Manpreet Singh Badal[edit]

Please do not reinstate huge chunks of unsourced statements into BLPs. Either cite properly or leave the content out. You added "Manpreet was born in Sri Muktsar Sahib, Punjab on July 26, 1962. He was born to Gurdas Singh Badal, who was related to current Punjab Chief Minister Parkash Singh Badal During his college days, he was a keen basketball player. Manpreet graduated from the Doon School and graduated with a Bachelor of Arts from St. Stephen's College, Delhi. He later graduated from the University of London with a LL.B." using this as your source. The sources says nothing about:

his parentage
his relations
his place of birth
his date of birth
his interest in basketball

It also does not say that he "graduated" from Doon (nor do I think that anyone can), nor what degree he got from St Stephen's, nor that he got LL.B from London (just a "law degree"). This is a WP:BLP. Source your statements properly or bin them, please. You should also read up on WP:CITEVAR, note that barelinks are deprecated, and note that there is a template in place that stipulates dmy dates. - Sitush (talk) 15:44, 12 July 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Arvind Virmani[edit]

You have reinstated "Virmani was educated at The Doon School and Harvard University." and cite this source in support. Either my eyesight is getting much worse or you have used a source that does not support the statement. Which is it, please? And why on earth are you ignoring WP:LEAD? - no statements in lead sections should require a source. - Sitush (talk) 17:34, 12 July 2012 (UTC)[reply]

I have also added the point that Virmani intensely disliked his Doon experience. If the school must be mentioned then it should be done in the correct context. - Sitush (talk) 19:30, 12 July 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Mea culpa! You're right, I mixed up the two 'Business Standard' sources. --TheKumarAtNo.42 (talk) 06:19, 15 July 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Dalip Mehta[edit]

I have reverted you at Dalip Mehta. The source is a book review, which is rarely a good thing in this context & thus the statement may as well be "unsourced". Furthermore, it is a passing mention in that source. Finally, I am struggling to see the significance of where he went to school in terms of his notability. Did he also attend university, I wonder? What type of tea does he prefer? What car manufacturer has he favoured? Did his schooling influence which IPL team he supports? - Sitush (talk) 19:27, 12 July 2012 (UTC)[reply]

DYK for The Doon School Weekly[edit]

On 18 July 2012, Did you know? was updated with a fact from the article The Doon School Weekly, which you created or substantially expanded. The fact was ... that The Doon School Weekly, established in 1936, is the oldest publication of The Doon School? The nomination discussion and review may be seen at Template:Did you know nominations/The Doon School Weekly. You are welcome to check how many hits the article got while on the front page (here's how, quick check) and it will be added to DYKSTATS if it got over 5,000. If you know of another interesting fact from a recently created article, then please suggest it on the Did you know? talk page.
