Inclusion of foreigners[edit]

There is an agenda here to include anyone with an Indian connection into the list. As the title mandates only Indian winners and nominees those Non-Indians will be reverted from the list and intro.-- Dravidian Hero 22:38, 29 September 2013 (UTC)[reply]

In order to start an effective and neutral discussion, why not try to frame the problem more appropriately? E.g. "What are the inclusion criteria for this list?" Also, you are the one who started removing large portions of the list, perhaps the agenda is your own? In any case, please wait for a consensus to form and do not, under any circumstances, continue to edit war. The Rambling Man (talk) 07:36, 30 September 2013 (UTC)[reply]

You are making a non-existing fake argument that there was no criteria, which is "Indian Academy Award winners and nominees". Next time I will report you if you don't stop creating lies in order to make me look like a fool! -- Dravidian Hero 15:32, 30 September 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Once again, go ahead and "report" me. When you do, be sure to let everyone know which "lies" I've created to make you look like a fool. I'm not sure it's me that's doing that. What I am saying is "what are the inclusion criteria for this list?". The Rambling Man (talk) 16:13, 30 September 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Merle Oberon[edit]

Merle Oberon was born in Mumbai and was half Indian. She was nominated for Best Actress in 1935. Is there a reason she is not on this list? Just wanted to check before I added her. 140.180.246.80 (talk) 16:41, 17 May 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Her article shows it was British India and not India as such. Lugnuts ^{Fire Walk with Me} 17:49, 17 May 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Subjective and vague selection of winners selected by previous editors[edit]

Some Non-Indian-citizenship of Indian origin are mentioned like M. Night Shymalan BUT other Non-Indian-citizenship Indian origin like Dev Patel are discouraged to be mentioned. What is this? DarpSinghh (talk) 09:29, 19 March 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Inclusion of Indian-Americans[edit]

Why are Indian-Americans included, when they are American citizens of Indian ethnicity?

Is this article based on nationality or ethnicity? If it's the latter why haven't people like Dev Patel and M. Night Shyamalan been included? Yuyutsu Ho (talk) 17:20, 12 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]
