Hi, thanks for message. Please don't delete other people's messages when you post on a talk page, add your message underneath. I deleted your article because
 * it did not provide adequate independent verifiable sources to enable us to verify the facts and show that you meet 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. Sources that are not acceptable include those linked to you, press releases, 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 you claims or interviewing you. Although you gave many references most were unacceptable (interviews with you) irrelevant (reviews of your books) or didn't adequately support the claim (it's not enough for a reviewer to describe your book as "bestseller", you needs sales figures or its position in national sales chart).
 * Having written one book doesn't make you notable, so it's important that you find good sources to establish facts that show that you might be. The top ten at airports might do, although I'd prefer a more direct source rather than hearsay. The India New England News might do, although I wouldn't describe it as "Several prominent media" when it's one publication
 * More to the point, it was written in a promotional tone. Articles must be neutral and encyclopaedic. Instead of writing about yourself, you have instead written about your books in a promotional way with lengthy plot descriptions, and, worse many self-selected positive reviews. The article isn't about your books and shouldn't have any reviews, let alone ones as self-serving as these. Your "Career" section was largely selective praise for your own books, not facts about you
 * You have an obvious conflict of interest and you must declare it. If, after reading the information about notability linked above, you still believe that you are notable enough for a Wikipedia article (and that there is significant coverage in reliable, independent secondary sources), you could, if you wish, post a request at Requested articles for the article to be created. See also guidance for editors with conflicts of interest and writing about yourself.
 * Two points not related to deletion. Note that references should follow punctuation, and you don't needs refs for book titles in the bibliography, the ISBN is enough.

I'm prepared to restore the deleted text as a draft to work on, although I'll remove the promotional text. You will first need to make sure you meet the notability criteria linked above, and check that you can find independent third party sources to verify your claims. Also read this guidance.

At some stage any article you or your associates create about yourself will be tagged as an Autobiography. If you want to proceed with editing a restored draft, let me know Jimfbleak - talk to me?  13:08, 2 August 2017 (UTC)

Hi Jim,

Thanks for the detailed response. I totally see your point. In the light of all this information, it's probably a better idea to wait till there are more independent verifiable references available before requesting for an article to be created. Appreciate the guidance.
