Not denying notability, but 5 references are written by the subject. Also the Twitter feed of the subject does not qualify as reliable source.--RedmondKane (talk) 18:41, 31 December 2016 (UTC)Reply

Draft by subject

edit

The subject, User:Prernagupta1, has prepared a draft at Draft:Prerna Gupta that could be used to revise this article. See User talk:Missvain#Prerna Gupta. Fences&Windows 08:57, 19 September 2020 (UTC)Reply

See also User talk:John Broughton#Request for help updating my page. -- John Broughton (♫♫) 00:01, 23 October 2020 (UTC)Reply
I've reviewed and edited the version in Draft space, and have moved it to Talk:Prerna Gupta/Draft - November 2020, to preserve the edit history. I'm replacing the existing article with the revised "draft" version. -- John Broughton (♫♫) 01:14, 10 November 2020 (UTC)Reply

Incorrect birth year

edit

Please replace “Born: 1980” in the infobox with “Born: 1980s.” Different sources infer I was born different years. For example, this source says I was 29 years-old in 2011 (inferring I was born in 1982). Whereas this source says I was 35 in 2015 (born 1980). This is why the body of the page says “1980s” instead of an exact year. My actual birthdate is December 12, 1981. Prernagupta1 (talk) 20:07, 28 December 2020 (UTC)Reply

Seeing as the Entrepreneur.com reference better agrees with your statement, I have used it as the preferred source for the birth year. (This should be better than 1980s, which could mean anywhere from 1980 to 1989.) --Paul_012 (talk) 21:21, 7 January 2021 (UTC)Reply

I am Prerna Gupta, the subject of this page. Recently an anonymous IP editor added two paragraphs to the end of the Career section. I don't think these two paragraphs improve the page, because:

  • Most of the two paragraphs is redundant with the content already on the page, right above it
  • The rest is largely promotional content about the features/benefits of apps/services/companies I started
  • The last two sentences are copy/pasted from a recent article in Inc. Magazine (I think this could be added if rewritten for copyright purposes)

Thanks in advance for taking a look at as an impartial editor. Pinging @Paul 012:, who responded to my last request (a couple years ago) in case they are available again. Best regards. Prernagupta1 (talk) 17:11, 8 December 2022 (UTC)Reply

Thanks, Prernagupta1. You're right, these weren't good additions. The tone and content was all over the place, in addition to the copying problem. Fences&Windows 17:21, 14 January 2023 (UTC)Reply
Thanks @Fences and windows:. I was also reviewing the last 2+ years of press coverage for newly-published source material that could be used to update the page. There's several sources including Inc. Magazine and Fox News that prominently mention my nickname as "the queen of viral apps". Could that be added as an "also known as" in the first sentence?

Prernagupta1,MOS:BADNICK says "Nicknames and other aliases included must be frequently used by reliable sources in reference to the subject." I don't think this reaches that level, but you can ask for another opinion: WP:3O. Fences&Windowsr
Thanks @Fences and windows:. I trust your judgment of course. Thanks for your thoughtful response. Best regards. Prernagupta1 (talk) 20:39, 10 July 2023 (UTC)Reply
