I am related to the subject of this article (Rakesh is my father). I had reached out to a creative writing company (Procreative Writers) in January 2020, to assist me in getting a page up on Wikipedia. I found the company by searching for the phrase, "How to get a page up on wikipedia". At the time I was not aware of the Wikipedia policies around paid edits or conflict of interest editing. I paid roughly $600 USD to the company and I am assuming [[User:DoshNomad]] was appointed by them to get the article up. On March 22nd [[User:MER-C|MER-C]] moved the article to drafts and tagged it as SPAM and added the paid edit banner. I now realize that I have violated Wikipedia policies, for which I apologize. I do believe that my father meets the notability requirement to have a biography on Wikipedia and has a number of (non-sponsored, or paid for) media sources that have been referenced. I'm requesting a complete edit of this article, so anything that seems promotional or is advertising be removed and edited from the article. If the consensus is that this does not meet the requirements, then let's delete the post. |
