Comment: Please don't remove previous declines! EatingCarBatteries (contribs | talk) 05:02, 21 May 2026 (UTC)
- Comment: To expand on the above, just as an example it is utterly dishonest to cite a Times of India article which briefly quotes Shetty for a comment on a 'cultural fest' for a claim that "He was featured by the Times of India for his professional achievements and academic work". That is a lie, plain and simple. Please do not take us for idiots. AndyTheGrump (talk) 06:41, 15 December 2025 (UTC)
- Comment: There are still the same issues with unsourced content and citations that do not fully verify the preceding text. There are also instances of a non-neutral point of view through the draft, such as claims like
His clinical work combines surgical precision with research into improving postoperative visual outcomes and patient accessibility.
