It was mentioned that I should quote credible sources. I have done so. Most of the citations are of major newspapers in India (national) and also an Indian government site. I have cited "independent, reliable, published" sources. Therefore I do not understand the reason for the rejection. The article is neutral. I am not connected in any way with the PILF. I know that an article on the PILF was rejected the first time it was put up but I have neither read that article nor know whoever put it up. I came to Wikipedia to add an entry as a concerned Pune citizen and it was promptly deleted, much to my surprise. I am wondering why a literary festival of an important city like Pune is not represented in the wikipedia. I feel the review is unfair, considering the other literary festivals that had been mentioned. I want to know, does Wikipedia think of Pune as an unimportant city, is that why the article is rejected? Or is there a limit on the number of literary festivals from a particular state? Or do you consider that national newspapers of India are not reliable sources? If it is any or all of the above, then the rejection seems logical, but I need a reason. Please give me a specific reason. I think I am entitled to it.

Okay, I get your point. But the truth is that there are other literary festivals which have similar sources. If a reputed newspaper publishes a press release it is authentic. To discount a press release in a national Indian newspaper as an unreliable source is very surprising. Also, I highly doubt that all of these citations were press releases. I do not know where you got this erroneous information from. It is very likely that a reporter was actually present. You cannot assume it is a press release. It is not too difficult to get a reporter to cover events inaugurated by world-famous people. Reporters flock to these type of events. And yes I feel strongly about this, otherwise, I would not have taken the trouble to write an article on the wikipedia about PILF. Pune is my city and wikipedia is being unfair. Anyone would feel bad if they are being targeted unjustly. I wrote that article in a neutral manner and wikipedia is being most unjust. I cannot fathom the reason, not yet.

I am wondering why it got rejected. Filmfannn13 ( talk) 19:55, 12 August 2019 (UTC)
I have added notability/sources. If there needs to be more sources, I can find some. Filmfannn13 ( talk) 20:00, 12 August 2019 (UTC)
