Draft:Vasant Rambhau Sheolikar

  • Comment: In an edit summary, you (the draft submitter) said: Given that the individual in question is 94 years old, it is understandable that internet-based sources are limited, as online documentation was not as prevalent during his time. That is certainly true! However, sources do not need to be online. More information at Wikipedia:Offline sources.
    The main page of the Sangeet Natak Akademi website fills no function here, since it does not mention Vasant Rambhau Sheolikar. If there is information about him on a specific page on the website, please link to that page.
    This is a good source to verify the award (better than this source), but it is not used as an actual source, with inline citations as explained previously. bonadea contributions talk 16:16, 31 January 2025 (UTC)
  • Comment: The draft has no inline citations. In a Wikipedia article, all claims must be possible to verify in a reliable source, and there must be inline citations to show the reader which information is supported by which source. This is particularly important in a biography of a living person. bonadea contributions talk 13:12, 31 January 2025 (UTC)
  • Comment: Wikipedia itself is not a reliable source and should not be used in articles to support claims. Rambley (talk) 09:29, 31 January 2025 (UTC)

Born into a family with a rich musical background, he is known for adapting the violin to the Gayaki Ang style, often credited with bringing the violin instrument to prominence in Indian classical music.
