Your edits at Territorial Army (India)

Hi Maratawarrior. I have been forced to place extended confirmed protection on this article to prevent your edit-warring to include Muthukrishnan Iyyappan on the list of notable members. If the person does not have a Wikipedia article, they are not sufficiently notable for inclusion on the list of notable members. You have been directed to participate in the discussion on the article's talk page, and I suggest you do so. Further edit-warring about this will inevitably result in a block of your account. Regards, Fish+Karate 13:19, 6 August 2018 (UTC)

Dear Fish+Karate...I have very clearly mentioned and clarified the references for the content in question. There is no biographic information about the mentioned officer, Muthukrishnan Iyyappan. Only those which are directly in relation to his contribution to Territorial Army was mentioned. As a Territorial Army officer myself, I can vouch that these contents are true. Also, inline citation also give those information. I am not sure why a specific editor is so insistent on deleting this material just because he felt that this officer's contribution is not noteworthy. I would encourage you to go through the content and the citations / reference given to judge for yourself if the activities are noteworthy or not. Thank you.

Proposed deletion of Capt Muthukrishnan Iyyappan

The article Capt Muthukrishnan Iyyappan has been proposed for deletion because of the following concern:

Fails WP:NOTABILITY. I noticed that out of the 6 references listed only 1 has a passing mention of the subject and that source is Quora.com. I doubt if it counts.

While all constructive contributions to Wikipedia are appreciated, pages may be deleted for any of several reasons.

You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the {{proposed deletion/dated}} notice, but please explain why in your edit summary or on the article's talk page.

Please consider improving the page to address the issues raised. Removing {{proposed deletion/dated}} will stop the proposed deletion process, but other deletion processes exist. In particular, the speedy deletion process can result in deletion without discussion, and articles for deletion allows discussion to reach consensus for deletion.
