Proposed deletion of Jayan Nandagopan


The article Jayan Nandagopan has been proposed for deletion because it appears to have no references. Under Wikipedia policy, this biography of a living person will be deleted unless it has at least one reference to a reliable source that directly supports material in the article.

If you created the article, please don't be offended. Instead, consider improving the article. For help on inserting references, see Referencing for beginners, or ask at the help desk. Once you have provided at least one reliable source, you may remove the prod blp tag. Please do not remove the tag unless the article is sourced. If you cannot provide such a source within seven days, the article may be deleted, but you can when you are ready to add one. Jimfbleak - talk to me?  05:59, 19 April 2016 (UTC)

I made these edits You can remove prod tags (but not speedy deletion tags) yourself once you have fixed the problem. I think on the evidence you give there are doubts whether he meets the notability guidelines. It is now Wikipedia policy that biographical articles about living people must have independent verifiable references, as defined in the link, or they will be deleted, which is why the article was prodded. Sources that are not acceptable include those linked to himy, social media and other sites that can be self-edited, blogs, websites of unknown or non-reliable provenance, and sites that are just reporting what the he claims or interviewing his management. I think you need a least one more good third-party reference.

Take care to avoid vague or weaselly phrases such as "many performance" or "world famous", you need to concentrate on verifiable facts, not opinions. You must use neutral language and write in your own words. Let me know if you have any queries about my edits or anything else, Jimfbleak - talk to me?  15:47, 19 April 2016 (UTC)

File source and copyright licensing problem with File:Dumainev3.jpg
Thanks for uploading File:Dumainev3.jpg. However, it currently is missing information on its copyright status and its source. Wikipedia takes copyright very seriously.

If you obtained it from a website, please add a link to the page from which it was taken, together with a brief restatement of the website's terms of use of its content. If the original copyright holder is a party unaffiliated with the website, that author should also be credited. You will also need to state under what licensing terms it was released. Please refer to the image use policy to learn what files you can or cannot upload on Wikipedia. The page on copyright tags may help you to find the correct tag to use for your file.

Please add this information by editing the image description page. If the necessary information is not added within the next seven days, the image will be deleted. If the file is already gone, you can still make a request for undeletion and ask for a chance to fix the problem.

Please also check any other files you may have uploaded to make sure they are correctly tagged. Here is [ a list of your uploads]. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. ShakespeareFan00 (talk) 11:08, 21 March 2018 (UTC)
