Proposed deletion[edit]

The article was proposed for deletion because of WP:RS, lack of notability. I have added enough reference to suggest that the person is notable. The person has won a WHO award and has written 5 books. I have tried to,

added enough references to avoid controversies on notability
deleted contents that were promotional
added verifiable citations
tried to maintain neutral point of view(I think I have)

If you find anything wrong in my edits, please do revert it. I am removing the maintenance tag and the deletion tag, as I believe the matter has been resolved. Shriram ^Talk 05:13, 17 February 2014 (UTC)[reply]

While I too hope we have done enough to avoid deletion, I hope I haven't overstepped the mark by providing links to book-selling sites. Is that considered promotional? Please revert if so!--Graham Proud (talk) 08:28, 24 February 2014 (UTC)[reply]

I think its promotional, so removed it. Don't worry, feel free to express your views. Shriram ^Talk 14:55, 24 February 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Please explain? Amazon is promo but Barnes and Noble not? They are both book-selling sites. I am still learning the ropes, so please educate me!--Graham Proud (talk) 15:01, 24 February 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Sorry didn't notice. Shriram ^Talk 15:29, 24 February 2014 (UTC)[reply]
