As it has been noticed that Ashok Mittal has not earned an academic PhD degree using Dr. before his name creates confusion especially since he is now a member of the upper house of Indian parliament.
One may get perplexed at sentences like :
Dr. Ashok Kumar Mittal is law graduate from Guru Nanak Dev University.
Either Dr. should be removed or it should be mentioned that it is honoris causa.
By convention, the title Dr. is not to be used by the recipients (honoris causa) in the broader community. At best, they can use it while corresponding with the degree awarding institution. All these conventions are perhaps unknown to the people concerned.
According to Wikipedia:Manual of Style/Abbreviations § Contractions also contracted titles such as Dr. and St generally should not be used but may apply in some contexts (e.g., quoted material, place names, titles of works).

editWelcome to Wikipedia. Although everyone is welcome to contribute constructively to the encyclopedia, your addition of one or more external links to the page Ashok Mittal has been reverted.
Your edit here to Ashok Mittal was reverted by an automated bot that attempts to remove links which are discouraged per our external links guideline. The external link(s) you added or changed (https://twitter.com/mittalak1964) is/are on my list of links to remove and probably shouldn't be included in Wikipedia. If the external link you inserted or changed was to a blog, forum, free web hosting service, fansite, or similar site (see 'Links to avoid', #11), then please check the information on the external site thoroughly. Note that such sites should probably not be linked to if they contain information that is in violation of the creator's copyright (see Linking to copyrighted works), or they are not written by a recognised, reliable source. Linking to sites that you are involved with is also strongly discouraged (see conflict of interest).
If you were trying to insert an external link that does comply with our policies and guidelines, then please accept my creator's apologies and feel free to undo the bot's revert. However, if the link does not comply with our policies and guidelines, but your edit included other, constructive, changes to the article, feel free to make those changes again without re-adding the link. Please read Wikipedia's external links guideline for more information, and consult my list of frequently-reverted sites. For more information about me, see my FAQ page.

Discretionary Sanctions alert
edit
This is a standard message to notify contributors about an administrative ruling in effect. It does not imply that there are any issues with your contributions to date.
You have shown interest in articles about living or recently deceased people, and edits relating to the subject (living or recently deceased) of such biographical articles. Due to past disruption in this topic area, a more stringent set of rules called discretionary sanctions is in effect. Any administrator may impose sanctions on editors who do not strictly follow Wikipedia's policies, or the page-specific restrictions, when making edits related to the topic.
To opt out of receiving messages like this one, place {{Ds/aware}} on your user talk page and specify in the template the topic areas that you would like to opt out of alerts about. For additional information, please see the guidance on discretionary sanctions and the Arbitration Committee's decision here. If you have any questions, or any doubts regarding what edits are appropriate, you are welcome to discuss them with me or any other editor.
Primary sources and self-published sources.
editI would be grateful if anyone could please point out where the article has references to Primary sources and self-published sources so that necessary corrections could be made.
At some places relevant LPU sites have been referenced just to help verify the facts from the original web page itself, like who is the current Chancellor can be verified only from the University webpage itself.
Are corporate websites/ University websites self-published sources? They provide the most updated information, like if chancellor is changed it will first of all be updated in university website only. After all such references 'secondary sources' have been referenced as well.
Primary sources are original materials that are close to an event, and are often accounts written by people who are directly involved. I could find nowhere where reference is given to any account written by Ashok Mittal or LPU itself.
Also, Is the file https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Ashok_Mittal_LPU.png uploadable on wikipedia? It was removed, but is still there on telugu version of the page. Awsib (talk) 15:48, 23 July 2022 (UTC)
- Awsib please reply at Talk:Ashok Mittal. I have tagged the refs Venkat TL (talk) 16:41, 23 July 2022 (UTC)
