Removal of personal information

I have again removed the personal information regarding Vadsaria's background and the associated categories. None of the information is supported by reliable sources within the article (online databases do not meet WP:RS criteria, especially for biographical data in a BLP). Any of the material removed can be restored on a case by case basis as reliable sources are found to support said material, however, in order to meet BLP policy, the contested/contentious info cannot be restored until reliably sourced.

Don't know about Portuguese descent, but her surname certainly seems to suggest that her father is Gujarati (Indian) and can quite likely trace his ancestry to Vadsar village in Gandhinagar district. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 120.56.237.30 (talk) 01:05, August 20, 2013‎ (UTC)

WP:DOB issue

Age seems off. She was class of 1999 at University of Delaware, which would mean that she graduated at 14 years old if she was born in 1985. Also, both references don't have the actual year of her birth. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2601:640:10d:dca0:d5f9:592b:b959:f0d5 (talk) 15:14, 29 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]

OK, I'm going to pull the WP:DOB, and both of the sources with it – the Maxim one does not seem to show a DOB, at least not in the Wayback Machine archives version, and the first ref doesn't have a usable archive.

Without a source, the WP:DOB should stay out, until a proper source, with at least an age, can be produced. --IJBall (contribs • talk) 15:26, 29 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]

OK, the Hindustan Times source provides and age, which does match the "1985" DOB. For now, we go with that – it's a WP:VNT situation: as long as there's a source that verifies something, we go with that until a better source comes along. We'll have to assume that "circa 1985" is correct... And individuals have graduated from college at age 14 in the past, so that might not be incorrect. But we can't put an exact DOB without a source to back that up, so an exact DOB stays out for now. Bottom line: Until another source comes along, we go with what we have. --IJBall (contribs • talk) 15:36, 29 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]

She's 41 not 33. Born in 1977-8. A search of her name through any person search database brings up her age as 41. This also makes sense when you consider that she graduated in 1999 from college and would have been 21-22 at the time, more probable than 14. The Hindustan Times probably pulled her age from a false wikipedia article and now it's ironically being used to verify a false wikipedia article. IMDB has her birth year listed as 1977 https://www.imdb.com/name/nm2115111/ — Preceding unsigned comment added by 24.7.29.46 (talk) 14:08, 31 July 2019 (UTC) and — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2601:645:4000:1af2:6c9e:395a:37c1:a599 (talk) 14:26, 31 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Again, WP:VNT – we've done our job. If you think the current source is wrong, your only option is to find another source with the correct info (e.g. the correct age). And IMDb does not count for that, as it's WP:NOTRS as per WP:RS/IMDb and WP:Citing IMDb. --IJBall (contribs • talk) 15:54, 31 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Line Spacing

IJBall I don't know why you are against line spacing and just having it like this: "2010, 2015". It make NO sense to have it in this format especially when it comes to actors who haven't been appearing in a show for years. I mean several pages for actors and the shows also had it this way such as Paget Brewster (in Criminal Minds), Joshua Leonard, Will & Grace, to name a few so I don't see the reason to fight over this.--AnimeDisneylover95 (talk) 18:52, 28 September 2019 (UTC)[reply]

You're making an WP:IDONTLIKE it argument. As I just said on my Talk page: The way Paget Brewster's table is done right now is dead wrong – it's simple, you don't introduce (extra) line-breaks into Filmography tables: each row should naturally be one line wide. That's it. --IJBall (contribs • talk) 18:54, 28 September 2019 (UTC)[reply]

That's it." You're the one who's making an WP:IDONTLIKE IJBall as said in YOUR talk page. In fact you are also "dead wrong" on Having the filmography tables and years on the actors pages to be naturally be "one line wide" like this: (e.g. 2005-06, 2011-13, 2016, 2018) does NOT work that way.--AnimeDisneylover95 (talk) 19:03, 28 September 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Let me be clear: I oppose your changes on WP:FILMOGRAPHY best-practices grounds. --IJBall (contribs • talk) 19:05, 28 September 2019 (UTC)[reply]

IJBall and I oppose your changes you made on the Dilshad Vadsaria page and your WP:IDONTLIKE.--AnimeDisneylover95 (talk) 19:08, 28 September 2019 (UTC)[reply]

I'm going to comment once on this. But as per MOS:TABLE: "...[tables] should be used only when appropriate..." A one- or two-listing table is not an appropriate use of a table. Indeed, even a three- or four-entry table is probably not enough to justify the use of a table. There is nothing that requires separate 'Film' and 'Television' tables, and for actors with a relatively small number of credits a combined 'Filmography' table is completely appropriate. The fact that other articles misuse tables with tiny tables is a WP:OSE argument, and has no bearing on whether the practice is correct or not. P.S. You have been previously warned about the excessive use of pinging other editors – keep this up and you are likely to end up at WP:ANI for it. --IJBall (contribs • talk) 15:11, 6 October 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Filmography section

"And once again, WP:DE - discussion is ongoing so WP:STATUSQUO applies." I don't know what is with you and your unhealthy obsession with this page IJBall, but all I was doing was just rearranging the section dedicated to Film and Television just like how the majority of the actors have it. Is it not too much to ask?!?!?--AnimeDisneylover95 (talk) 15:16, 6 October 2019 (UTC)[reply]

I just told you not to ping me, and you did it again. If you persist with this, I will report you. And I answered your question above – small tables are pointless and inappropriate use of tables. A combined table is fine. --IJBall (contribs • talk) 15:19, 6 October 2019 (UTC)[reply]

And, BTW, this is straight from WP:FILMOGRAPHY: Some filmographies are presented in a tabled format; however, you should make sure there is an obvious benefit to table format before creating a table for a filmography (e.g. a relatively short listing of credits for newer actors are better presented in list form, not table form). So both the WP:FILMOGRAPHY and MOS:TABLE MOS's back what I am doing here. --IJBall (contribs • talk) 15:23, 6 October 2019 (UTC)[reply]

And I am going to report you if you are going to edit war on this page once again due to your overall obsession with it.--AnimeDisneylover95 (talk) 15:25, 6 October 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Secondly just because what the WP:FILMOGRAPHY description said on the filmography tables doesn't mean that EVERY Actor and Actress need to have a combined table in their pages.--AnimeDisneylover95 (talk) 15:28, 6 October 2019 (UTC)--AnimeDisneylover95 (talk) 15:28, 6 October 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Nobody said they did. But for actors and actresses with a relatively small number of credits, like this one, a combined 'Film and Television' table is completely appropriate. --IJBall (contribs • talk) 15:29, 6 October 2019 (UTC)[reply]
