Talk:Rekha Pande

Like resume

There are many promotional statements, such as "an internationally well-known scholar", "with the intellectual ability to offer both a theoretically and practically-grounded view", "she is a well-known and well-published academic scholar", "she has thirty-five years of teaching experience", "she has a large amount of experience working..." and so on. These are stated as if they were the author's opinion, not attributed to any independent source, and should be rewritten more encyclopedic. --Gronk Oz (talk) 11:19, 19 January 2018 (UTC)

Weird publishing history

Pande has a seemingly weird publishing history if our list is to be believed. Gyan/Kalpaz are known to plagiarise works and stick a name on it; IGI are a vanity press; Cambridge Scholars are not at all what many people think and have had a rough ride at WP:RSN. There are also a lot of very obscure journal papers, some of which may be predatory publishers. Have we actually checked this out to verify (a) they really are written by her and (b) they're not pseudo-academic stuff? - Sitush (talk) 05:41, 25 July 2020 (UTC)

I've removed the list of journal articles, partly because of the issues you note, but mostly because I think it was too detailed and read like a CV. Better to focus on what is actually notable about this person. Article needs further work on tone, sourcing, format of booklist. Tacyarg (talk) 08:22, 12 July 2023 (UTC)

• Comment There is no dates on the this. It seems almost stream of conciousness stuff, entirely unsuitable for a WP:BLP article. No links on it either. Nothing flows from one to other. No real context of when she started and why she went a particular direction. Tone issues. scope_creep^Talk 09:50, 21 July 2023 (UTC)
