Hello Best friend, good to see you making contributions so early into Wikipedia. Its a good idea to make original contributions to articles. If however, you are copying text or re-using images from other websites, pls check if this is not violating any copyrights of the original authors.
Mention the source of the image Image:Manisha_Koirala_pic_01.jpg at the image description page. Is the image free, in public domain or have you taken permission from the website ?
Also refer to my comments at Talk:Mohammed_Rafi and Talk:Dilip_Kumar. For a text and images copyrights statement in Wikipedia, refer Wikipedia:Contributing FAQ, section 5.1
If you wish to know rules, policies, information, etc. regarding working on Wikipedia, here is a list of topics: Wikipedia:List of articles in the Wikipedia namespace

The article List of tourist attractions in Delhi has been proposed for deletion because of the following concern:
Policies violated by this page:
WP:NLIST Not all of the entries discussed as a set by independent reliable sources.
WP:NOTDIRECTORY "Simple listings without contextual information showing encyclopedic merit."WP:NOTGUIDE Wikipedia is not a travel guide. We have Wikitravel for that, and many of these pages could be recreated (or already are) there.
The core content policies are: 1) neutral point of view, 2) no original research and 3) verifiability. This page violages policies 2 and 3.
WP:VERIFY What are the criteria to meet to be in the list? This page has vague or no criteria. By definition, then, there is no way to verify the inclusion or exclusion of any particular site in the list.
WP:NOR Original research "includes any analysis or synthesis of published material that serves to reach or imply a conclusion not stated by the sources. To demonstrate that you are not adding original research, you must be able to cite reliable, published sources that are directly related to the topic of the article, and directly support the material being presented." Who says that each of the items in the list are tourist attractions? Given the lack of inclusion criteria, that's understandable, as there is no need to justify being in a list that doesn't have standards for inclusion. However, that also points to original research as being the source for inclusion.
While all constructive contributions to Wikipedia are appreciated, pages may be deleted for any of several reasons.
You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the {{proposed deletion/dated}} notice, but please explain why in your edit summary or on the article's talk page.
Please consider improving the page to address the issues raised. Removing {{proposed deletion/dated}} will stop the proposed deletion process, but other deletion processes exist. In particular, the speedy deletion process can result in deletion without discussion, and articles for deletion allows discussion to reach consensus for deletion. — rsjaffe 🗣️ 02:35, 1 March 2022 (UTC)
