Sitanshu Yashaschandra[edit]

(Find sources: Google (books · news · scholar · free images · WP refs) · FENS · JSTOR · TWL)

The article's references are PR pieces, directory entries and other fluffy and cuddly things, but there is no significant coverage, which is independent of the subject, and is in WP:RS. While the draft was at WP:AFC the sole editor and reviewer was the author. This has not led to a well constructed and well referenced article about a notable person. Fails WP:PROF, fails WP:AUTHOR.

Hi, User:Timtrent. Sitanshu Yashaschandra is notable person in Gujarati literature but there are not many English language sources covering him. I had to use web sources as I cant access google book on my mobile (I edit from mobile phone mostly). If you have problem with notability, he is recipient of Padma Shri 2006, award given by Government of India for notable contributions in related field.(have news source in article) and Sahitya Akademi Award which is the highest literature award(ref of government website). Search in Find Sources: books above. It may confirm that he is notable person. Is it Ok? -Nizil (talk) 17:37, 11 July 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Comment No. The burden of proof is on you. I am sure, if he is notable, you will be able to prove it. English language sources are desirable bit not mandatory. Fiddle Faddle 18:16, 11 July 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Ok. Here are some sources: 1. Govt if India website archive citing him 2006 Padma Shri awardee 2. One India News citing 2006 Padma award 3. DNA News citing he was special guest at convocation of CEPT University, writes 'noted poet, playwright, translator and academician' 4.Times of India news 5. Press Info. Bureau-Govt of India about Padma award ceremony -Nizil (talk) 09:27, 12 July 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Put them in the article. Putting them here is pointless. Fiddle Faddle 10:30, 12 July 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Sorry, but they are citing same information for article. I have already inserted citation for Padma Shri award and does not needed many more citations. Please search and add citations from Google Books, as I cant access them. They too have refs. -Nizil (talk) 11:39, 12 July 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Added some more Google book refs too. -Nizil (talk) 17:26, 15 July 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Keep - I think that Nizil saved this article by demonstrating substantial coverage. As such, the subject meets WP:SCHOLAR among other criteria.--Rpclod (talk) 22:14, 19 July 2014 (UTC)[reply]
