Talk:Balram Shukla

Unreliable sources
I see that you have added unreliable material in Balram Shukla, where an assistant professor in the Department of Sanskrit, University of Delhi—who was appointed in May 2014, who has two full professors, nine associate professors, not to mention seven (of other 11) assistant professors, who are senior to him—has been double promoted to professorship both in the lead and the infobox by citing Sanskrit-language or other-language sources. (Not saying it is your error, but the sources, if they are saying that, are unreliable.) None of the other faculty, not the seven more senior assistant professors, not the nine associate professors, not even the two full professors, have Wikipedia pages. Wikipedia is not a last resting place of every honor that any human being has ever received. The world over, there are all sorts of magazines that report on a "local boy or girl makes good" story. We can't scrape the bottom of every barrel and stuff it here. Fowler&amp;fowler «Talk»  16:59, 6 April 2017 (UTC)
 * I obviously neither have the time nor the inclination to play watchdog on Wikipedia. But if you continue to create such pages, you may or may not be doing a service to the subjects of the article, but you are doing a disservice to Wikipedia.   I have shown in a series of edits, which I later undid, that there is very little on that page that is reliably sourced.  Best regards,  Fowler&amp;fowler  «Talk»  18:29, 6 April 2017 (UTC)
 * Sorry for the late reply, I am not that active on WP. Let me check again what the sources say, they may not have explicitly said "assistant professor". As for why I thought he is worthy of an article: the Maharshi Badrayan Vyas Samman is a notable award. It is awarded only to three or four people every year by the President of India. I do not know if other professors (full/associate/assistant) at DU have been awarded it. Akhandprasad (talk) 09:37, 24 April 2017 (UTC)
