V Aravind Subramanyam moved to draftspace

An article you recently created, V Aravind Subramanyam, does not have enough sources and citations as written to remain published. It needs more citations from reliable, independent sources. (?) Information that can't be referenced should be removed (verifiability is of central importance on Wikipedia). I've moved your draft to draftspace (with a prefix of "Draft:" before the article title) where you can incubate the article with minimal disruption. When you feel the article meets Wikipedia's general notability guideline and thus is ready for mainspace, please click on the "Submit your draft for review!" button at the top of the page.

And in the interview of sinu Joseph, she mentions his work on shat chakras(Ayyapan) Hindu Tamil, had interviewed him regarding the entry of women, Shabarimala. So added that also up.

Hello, I'm Deb. I wanted to let you know that one or more of your recent contributions have been undone because they appeared to be promotional. Advertising and using Wikipedia as a "soapbox" are against Wikipedia policy and not permitted; Wikipedia articles should be written objectively, using independent sources, and from a neutral perspective. Take a look at the welcome page to learn more about Wikipedia. Thank you.
Hello, Vasudharini. We welcome your contributions, but if you have an external relationship with the people, places or things you have written about on Wikipedia, you may have a conflict of interest (COI). Editors with a conflict of interest may be unduly influenced by their connection to the topic. See the conflict of interest guideline and FAQ for organizations for more information. We ask that you:

• avoid editing or creating articles about yourself, your family, friends, colleagues, company, organization or competitors;
• propose changes on the talk pages of affected articles (you can use the {{request edit}} template);

What is your connection with the subject of this article? Deb (talk) 14:07, 8 November 2020 (UTC)

Probably you can say, that after meeting him, after reading his books, my perspective about Shabarimala and the diety shastha changed. From then on, I have been following him in social media's, interviews and things like that. And I have been friends. That's all. Vasudharini (talk) 14:37, 8 November 2020 (UTC)

Friends, like my inspiration. I first read his book in 2012,the book was released in 2009, Immediately I wanted to create the article and I saw that someone had already done and the same was in articles of creation page and was rejected for notability.

Then in 2012, when I got the archives of the journals online and the interview online, I tried to create it. But that was declined. Until then I was following his journals in magazines such as Bakthi, ananada vikatan and Hindu.

Later, I observed that shastha is a diety who is connected with Ayyapa,this research is something unique and I wanted the Indian world to know the importance of this unique lord which also has a connection with Mt. Sastha.

The case came about in 2017,and I tried to contact him as he was in the media giving clarification with regard to why women should not enter the shrine. It was insightful.

The UNIndia article, which says he released book on this women entry was written by a lady advocating for the case of Shabarimala. That author Ms. SINU JOSEPHs book on it was a inspiration from Mr. ARAVIND. this even happened in Delhi in 2018 and that's when I who happened to be in the same auditorium spoke to him and started taking him as an Inspiration, collected his number to know details about him.

Beyond the fact, that he has been so many youngsters who go to Shabarimalas inspiration. There is no personal / professional relationship. Vasudharini (talk) 15:17, 8 November 2020 (UTC)

If he is a friend of yours, you have a conflict of interest, and you should not write about him. Deb (talk) 16:56, 8 November 2020 (UTC)

That's what I already told u, what kind of relationship I maintain.. And why I am eligible to write, more of a fan girl and being my inspiration. I have already explained.

Can u please clarify, which article shows that its being promotional? Vasudharini (talk) 17:02, 8 November 2020 (UTC)

I don't at any cost have any conflict of interest sir.

How else do you want me th o prove it? Vasudharini (talk) 17:04, 8 November 2020 (UTC)

I have written the details of how I knew him, and through which event I interacted. Vasudharini (talk) 17:06, 8 November 2020 (UTC)

• Your editing history makes it clear that a major focus of your editing is a desire to promote your views on certain matters, and especially on one person. Your comments above confirm that: you say that you "wanted the Indian world to know the importance of this unique lord", which makes it perfectly clear that you are editing for the purpose of publicising a person, and that your intention is not to present that person from a neutral point of view, as required by Wikipedia policy, but to extol and promote that person. Your use of the word "fan" adds further confirmation. Wikipedia seeks to present topics from the point of view of a neutral, uninvolved, observer, not from the point of view of a "fan". You may have originally come to Wikipedia sincerely believing that such editing to publicise and promote a person whom you admire would be acceptable, but you have now received several messages making it clear that it isn't. Almost all of us, when we start editing Wikipedia, know little or nothing about Wikipedia's policies and guidelines, so nobody can be blamed for starting out doing things that are contrary to policies and guidelines that they don't know about. However, continuing to do the same things after being told about the relevant policies and guidelines is a different matter. You are very welcome to continue contributing to Wikipedia in a neutral way, without praising, lauding, extolling or in any other way promoting anyone or anything, in ways which comply with Wikipedia policies and guidelines if you would like to. However, if your only interest is in telling the world your view about the "importance" of someone whom you regard as a "unique lord", or to do any other kind of promotion, then there are many web sites where you can do so, but Wikipedia is not one of them. Please do take note of this, because if you continue in the same way there is a high likelihood that you will be blocked from editing by an administrator. JBW (talk) 17:07, 8 November 2020 (UTC)

• Incidentally, Deb is not "sir". JBW (talk) 17:09, 8 November 2020 (UTC)

Unique lord is Shastha, the diety, not him. Can u please go through properly.

Ayyapa of Shabarimala is equivalent Lord Shastha, yes I want the world to know about the diety, as the case has heated up the beleif of a lot of Hindus and even Article 26 of the Indian Penal code.

Its ok if I am blocked for saying what my conscious says it right. I have no intention to publisicise something which is nothing.

I dint see, the details of the person whom I was communicating. Sorry Vasudharini (talk) 17:12, 8 November 2020 (UTC)

And please don't equate a mere human to Lord Ayyapa or Shastha! He is eternal, the person Aravind is probably just a spec who knows a little more than a common man who knows about Swamy Ayyapa as his research in on that. Vasudharini (talk) 17:15, 8 November 2020 (UTC)

Thanks for taking your time to reply, I understand what "Wikipedia" is. Vasudharini (talk) 17:16, 8 November 2020 (UTC)

Frankly I couldn't care less whether your stuff about a "unique lord" refers to a person, a "god", a giraffe, or a loaf of bread. What matters is that you have been editing for the purpose of publicising and promulgating your views. That is unacceptable, no matter what those views are. If you don't understand that, then no you don't know what Wikipedia is, because that is one of the absolutely fundamental pillars of what Wikipedia is. JBW (talk) 17:27, 8 November 2020 (UTC)

I have been editing, to just ensure that the person gets a space in Wikipedia because he deserves to be so. If it is considered that way, fine, I tried my best. May be someday, if not me, some other person would do it with further citations. It is absolutely OK.

Well if you don't care, then you cannot write about what my views are about. If you want to comment on something that I wrote, then I think, it is to be read properly. I very much know what "Wikipedia" s, I have been trying to only discuss and understand to better it. There is nothing beyond that. If you are willing to help. Thanks. If you are criticising and badmouthing I shall also reply that way. Vasudharini (talk) 17:35, 8 November 2020 (UTC)

Now my worry drops, so it seems like I have been trying to get a encyclopedic content, in a place of editors who do not know the subject at all!.

I edit and comment only on the stuff I am aware of fully. Vasudharini (talk) 17:38, 8 November 2020 (UTC)

You say "If you are willing to help". That is exactly what I have been trying to do. However, helping does not necessarily mean saying what you wish to hear; encouraging you to carry on in a way which will lead to failure is not helping you, but explaining why it will not be accepted, so that you can avoid following that path to failure can be helping, if you are willing to see it as helping, and think about how to benefit from that advice. Here is my last attempt to help you to understand what the issues are. I do hope it will help, as I did when I posted my previous attempts to help you, but if I fail again then I'll leave it at that.

• You said "Well if you don't care, then you cannot write about what my views are about". The whole point that I was trying to make was that I don't need to write about what your views are, or even to know what they are, because what your views are is utterly irrelevant: writing to promote or promulgate any views is unacceptable.
• You said that your aim was "to just ensure that the person gets a space in Wikipedia because he deserves to be so". The point there is that editing in order to ensure that a person gets coverage in Wikipedia because your view is that they "deserve" such coverage is contrary to the whole purpose of Wikipedia: we seek to provide information about a topic because it already has substantial coverage in multiple reliable independent sources, not because we think that a person "deserves" coverage, which is editing to promote or publicise.
• You refer to "criticising and badmouthing". Certainly if you are making mistakes then pointing out those mistakes in the hope of helping you avoid making the same mistakes again may be called criticising; if so it is constructive criticism. Criticism is not always a bad thing. As for "badmouthing", Wiktionary says it means "To criticize or malign, especially unfairly or spitefully". I can offer you my assurance (which you can accept or reject) that it was not spiteful; I have far better things to do with my time than composing, writing, and revising messages to Wikipedia editors in order to spite them. As I have already indicated, it has all been done in the hope of being helpful to you. If I have failed in that attempt then that is unfortunate, but not spiteful. As for "unfairly", I have simply tried to let you know what Wikipedia policies and guidelines require. I don't see how doing that can be regarded as unfair, but if there is some justification for viewing it that way then you are welcome to explain it to me.

As I have already said, I hope this may help you, but if not then please accept that it was a good faith attempt to help. JBW (talk) 20:42, 8 November 2020 (UTC)

This helps, The words, I don't care what it means, gave me a different meaning initially, thank you for clarifying.

"Substantial Coverage", What is Wikipedia looking at, when we mean, substantial coverage? Because, I had cited many references with regard to his articles being awarded a special prize. ( The Hindu, Personality of the week). He being invited for a book launch (in the capital along with the current party spokes person, and the article referred him as a researcher who is well versed in the practices of Shabarimala. A reference with regard to another book, where his blogs where inspiration, I had shared that news log which had come."UNIndia"

Then apart from these, I had given reference to his detailed answers in this subject as a question answer format in Ananda Vikatan and dinamalar which are popular dailies, in which he had featured. (His photo, his achievements and why he is eligible to answer them was mentioned.)"vikatanmag" and "Dinamalar"

Then there was a magazine by name swarajyamag.com, it is very popular, but Wikipedia had blocked them I couldn't cite it.

Then I had given references to where he was invited to speak about the diety along with eminent speakers who also have a Wikipedia page, This was due to his popularity, he was invited. I had cited that. "Sirfnews" and simplicity coimbatore in which, the apparent heirs of the temple had quoted him for reference.

Apart from this, His research work and the articles he had written and which was circulated had been shared for reference, when I mentioned the particular research clarification.

These citations are media citation, which is very popular.

I am writing in detail, because I don't understand what and how else a person's popularity is perceived? How else do u improve the citations? What is required?

When the main article was deleted, I wrote it again in drafts, so that I can improve it. Nothing to promote my views. It is irrelevant and I have no personal interest in doing that. If someone can tell me how each news bit and citation will qualify and disqualify, It would be grateful for gaining that knowledge in my future articles..

The first edit, I did was a mistake, because I had copied the profile which was in another website about the author. Which had direct links of his achievements. It is some researchers domain website. Which carries profiles of researchers. That was cited for deletion for being copied. That is when I kept editing it in my own words adding all media references.

I only edit in subjects I am fully aware of, so with that thought, I had always wanted a clear reply with regard to what each citation meant and what was considered and why it was considered wrong. I had posted in everyone who tried edit, the talk page asking for what and how it needs to be improved, why the references I cited were not enough, what was the mistake, unfortunately no one gave me a reply, I kept re doing in the view of it being re viewed by another person who would be able to guide me better.

Thank you so much for taking this much time to reply to me, I appreciate your efforts and time taken to clarify. I shall write out better articles in future with the guidance you have given.

I would be very happy if the article references that I had done for this previous article is read and given a better clarification on what was lacking in the references cited, because I read the Wikipedia space before reading and submitting the page for approval. I had asked a few members, they told me, if u feel it is qualifing, you can go ahead and submit it. That's what I kept doing, may be that's a mistake, I sincerely apologize and will try to keep up the standards. But I also sincerely request the editors to point out the lacking in the article for better understanding. Vasudharini (talk) 02:14, 9 November 2020 (UTC)
