: Please remove all inline external links, these are not allowed; convert to citations where relevant.
    Please ensure that the draft contents are comprehensively supported by inline citations throughout; this is a hard requirement in articles on living people. See WP:REFB for advice. DoubleGrazing (talk) 07:13, 16 September 2026 (UTC)
