Submission declined on 28 April 2024 by Johannes Maximilian (talk). This submission's references do not show that the subject qualifies for a Wikipedia article—that is, they do not show significant coverage (not just passing mentions) about the subject in published, reliable, secondary sources that are independent of the subject (see the guidelines on the notability of people). Before any resubmission, additional references meeting these criteria should be added (see technical help and learn about mistakes to avoid when addressing this issue). If no additional references exist, the subject is not suitable for Wikipedia.

Comment: The subject is an associate professor and doesn't hold a named chair appointment; thus, he doesn't benefit from presumend inherent notability per WP:NPROF. The cited sources, however, do not indicate notability. --Johannes (Talk) (Contribs) (Articles) 12:44, 28 April 2024 (UTC)
Comment: This was a rejected draft, an editor "moved" it to article space by deleting the AfC templates including the rejection notification. Netherzone (talk) 00:02, 25 December 2023 (UTC)
Comment: Repeated submissions have not sufficiently improved sourcing and tone to warrant promotion of this draft to the main space. Sourcing does not demonstrate the subject clears WP:NACADEMIC or WP:NBIO. Content of draft continues to read like a resume and does not clear WP:NOT. M4V3R1CK32 (talk) 21:13, 2 November 2023 (UTC)
Comment: This is too promotional, and does not seem to have fixed problems with improper citations that were noted by the previous rejection. aaronneallucas (talk) 01:33, 17 May 2023 (UTC)
Comment: Early life is entirely unsourced except for a WP:CIRCULAR link. WP:External links should be removed. Greenman (talk) 20:09, 9 May 2023 (UTC)

Prakash is known for his work focusing on themes of modernity, postcolonialism, global history and architecture.[2] Prakash's focus on Indian architectural history is noticed through his work, particularly his 2012 book, The Architecture of Shivdatt Sharma (Mapin Publishing),[3] on the work of prominent 20th century Indian architect Shivdatt Sharma.[4][5] Prakash is the son of Aditya Prakash, a prominent late 20th century Indian architect and academic.
