Should have my review up within a week

Thanks. I will be glad to fix issues, if any. Abhi (talk) 11:28, 5 December 2014 (UTC)

I apologize for the delay, here's my review.....

Infobox

• Why is her full name not listed here?
• If "social worker" is listed in lead, why is it not included in the occupation field here?
• I'm not sure the "nationality" field is needed

Lead

• Per WP:SURNAME, people should generally be referred to be last name unless ambiguous, I see many instances of "Shaina" that should be "NC" or perhaps "Nana Chudasama".
• Not sure "A daughter of the former Sheriff of Mumbai" is needed here
• "Guinness" should be italicized since it is referring to the book of Guinness World Records
• I'm skeptical about "innovative" being the best term to use
• "As a woman politician"..... female politician
• "she is often projected as young, urbane and women-friendly face of the BJP in television debates"..... reads awkwardly

Personal life

• See above comments in lead about WP:SURNAME
• It would help to state whether she is older or younger than her siblings
• "She completed I.C.S.E"..... reads awkwardly, and I'm not sure if Indian Certificate of Secondary Education should be abbreviated
• "she took Associate's degree"..... received her Associate's
• "celebrates all religious festivals"..... this is going to require stronger sourcing
• "says Shaina about husband Manish Munot" is redundant when it has previously been established that she is talking about her husband. Using "says" after a quote also makes this read like a press release.
• It would help to include when her children were born
• "Shaina is often seen with Bollywood actors due to professional reasons or social work. Her friends includes actors Salman Khan and Shah Rukh Khan" is completely trivial and should be removed

Career

• "Shaina is pursuing her career in fashion designing as well as in politics. She says that fashion designing is her profession while politics is her passion" is completely unneeded

Fashion designer

• try changing aligning the saree quote or taking it out of the quotebox so it is more evident that it is part of this section- the current alignment with images makes this harder to see
• I'm not sure "She does not like to design for Bollywood films and prefers designing for individuals" is needed
• See previous note in "personal life" regarding "says" after a quote
• See previous note in lead regarding Guinness
• "Queen of Drapes" should be in quotes rather than italics
• " Indian women traditionally wear saree over petticoat, but in one of her 54 innovative draping styles, Shaina wears saree over trousers. She says there are no set rules regarding how to wear saree. Women can wear saree over jeans, chudidar or tapered skirt in combination with choli. One other of her innovative way is to wear two sarees at a time"..... awkward phrasing and subpar tone, I'm also not sure this is even needed
• "For younger and modern Indian women, who may find it cumbersome to wear six-yard saree, she has designed ready-to-wear sarees"..... inappropriate tone and completely unneeded
• Is "Her family has skilled craftsmen since last many decades who works on sarees designed by her" really needed?

Politician

• This section also goes against WP:SURNAME
• "She says that she was interested in politics ever since she was a kid"..... child is more encyclopedic
• Per MOS:DATE, "Feb 2014" should be February 2014

Social work

• This section continues to go against WP:SURNAME
• I'm not sure "yesteryears" is the best term
• "fashion shows for this noble cause"..... not only is this inappropriate tone, but "noble" isn't really a neutral description
• "Dec 2008" should be December 2008, "Feb 2009" should be February 2009, and "Nov 2010" should be November 2010" per MOS:DATE
• February is two months after December, not three
• I'm concerned about the POV of "heroes" and "outstanding" in "outstanding contribution"
• "many organisations like"..... including

As a woman in politics

• I don't think this is needed given the previous "politician" section.

Overall

• Well-written?

• Prose quality: could use a copyedit
• Manual of Style compliance: repeatedly goes against MoS

• Verifiable?

• Reference layout: needs better formatting
• Reliable sources: Three subpar references
• No original research: All statements are followed by citations

• Broad in coverage?

• Major aspects: while shorter than many articles on political figures, this generally seems to make the most of crucial information available
• Focused: There is excess content which needs cutting

• Neutral?: Not quite

• Stable?: All good

• Illustrated, if possible, by images?

• Appropriate licensing: No copyright issues
• Relevance and captioning: This seems cluttered with a group of photos all aligned against one side. I'd alternate the alignment and only use two or three of these images used in article (not counting infobox image).

• Pass or Fail?: The article needs to be thoroughly rewritten, so I'm failing the nomination. Better luck next time. Snuggums (talk / edits) 16:40, 16 December 2014 (UTC)
