This article must adhere to the biographies of living persons (BLP) policy, even if it is not a biography, because it contains material about living persons. Contentious material about living persons that is unsourced or poorly sourced must be removed immediately from the article and its talk page, especially if potentially libellous. If such material is repeatedly inserted, or if you have other concerns, please report the issue to this noticeboard.

If you are a subject of this article, or acting on behalf of one, and you need help, please see this help page.

Request Edit - Conflict of interest disclosure

It is requested that an edit be made to the semi-protected article at R. (edit · history · last · links · protection log)

This template must be followed by a complete and specific description of the request, that is, specify what text should be removed and a verbatim copy of the text that should replace it. "Please change X" is not acceptable and will be rejected; the request must be of the form "please change X to Y".

The edit may be made by any autoconfirmed user. Remember to change the |answered=no parameter to "yes" when the request has been accepted, rejected or on hold awaiting user input. This is so that inactive or completed requests don't needlessly fill up the edit requests category. You may also wish to use the {{ESp}} template in the response. To request that a page be protected or unprotected, make a protection request.

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 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.

The Wikimedia Foundation's Terms of Use require that editors disclose their "employer, client, and affiliation" with respect to any paid contribution; see WP:PAID. For advice about reviewing paid contributions, see WP:COIRESPONSE.

DoshNomad (talk · contribs) has been paid by unknown on behalf of user:Sidwahi.
