Moved from draft by article creator, sources are appalling and it fails WP:GNG Theroadislong (talk) 20:25, 27 January 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Soft Delete and Extended-Confirmed Create Protect as Conflict of Interest editing. The subject may be notable, but the author appears to be her ghostwriter. Robert McClenon (talk) 02:27, 28 January 2019 (UTC)@Robert McClenon[reply]

I have made significant changes since the article was up for deletion. I have added references and deleted unnecessary materials. Please could you review the page one more time and advise if you still recommend it for the deletion? I am neither a publicist nor a ghostwriter, just a fan who got inspired from Sweta's journey(Suzzane lasale (talk))30th Jan 2019

Delete. The publicist who was churning it out certainly strove to drape the subject in as much notability as could be scraped up anywhere and further inflated, stretched, and rearranged. It's a publicity piece, not an encyclopedia article. I'd've G11'd it already if not for this discussion. – Athaenara ✉ 10:01, 28 January 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Delete as unambiguous WP:PROMO. Wikipedia is not a platform for promotion. Bakazaka (talk) 08:00, 30 January 2019 (UTC)[reply]

@Athaenara, @Bakazaka It is quite surprising to read your comments, but I would like to thank you all for your advice as I am a new writer at Wikipedia. If I were Sweta Rai's publicist or her "ghostwriter" this article would have been live by now as I would have known the best methods to get it done. Sadly, I am not. Please look up Sweta Rai's IMDB- she doesn't have a manager, publicist or an agent. All the movies mentioned in her article are running on various platforms these days- Hulu, Showtime, Amazon Prime, iTunes, etc. These movies are also available across stores in America like Walmart, Best Buy, Target, etc. Along with this info, I have cited the latest articles that were published in the newspapers, magazines that demonstrates Sweta Rai's education (three master's) and her film career. A show on her journey was also telecasted on a National Indian TV channel where the journalist clearly talks about her achievements. Nowadays even the short filmmakers are there on Wikipedia, and it is still not clear to me that someone like Miss Rai who has studied from prestigious institutions like AFI, she has made 7 feature films in 2 years (all released), she was Discovery Channel global diversity ambassador and a national TV newscaster- is not worthy of being mentioned on Wikipedia? Her journey from a small town of India to Hollywood is incredible. Again, I am citing from the facts mentioned by newspapers and magazines. The moment I make changes someone immediately deletes it without even letting it on the draft for at least a day for other volunteers to review. In any case, I am not here to question your authority, even if the article is deleted, it should also be deleted from everybody wiki. It shouldn't be there as well. I do not have any personal interest in her article except for the fact that I wrote it, so please proceed with however way you'd like to. Thanks again.(Suzzane lasale (talk) 20:03, 30 January 2019 (UTC))30th Jan 2019[reply]

Delete May be WP:TOOSOON: the subject does not appear to meet WP:FILMMAKER yet, nor is there any coverage in independent reliable sources to meet WP:BASIC. RebeccaGreen (talk) 17:11, 1 February 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Not necessarily. Publicists and ghostwriters usually think that they know how to work Wikipedia. They don't always. It is "well known" that hiring a paid editor is a good way to get yourself publicity in Wikipedia. Common knowledge isn't always true. The volunteer editors of Wikipedia do not always succeed at keeping Wikipedia free of spamming, but we often do very well at keeping it neutral and free of spam.
