Hi, thanks for message. I'll comment on your sandbox version.

  • We need independent verifiable sources to enable us to verify the facts and show that he meets the notability guidelines. Sources that are not acceptable include those linked to the company, 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 company claims or interviewing its management. You gave references but they are not in-line, so we don't know what facts each supports. Put your references in the the text following the fact each supports using <ref>Your reference</ref>. Then {{reflist}} at the end will automatically generate a numbered list. If you have sources with weblinks use <ref>[url description]</ref> for those refs. it could be a problem if there are no good references as defined above on the internet, since your sources are not otherwise easy to check.
  • it was written in a promotional tone. Articles must be neutral and encyclopaedic. Examples of unsourced claims presented as fact include: served the cause of development of the Tamil language... above all a patriot... renowned Tamil scholar... A versatile writer and eloquent speaker, a translator par excellence, he has received accolades from celebrities...— and so on. The whole tone is of a hagiograpghy rather than a neutral encyclopaedia article.
  • the article was created in a single edit without wikilinks or references, and looks as if was copied from an unknown and possibly copyrighted source. Copyrighted text is not allowed in Wikipedia, as outlined in this policy. That applies even to pages created by you or your organisation, unless they state clearly and explicitly that the text is public domain. There are ways to donate copyrighted text to Wikipedia, as described here; please note that simply asserting on the talk page that you are the owner of the copyright, or you have permission to use the text, isn't sufficient.

If you have a conflict of interest when editing this article, you must declare it.

It's not the worse I've seen, and he seems to be notable. I suggest that you look at biographies such as Pamela C. Rasmussen to get an idea of layout and referencing. You don't have to use the fancy reference templates. Let me know if you need any help, or if you want me to comment in your draft at a later stage.

Hello, Nalamvirumbi. Some time ago, a file you uploaded — File:Profile picture of Ma.Ko.jpg — was tagged with {{OTRS pending}}, indicating that you (or perhaps the copyright holder if you did not create this image) submitted a statement of permission to permissions-en@wikimedia.org. Though there is often a backlog processing messages received at this address, we should have received your message by now.

  • If you have not submitted (or forwarded) a statement of permission, please send it immediately to permissions-en@wikimedia.org and let us know at the OTRS noticeboard that you have done so.
  • If you have already sent this message, it is possible that there was a problem receiving it. Please re-send it to permissions-en@wikimedia.org and let us know at the OTRS noticeboard that you have done so.

If we don't hear from you within one week, the file will be deleted. If we can help you, please feel free to ask at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. --B-bot (talk) 14:41, 13 October 2015 (UTC)Reply
