D.B.T. David moved to draftspace

Thanks for your contributions to D.B.T. David. Unfortunately, I do not think it is ready for publishing at this time because it needs more sources to establish notability and the sources cited so far are all about things other than D.B.T. David, and most don't even mention him. Please see Wikipedia:Notability (people) for more information on Wikipedia's policies and guidelines for biographical articles, thanks. I have converted your article to a draft which you can improve, undisturbed for a while.

Please see more information at Help:Unreviewed new page. When the article is ready for publication, please click on the "Submit for review" button at the top of the page OR move the page back. Wikishovel (talk) 15:58, 26 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Dear Sir, the source for this article is from a Biographical booklet titled, "Rev. D.B.T. David: Pastor par excellence" printed by the family after his death, for local readership in Chennai, Nov 2001. The articles of Rev. David had appeared in Tamil newspapers/magazines. Church souvenirs contain writings of others about him in Tamil, which preceded internet usage and digital formating. The tribute of Bishop cited is in the youtube video (in Tamil). After Facebook came, some parishioners have commented positively about Rev. David, at different times in the past which are laborious to trace now. He ministered to a neglected community to whom no media or researcher or social worker or church agency engaged with as Rev. David. Therefore, his ministry is considered first of its kind. Clergymen serve the church and the public too without fanfare or promoting themselves. They shun publicity. Any good deed done for publicity will only be self-defeating. Therefore, this article deserves to be at least in a draft format or ("sources to be verified") category, for the sake of future researchers. Thank you for your time. (User: Wordofguidance.)
