Hello Vthykkut. The nature of your edits gives the impression you have an undisclosed financial stake in promoting a topic, but you have not complied with Wikipedia's mandatory paid editing disclosure requirements. Paid advocacy is a category of conflict of interest (COI) editing that involves being compensated by a person, group, company or organization to use Wikipedia to promote their interests. Undisclosed paid advocacy is prohibited by our policies on neutral point of view and what Wikipedia is not, and is an especially serious type of COI; the Wikimedia Foundation regards it as a "black hat" practice akin to black-hat search-engine optimization.

Paid advocates are strongly discouraged from direct article editing, and should instead propose changes on the talk page of the article in question if an article exists. If the article does not exist, paid advocates are strongly discouraged from attempting to write an article at all. At best, any proposed article creation should be submitted through the articles for creation process, rather than directly.

Regardless, if you are receiving or expect to receive compensation for your edits, broadly construed, you are  required by the Wikimedia Terms of Use to disclose your employer, client and affiliation. You can post such a mandatory disclosure to your user page at User:Vthykkut. The template Paid can be used for this purpose – e.g. in the form:. If I am mistaken – you are not being directly or indirectly compensated for your edits – please state that in response to this message. Otherwise, please provide the required disclosure. In either case, do not edit further until you answer this message. I see that you declared a COI, the paid disclosure requirement is stricter. 331dot (talk) 10:16, 8 December 2023 (UTC)


 * Hello 331dot- I am not directly or indirectly compensated to create this Wiki article about Vaisakh Shankar. He and I did our B.Tech together in National Institute of Technology, Calicut and we graduated together in 2005. His IMDB page here https://www.imdb.com/name/nm10842599/ talks about his engagements in films and TV web series. See his Insta here: https://www.instagram.com/vaisakh_shankar/
 * I am new to Wikipedia creations so I apologize for missing the references. I am doing my best to provide accurate context for Vaisakh's article. Vthykkut (talk) 10:31, 8 December 2023 (UTC)
 * Thanks for clarifying the nature of your COI. 331dot (talk) 10:49, 8 December 2023 (UTC)
 * Is Vaisakh Shankar's page worth pursuing at this time? Any guidance is much appreciated! Vthykkut (talk) 19:12, 8 December 2023 (UTC)
 * Only you can decide if it is worth pursuing- but you will need to find independent reliable sources with significant coverage of this person- not just sources documenting his work, but that are about him and discuss what makes him important/significant/influential- how he meets either the narrow definition of a notable actor or the broader definition of a notable person. If you don't think that it is likely that such sources exist, then probably it's not worth pursuing at this time. That doesn't mean forever- just not now. If you think sources will exist in the future, you can just keep the draft active(drafts are marked for deletion after six months of inactivity) so that you can rewrite it to summarize those sources. 331dot (talk) 20:27, 8 December 2023 (UTC)
 * Such sources cannot include interviews, as those are not independent. Interviews can be used for other purposes, but not to establish notability. 331dot (talk) 20:28, 8 December 2023 (UTC)
