Draft:Sonal Parihar

  • Comment: After four declines over several months, there is still not a single source that is reliable and independent and secondary. The draft creator and a couple of other accounts working on the draft have been blocked for promotion and sockpuppetry. bonadea contributions talk 14:50, 1 June 2026 (UTC)
  • Comment: Not clear that this person is sufficiently notable for inclusion in Wikipedia. Appears to be notable for one event (WP:BIO1E); the Mrs Earth award is not a notable achievement. IMDb is not a reliable source for Wikipedia - all the other citations refer to the Mrs Earth achievement (PR/marketing driven - primary, not independent). Draft appears to be penned by the subject (WP:COI), and the included image may be a breach of copyright (appears to be a professional portrait of Parihar that somehow was also taken by Parihar) Paul W (talk) 16:32, 22 February 2026 (UTC)
  • Comment: Since this is about a living person, please have each claim supported by a source! GGOTCC 02:58, 16 February 2026 (UTC)
