What is the point of having the picture so big? On other articles the pictures are of a reasonable size. (Shakirfan 22:55, 20 March 2006 (UTC))[reply]


I've removed the following section, which needs rewriting, referencing, and integrating with the rest of the article. It doesn't need a section of its own.

Personal life

[edit]

Soundarya (known as Soumya to close family members) was born in the Ashtagrama villages and was a Tamil Iyer Brahmin. She married her maternal uncle and childhood friend, software engineer G. S. Raghu on 27,April, 2003. She had great dreams of promoting public welfare during her lifetime. At the time of her death, she was about to produce and act in a film titled 'Kamli', directed by K.N.T Sastry. Her wishes of funding welfare activities are being fulfilled by her husband and sister-in-law through the Amara Soundarya Social and Educational Trust [ASSET]. She has developed the entire village of Gangigunte [her native village], Mulabagal Taluk, in the Kolar district of Karnataka. Soundarya maintained an orphanage. Presently, it is being maintained by her relatives. In addition, the school, AMARA SOUNDARYA VIDYALAYA, is maintained by her trust and her own home is now being used as a school. There are many ideas and concepts that were dreamt and thought by Soundarya and her brother Amarnath for the welfare of the society, being fulfilled by Soundarya's husband and Soundarya's sister-in-law Nirmala using ASSET. She had adopted some educational institutions and given funding for so many educational institutions and their family is continuing funding for educational institutions.


I've moved the following section here. See the list of nominees and winners of Filfare awards here Filmfare Nominees and Winners - it doesn't bear out the claims for Filmfare.

Soundarya's date of borth is wrong

I would like to ask someone to change her date of birth. Her DOB is 1976 July 18th, but in wikipedia its showing July 18th 1971.. I am unable to edit it... Ramsou8 (talk) 19:59, 21 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]

 Partly done: Changed to July 18, 1972 per IMDB and India Times sources([1]). Highway 89 (talk) 20:26, 21 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Well, the sources here clarifies that she was born in 1972. If you have different sources which states her dob as 1976 you are free to add request or make change to the article. Tolly4bolly 03:23, 15 August 2019 (UTC)[reply]

About the image

[edit]
@Mohammad Liyaqat: Kindly do not undo the recent edit regarding the image replacement. You should consider the reasons for that. The file was there in the article for about 8 years and too large to be under fair use policy. So it was replaced by the new image considering the size and providing some change to the readers to see the other image of the actress in Wiki article. Hope it's conveyed.

Birth year 1972 or 1976

[edit]

Sources that support birth year as 1972

Only, The Times of India's slideshow seems to be an outlier here. @Johnnie Bob and DaxServer: Thoughts? -- Ab207 (talk) 06:08, 31 July 2021 (UTC)[reply]

I found some more sources, primarily searching in the List of newspapers in India which are published in English.
Sources that support 1972
Sources that support 1976
Notes: For some reason, Rediff wrote two conflicting dates. Calculating DoB from age is always tricky, or is it 1971? The Organiser (magazine) is blacklisted and hence I couldn't post that link. -- DaxServer (talk) 14:25, 31 July 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Another note to @Yamaguchi先生, is it possible to ask the IP, who claimed to be a relative, to email OTRS about the proof of 1976 birth? Also, would that OTRS ticket number serve as citation? -- DaxServer (talk) 14:30, 31 July 2021 (UTC)[reply]
I knew that there were some sources that conflicted with the Times of India information, but it's usually a very reliable source, and when the IP posted and her post agreed with TOI I just figured that the other sources were getting their information from Wikipedia. I didn't think there were that many that had the 1972 date. Clearly, some of those sources are WP:TERTIARY and possibly should be removed.
Regardless, I think the best thing to do for now would be to remove the birth date altogether until this can be sorted out. I'm a little hesitant to contact the IP because I've found that in most cases when they say they are a relative or a friend or something like that, it's usually "wishful thinking" on their part. Also, we don't really know if the subject of the article had her own version of her birthdate that she used for publicity purposes. Is there any old archived social media where we can see what the subject herself has said her birthdate is? — Johnnie Bob (talk) 16:45, 31 July 2021 (UTC)[reply]
I wouldn't call The Times of India a "very reliable source" (WP:TOI); infact, we have deprecated the use of TOI bio pages at WP:ICTF where they publish fake and fabricated information. Since many of the sources that say 1972 (or 1971) are published before the wikipedia article was created, they can't be disregarded. I think we can accomodate both the years in the article per WP:NPOV instead of removing them, until there's any conclusive evidence one way or the other. -- Ab207 (talk) 14:05, 1 August 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Ab207, I guess I would have no objection to including both dates, as long as the explanation is clear why there are two dates listed.
BUT, getting back to the reliability concern regarding TOI, the latest guidance posted the main WP:ICTF project page says they are reliable (see WP:ICTF#Guidelines on sources). I would have never found that discussion thread you refer to and I would venture that most other editors probably wouldn't either. Perhaps the guideline on the main discussion page regarding TOI should be revised. Johnnie Bob (talk) 20:01, 1 August 2021 (UTC)[reply]
@Johnnie Bob and DaxServer: Added both the years per the above discussion, please review the edit and make any changes if needed. -- Ab207 (talk) 20:38, 1 August 2021 (UTC)[reply]
