Draft:Mohit Ramchandani

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
  • Comment: The references are routine announcements of films and not about the director (only passing mentions). I did find two references in a Google search that talks more in-depth about him but both are negative and both from unreliable sources. CNMall41 (talk) 20:18, 20 September 2024 (UTC)
  • Comment: I think this is close but needs better referencing to show notability. Currently, The Hollywood Reporter is the only article that could be used for notability. The Indie Wrap falls under WP:NEWSORGINDIA and needs to be removed. The others are about the films and mention him, but are not in-depth about him. Are you able to provide additional sourcing that talks more in-depth about him and not just the films? If so, ping me here and I will come back to review once added.
