Talk:Prominent personalities supporting Jan Lokpal Bill

Removal of almost everyone

My apologies to the article creators, but I had to remove all but 2 people because of WP:BLP concerns. Our policy on biographical information of living people is a very strong an core policy of Wikipedia. It states that anything that is possibly contentious about a living person must be backed up by a highly reliable source; if it is not, policy says that it must be removed. This protects both Wikipedia and the living people involved. In this case, we are talking about support for a particular law which is not universally approved of, and support of which may have consequences for those living people publicly supporting it. Thus, we must provide a reliable source for anyone who is to appear on this list. I left in the one sourced filmmaker, and Hazare, since a quick glance at his bio and the main page for this Bill make it abundantly clear he supports it; actually, though, when I think about it, just to be safe, I'll move over one of those references to here for full in text verification.

So, I know that there's basically nothing left of this article. But please do not, under any circumstances, add any person to this article without a high quality reference. That means no blogs, no social networking sites, no tabloids...only top tier newspapers, news shows, or the equivalent. Qwyrxian (talk) 06:20, 8 April 2011 (UTC)[reply]

I just wanted to say thanks to everyone who's adding the sourced entries. I did feel bad removing the unsourced info, but felt it necessary. At some point, the references should be filled out using a "cite news" template; I'll try to get to that at some point if I remember. Qwyrxian (talk) 22:57, 8 April 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Keep: Now many refernces have been provided for the persons. Now there shouldn't be any problem in keeping this. Others are requested to add more references and names. Maheshkumaryadav (talk) 10:05, 8 April 2011 (UTC)[reply]

: Delete : Its not just about references, I think this is a Laundry list and contents of it can be merged as a section (Even thats debateable) in Jan Lokpal Bill article. Ideal place would be to create 2011 India Against Corruption Movement article and mention about the fast, movement, personalities in it. Article in its current form is junk IMHO.

First, there is no deletion discussion open, so no need to line up one way or the other. Logicwiki, if you think this shouldn't be a stand alone article, you should follow the procedures for discussed in Wikipedia:Proposed mergers. I would agree that this should almost certainly be merged unless the list grows to be exceptionally long (which it is not, right now). Qwyrxian (talk) 11:56, 8 April 2011 (UTC)[reply]

The contenct should be transferred to Jan Lokpal Bill .Shyamsunder (talk) 00:13, 10 April 2011 (UTC)[reply]

REDIRECT: The content should be transferred to 2011 Indian anti-corruption movement. Also, MaheshKumarYadav, you cannot strong keep your own article, at most you could have added the hang on tag. JustinSpringer (talk) 07:22, 12 April 2011 (UTC)[reply]
