Shekatkar draft

I saw that you were asking on IRC channel #wikipedia-en-help about why your draft has not been published. The first problem is that you never submitted it for review. I've added an articles for creation template that will make it a bit easier for you to submit it when it's ready. Don't click on that submit button yet! Your draft is seriously lacking in several dimensions. First, it is essentially hagiography, written to praise its subject rather than to objectively give their biography. Second, it is seriously lacking in sources – inline citations are required for essentially every statement you make about Shekatkar. I think it's likely that you can show Shekatkar is notable, but I haven't personally gone through every reference to verify that they are sufficient for this purpose. — jmcgnh^{(talk) (contribs)} 23:50, 28 July 2020 (UTC)

Your draft article, Draft:Lt. Gen. (Dr) D.B. Shekatkar

Hello, Gaurang777. It has been over six months since you last edited the Articles for Creation submission or Draft page you started, "Lt. Gen. (Dr) D.B. Shekatkar".

In accordance with our policy that Wikipedia is not for the indefinite hosting of material deemed unsuitable for the encyclopedia mainspace, the draft has been nominated for deletion. If you plan on working on it further, or editing it to address the issues raised if it was declined, simply and remove the {{db-afc}}, {{db-draft}}, or {{db-g13}} code.

If your submission has already been deleted by the time you get there, and you wish to retrieve it, you can request its undeletion by following the instructions at this link. An administrator will, in most cases, restore the submission so you can continue to work on it.

Thank you for your submission to Wikipedia! UnitedStatesian (talk) 19:42, 12 February 2021 (UTC)
