 * Symbol question.svg The article is new and at 5000 characters is well over the 1500 requirement. The hook is sourced to a book and I was able to confirm the fact presented to that book through Google's book service, which is linked. The hook is interesting and relevant. I spot checked some sentences for plagiarism and I think this is original content written for Wikipedia. The article presents its subject matter in a neutral manner.
 * Some of the biographical statements made in this article are without citations and not tied to the nearest following citation. I would like to see a citation after every sentence here, starting with "Shridharani was born in..." and going on through everything. If the same source is cited repeatedly then that is fine. If those citations are added then I would approve this nomination. If those citations cannot be found then adding Template:Fact would be enough for now.

 * Thanks for quick review. I added citation at the end of paragraph in the most of the para as majority of text is based on ref3 and ref4. Ref4 is in Gujarati language which verifies info which is not in ref3. Ref4 is short biography published by Gujarati Sahitya Parishad, a literary organization, on its website. Some info is translated from Gujarati Wikipedia of same topic. Regards, -Nizil (talk) 13:11, 4 September 2014 (UTC)
 * The first two paragraphs were my major concern. The first one uses references 1 and 2, but the information presented does not seem to come from those sources. For the second paragraph you cite both 3 and 4. Could you look at that one again, and apply either 3, 4, or both to all of the sentences in that paragraph so there is never doubt about the sources of the information? It is no problem that it is from a Gujarati source but please make the source clear. Thanks.  Blue Rasberry   (talk)  13:30, 4 September 2014 (UTC)
 * Oops, sorry. I messed up. Ref1 is for "James Pratt", ref2 for "lasting impression" claim. Ref3 & ref4 supports all other info in para1 and Para2. I have placed ref3/4 after first para. I will soon post QPQ too. Thanks and sorry again for trouble :) -Nizil (talk) 17:44, 4 September 2014 (UTC)
 * Symbol confirmed.svg I added citations after every sentence following your guidance. I think this article is ready to share now.  Blue Rasberry   (talk)  18:10, 4 September 2014 (UTC)
 * Thank you. I still think repeating ref after each sentence is not necessary, ref at the end of para is enough. But its OK if u like otherwise.-Nizil (talk) 19:36, 5 September 2014 (UTC)
