Comment: My second DYK nomination, exempted from QPQ.

Converted from a redirect by Ab207 (talk). Self-nominated at 15:50, 9 March 2021 (UTC).[reply]

The article was created on 8 March from a redirect so it is eligible for DYK. Everything checks out -- no copyright violations and reliably referenced, neutral and inline cited. I prefer the 1st hook as it is an interesting hook. QPQ is not required here. Good to go. --Gazal world (talk) 18:29, 13 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Contradiction between infobox and article text[edit]

@GiantSnowman and Ab207: The infobox says "Born Andhra Pradesh". Article text says "born Telangana." This is an inconsistency. Giant Snowman removed the clarification that the hamlet moved from one to the other. This inconsistency is rather important, given that the subject is famous specifically as a Telangani politician. Please resolve the inconsistency. --GRuban (talk) 16:18, 29 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]

We use the historically accurate name for places, and the infobox is also a summary of the person's notability/life. Any areas that need clarifying can - and indeed are, in many BLPs I have worked on - explained in the prose. Giant Snowman 17:38, 29 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]

I think including the clarification in paranthesis would be helpful in this context because Andhra Pradesh still exists as on date but the place is no longer part of it. -- Ab207 (talk) 19:13, 29 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]

@GiantSnowman: Aha! So you'd have no objection if that same parenthesis were moved to the prose? --GRuban (talk) 19:55, 29 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Not really, no. As I said, it's fairly standard. Giant Snowman 09:02, 30 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]

I quite like the way it's worded in Petr Kellner tbh. Giant Snowman 09:06, 30 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]
