Submission declined on 24 February 2026 by RangersRus (talk). This draft's references do not show that the person meets Wikipedia's criteria for inclusion for people. The draft requires multiple published secondary sources that: provide significant coverage: discuss the person in detail, not brief mentions or interviews lacking independent analysis; are reliable: from reputable outlets with editorial oversight; are independent: not connected to the person, such as interviews, press releases, the subject's own website, or sponsored content. Please add references that meet all three of these criteria. If none exist, the subject is not yet suitable for Wikipedia. If you would like to continue working on the submission, click on the "Edit" tab at the top of the window. If you have not resolved the issues listed above, your draft will be declined again and potentially deleted.

Submission declined on 23 February 2026 by Bonadea (talk). This draft is not adequately supported by reliable sources. Wikipedia's verifiability policy requires that all content be supported by reliable sources. Reliable sources include: reputable newspapers, magazines, academic journals, and books from respected publishers. Unacceptable sources include: personal blogs, social media, predatory publishers, most tabloids, and websites where anyone can contribute. Replace any unreliable sources with high-quality sources. If you cannot find a reliable source for the material, it should be removed. Declined by Bonadea 31 days ago.

• Comment: He appears to be notable, but the draft is not ready to become an article.
  First, three of the sources are inappropriate: Amazon and exoticindiaart are sales websites which can't be used as sources, and the Journal of Emerging Technologies and Innovative Research is a predatory journal that is considered to be generally unreliable.
  Second, don't tell the reader that "His work has been referred to in discussions on Santali literature and contemporary tribal writing" – instead, read the discussions, and summarise some of the things they say about his work in your own words (do not use an AI, please!) That some unspecified discussion has referred to him is not very informative. The readers (including the reviewer) want to know what was said! bonadea contributions talk 19:52, 23 February 2026 (UTC)
