• Comment: Previous reviewer comments not acted upon. ChrysGalley (talk) 11:59, 26 March 2026 (UTC)

• Comment: This draft cannot have links to Wikipedia WP:CIRCULAR or to sources like IMDb, see WP:RSP.
  If the subject truly is notable just stick to three good examples from reliable sources, such as The Hindu, but they need to be in significant depth to carry the text of the draft, which is not the case here.
  You also cannot use direct URLs within the text of the article.
  It is by no means clear that this subject is notable under the definition. ChrysGalley (talk) 10:59, 24 March 2026 (UTC)

• Comment: See the concerns raised in Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Deepak Menon. See also Wikipedia:Autobiographies. Thank you. Bobby Cohn 🍁 (talk) 14:05, 19 March 2026 (UTC)
