• : The article is long and new enough and has no apparent copyvios. It's also well refed and well written, however, I made some tweaks to make it more encyclopedic. The image is free and comes with a proper license. ALT2 is more interesting than other suggestions, in my viewpoint. However, there are some issues which need to be fixed. First, the article relies mainly on one source and the nominator should try to add some more materials using other sources, preferably non-Indian ones. ALT2 is not really cited in the article body. We need to reassure that she was awarded for "her service over 70 years by performing more than 15,000 traditional deliveries ...". Another issue is that the infobox needs to be replaced by a more suitable one, the current one being an "Infobox Writer". -- Mhhossein ^talk 07:30, 2 April 2018 (UTC)

@Mhhossein Thanks for the review. I have sorted out issues pointed out by you,1)Single source issue--> Corrected this by adding new citations 2)ALT2 is cited with first reference in the article, which tells us on what basis they have given Padma Shri award, its being published by Governamant of India's official Padma awards website. 3)Infobox is replaced from 'Writer' to 'Person'. Please let me know in case of anything required. --Naveen N Kadalaveni 17:02, 2 April 2018 (UTC) — Preceding unsigned comment added by NaveenNkadalaveni (talk • contribs)

NaveenNkadalaveni: I would expect a link to the website itself, rather than to an image. --Mhhossein ^talk 18:13, 2 April 2018 (UTC)

@Mhhossein: Please check now, Website URL has been added in that article, instead of an image. Please do filter with the name Dr. Sulagiiti Narasamma in that website. --Naveen N Kadalaveni — Preceding unsigned comment added by NaveenNkadalaveni (talk • contribs) 04:02, 3 April 2018 (UTC)
