Can you please help me to find out the lines that needs to be omitted from my drafts to be submitted successfully.

@DrArvinderSingh: I hope you have read the comment on the draft. You have created a paean of self praise. I suggest you either forget about this glowing eulogy entirely and blank it, or start from the beginning, based only on references. The answer I have for you is "All of them."

Hello,

Can someone please explain the reviewer's comment to me in a way I can understand? I am not sure what is wrong with the article although I have read the notability statement several times. I have resubmitted the article several times and each time the comments and reviews have not been helpful. If you can provide specific examples of the errors and how I might go about correcting them, I may not need to keep resubmitting it so many times. It is frustrating to keep editing especially when you don't understand how you are supposed to edit something you have edited several times already but to no avail. I have verified my references, I have used inline citations wherever I should, I have referenced my sources following your guidelines but it has been rejected each time. I'm not sure how to go about editing it without further useful guidance.

Thanks. Shyamw1 (my username) Link to the article I submitted – https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Draft:N._Gopalaswami_Ayyangar&redirect=no

@Shyamw1: As a start, please add inline citations into the body of the draft so that specific claims can be matched with the citations. As it stands, the references are all at the bottom of the draft, making it difficult to determine which claims are backed up by which references. Once this is done, it will be easier to give more detailed feedback on the draft. Thanks, /wia🎄/tlk 17:24, 14 December 2015 (UTC)
