The two nominations for deletion that you started were not properly formatted. I have fixed the formatting and completed the process in this instance, but in future please take greater care and read and follow the instructions listed here. It also appears that you put up these pages for deletion in retaliation for an article you have edited being so nominated. Please read WP:POINT and don't indulge in such disruptive editing from now on. Abecedare ( talk) 09:23, 29 October 2013 (UTC)
Yet again, you are adding poor sources to Rashmi Singh (author). How many more times must you be told this? Worse still, the source added here does even even say what you claim. You could mention that she got a potted plant from the school (please don't!) but not that she is a "motivator" - she was invited to open something, which is really no big deal at all. - Sitush ( talk) 13:02, 29 October 2013 (UTC)
Open something, raise a flag, tell the kids to keep up with their studies etc - it really doesn't matter which it might be. It is just the most inane trivia and has no place on Wikipedia. Local celebrities etc do such things, it aids their publicity agenda/keeps them in the limelight but really doesn't amount to anything of note (except perhaps for the kids, some of whom will remember her name for a couple of weeks). Just think how many shops some celebrities have opened, for example: do you really think that we should list them all? We are not an indiscriminate collection of facts.
The other concern with that particular contribution was that you cannot draw your own conclusion (that she is a "motivator"). There are indeed people who make a living from motivational speaking or who otherwise do it frequently & are known for it, but one swallow does not make a summer. - Sitush ( talk) 14:08, 29 October 2013 (UTC)
Plkease revert this. We do not link to Amazon, which is considered to be WP:LINKSPAM. All you have to do is add the correct ISBN. The ones that were in there and which I removed appeared to be invalid - they were not recognised by Google Books, Amazon or WorldCat. I really do think that you need to slow down and discuss things before adding them because you are making a right mess of this. - Sitush ( talk) 15:08, 29 October 2013 (UTC)
And why are u asking to revert the Economic Times link? She has been praised there for her work as a debut writer. Infact the more callous deletions you'll make- the more mess will be created. Don't go by 'appeared to be invalid' and delete ISBN's If you'll do this oviously we'll have to put in links to prove. Before deleting you could have also aked here, if it has alink on Amazon etc or not? Why straight away to deletions? Ananyaprasad ( talk) 15:37, 29 October 2013 (UTC)
Hello and welcome to Wikipedia. When you add content to talk pages and Wikipedia pages that have open discussion (but never when editing articles), please be sure to sign your posts. There are two ways to do this. Either:

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Wikipedia appreciates your help. We noticed though that when you edited The Untold Story of Arundhati and The Black Emperor, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Indian ( check to confirm | fix with Dab solver). Such links are almost always unintended, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of "Did you mean..." article titles. Read the FAQ • Join us at the DPL WikiProject.

Ananya,I can understand that you believe that you are having a difficult time here due to a few editors, but honestly the problems you are facing are primarily due to your contributions clashing with wikipedia policies on notability, quality sourcingand neutral presentation. And while it is fine in general to focus ones wikipedia editing on a topic of ones choice, if that topic is determined to be non-notable per wikipedia standards, then continuing to edit in that area is going to be very frustrating. And if you have any personal real-world or emotional involvement with that subject then the experience can be quite unpleasant (for example, if I were to write an article on my grandfather here on wikipedia, I would likely feel hurt and insulted to hear "random wikipedia editors" refer to him as non-notable and pooh-pooh the importance of his life's work and influence). So my recommendations to you are:
Hopefully these tips will make your editing experience more pleasant and fruitful. Cheers. Abecedare ( talk) 04:34, 4 November 2013 (UTC)
This was a good edit, and the type of contributions that you could focus on given your interest! As to your question regarding notability:
Wikipedia's article on Shobhaa De is in very poor state. So if you want to help improve it, your efforts are likely to be welcomed. These search links should help you get started, Find sources: Google ( books · news · scholar · free images · WP refs) · FENS · JSTOR · TWL. Abecedare ( talk) 06:45, 4 November 2013 (UTC)
