Your submission at Articles for creation: Dr. Surendra P. Shah (September 17)

Your recent article submission to Articles for Creation has been reviewed. Unfortunately, it has not been accepted at this time. The reason left by Dr vulpes was:

This submission is not adequately supported by reliable sources. Reliable sources are required so that information can be verified. If you need help with referencing, please see Referencing for beginners and Citing sources.

The comment the reviewer left was:

The article does pass WP:NPROF but just barely. There are a lot of statements that need in-line citations. This is a biography of a living person so I prefer that statements about this person have citations to support them. I just don't want all your hard work to get removed later so don't be discouraged. As a sidenote is Dr. Shah your Dissertation Committee Chair?

Thank you so much for letting me know. I will revise the draft based on your feedback. Although Dr. Shah is not my dissertation committee chair; he has advised me in my research. I firmly believe that a person so well-known in the field of concrete science should have a Wikipedia page. I hope to prepare a draft that meets your standards for acceptance. 64.189.5.17 (talk) 02:28, 17 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Please note, I accepted the draft. It still has a few things where sources would help, I have mentioned a couple on the article talk page. Depending upon the level of his advice you should add a mention of this to your user page. Ldm1954 (talk) 12:49, 20 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you very much for your help and guidance. I will look at the article talk page and add sources. I noticed that the picture near the introduction is not showing up, and just mentions the file name instead of the image. Is it an error from my side or is it pending some approval before being published on the site? Could you please guide me on this? Thanks! Rohitashvasingh (talk) 14:15, 20 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

My apologies, the issue with image is resolved. I uploaded the file and inserted it to the page. I will continue to add more sources. Thank you! Rohitashvasingh (talk) 14:43, 20 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

OK. Some suggestions:

Use the scientist infobox scientist (as {{Infobox scientist}}) rather than an image
Much of the first paragraph is either his education or his career -- move to those and don't repeat.
Make the first paragraph just a brief introduction, it does not have to be more than 2-3 sentences. It is what we call the "lede".
Please look at MOS:BLP, and also a few other scientists.
