Request for independent feedback on Abhijeet Dipke draft
[edit]Hi HJ, I hope you don't mind me reaching out.
I wanted to ask for your independent view regarding an article on Abhijeet Dipke.
Dipke has received substantial international and Indian media coverage in recent months, including Reuters, BBC, The New York Times, Associated Press, Al Jazeera and several major Indian publications. Given the extent of this independent coverage, I believe his notability is worth reassessing.
At the same time, the existing article has seen repeated edits, reversions and disputes, and has been protected for edit warring/content disputes. The revision history may provide useful context: https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Abhijeet_Dipke&action=history
I have prepared a substantially revised draft based on the available independent coverage. I would be grateful if you could take a look and let me know whether, in your view, it meets Wikipedia's relevant notability, sourcing and neutrality requirements.
If you think the draft is sufficiently supported, I would also appreciate your advice on whether it would be appropriate to move it to mainspace through AfC, or what further issues should be addressed first.
Draft: User:Rayhan Ahmed Tamim/Draft/Abhijeet Dipke
I'm not asking you to endorse the subject or the article simply because of the amount of media attention. I would mainly value an experienced, independent assessment of whether the available sources are sufficient for Wikipedia and whether the article is presented with appropriate neutrality.
Thank you for taking the time to look at it.
Track record review request
[edit]Hi HJ Mitchell, I submitted a request for rollback rights on 2 July, but it has not yet been reviewed. I have also tried to follow the track record you previously advised. Could you please take a look when you have time? Thank you. AriuCH (talk) 18:09, 9 August 2026 (UTC)
- @AriuCH Sorry I haven't had much time for PERM requests lately. I didn't mean to leave you hanging like that. It looks like you've come a long way since your first request was declined. I've seen you at AIV and actioned some of your reports. I'm happy to grant your rollback now. As I say to everyone, start slowly and be careful! (I'll do it from PERM, so you'll get another notification in a minute.) HJ Mitchell | Penny for your thoughts? 19:54, 9 August 2026 (UTC)
- HJ Mitchell, thank you very much for granting rollback. I truly appreciate your guidance, and I will always apply your advice carefully in my editing work. AriuCH (talk) 19:59, 9 August 2026 (UTC)
