Hello,

I have created a draft article about an Indian author, but it has been declined three times due to concerns about notability and reliable sources.

I have added references from newspapers such as Dainik Bhaskar and Rajasthan Patrika, along with some other media coverage. However, I understand that the current sources may not be considered sufficient.

Could you please guide me on:

1. What type of sources would be considered strong enough for notability in this case?
2. Whether regional newspaper coverage is sufficient, or if national-level sources are required?
3. How I can improve the draft to meet Wikipedia’s guidelines for biographies?

Thank you for your time and guidance.

:Hello, @[[User:Creative ssr|Creative ssr]]. 
:Please see [[WP:golden rule|golden rule]] for information about the kinds of sources that are required. 
:Your user name suggests that you may be professionally involved in PR: if this is the case, please note that [[WP:paid editors|paid editors]] '''must''' make a formal declaration of that status. 
:My earnest advice to new editors is to not even ''think'' about  trying to create an article until you have spent several weeks - at least - learning about how Wikipedia works by making improvements to existing articles. Once you have understood core policies such as [[WP:verifiability|verifiability]], [[WP:neutral point of view|neutral point of view]], [[WP:42|reliable, independent sources]], and [[WP:notability|notability]], and experienced how we handle disagreements with other editors (the [[WP:BRD|Bold, Revert, Discuss]] cycle), then you might be ready to read [[WP:your first article|your first article]] carefully, and try creating a draft. If you don't follow this advice but try to create an article without this preparation, you are likely to have a frustrating and disappointing experience with Wikipedia.
