Proposed merge of TutorVista into BYJU'S

[edit]

Not really noteworthy to have its own article, also acquired by BYJU'S Eatcha (talk) 14:39, 30 May 2020 (UTC)hgkgk[reply]

I also think tutorvista can be merged into Byjus (Adithya mahadev (talk) 17:17, 30 June 2020 (UTC))[reply]

  checkY Merger complete. Klbrain (talk) 12:07, 31 July 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Proposed merge of Osmo (game system) into BYJU'S

[edit]

Same reason as tutor Vista, small subsidiary of the larger company. Eatcha 18:26, 18 September 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Oppose, given Osmo's history prior to its 2019 acquisition. Klbrain (talk) 09:37, 11 April 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Closing, given the uncontested objection and no support. Klbrain (talk) 06:54, 27 July 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Controversy section

[edit]

We very well know about the video that surfaced on the internet in which a BYJU's Salesman was being verbally abused by his manager. This should be included in a new controversy section. The section was deleted by an IP a few days ago. There should definitely be a controversy section. clickHereToGoToMyUserPage (talk) 08:31, 27 September 2020 (UTC)[reply]

No it should not be included. I don't find any such report in reliable news sources, eg TOI, HT etc. -- Eatcha 06:27, 6 April 2021 (UTC)[reply]
They did put a defamation lawsuit on Pradeep Poonia for exposing their false advertisement practices. Surely, this qualifies to be added to a controversy section. --Desmond david (talk) 11:40, 29 July 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Is there a need to write in a very important knowledge platform like Wikipedia on some one off incidents. I also think it should not be included. Write about the mergers and acquisitions and criticisms about their too aggressive marketing practises. Informed criticism should be the rule of the game (42.109.144.179 (talk) 05:58, 17 November 2021 (UTC))[reply]

Adding info about byju's owned companies.

[edit]

Many subsidiaries of Byju's such as Whitehat Jr, Aakash Educational Services and Scholr don't have there own page on english Wikipedia, so what if wee add there little information like one paragraph each in the same article of Byju's? ExclusiveEditor (talk) 07:01, 25 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]

@ExclusiveEditor there would be too much of overlapping of the information. Not advisable. RPSkokie (talk) 16:35, 30 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Removed awards and nominations section.

[edit]

The awards listed in the article did not meet the Wikipedia standards for listing awards. They were part of lists that were not demonstrably notable, with notability generally interpreted as having, or obviously qualifying for a standalone article. The majority of the awards were not won by Byju's individually but as a part of a longer list. Please feel free to bring back the awards that are notable enough to warrant an independent article. Kenm v2 (talk) 14:27, 30 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]

@Kenm v2 first discuss individual line items and then do the selective blanking. RPSkokie (talk) 16:38, 30 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]
@RPSkokie Very well. I will create another topic for awards that warrant deletion. Kenm v2 (talk) 01:33, 1 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Selected awards for deletion

[edit]

Following awards do not follow Wikipedia's guidelines on awards and accolades so they should not be in the article. The reasons are:

  • They are listicles.
  • The award does not have its own article or does not warrant its own article. [1]

I suggest the following rewards to start:

  • 2012 Deloitte Technology Fast 500 Asia Pacific
  • 2013 Deloitte Technology Fast 500 Asia Pacific
  • 2014 Deloitte Technology Fast 500 Asia Pacific
  • 2015 Deloitte Technology Fast 500 Asia Pacific
  • 2016 Deloitte Technology Fast 500 Asia Pacific
  • 2017 Deloitte Technology Fast 500 Asia Pacific
  • 2019 Deloitte's 2019 Technology Fast Asia Pacific 500™ Ranking
The following awards come under the same criteria:
  • 2016 Future of India Awards
2012 Deloitte Technology Fast 500 Asia Pacific; removed, No mention of Byju in the reference document.
2013 Deloitte Technology Fast 500 Asia Pacific; removed, No mention of Byju in the reference document.
2014 Deloitte Technology Fast 500 Asia Pacific; removed, No mention of Byju in the reference document. RPSkokie (talk) 02:57, 1 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Access to pages of the Byju's site not permitted from EU

[edit]

I think that it is important to mention in the article that the site byjus.com is not accessible from EU "as a result of the EU’s General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR). We are not permitting internet traffic to Byju’s website from countries within European Union at this time."! If the main page is accessible, as soon as you explore the site you are blocked with the above message. -- Nbrouard (talk) 07:19, 9 June 2022 (UTC)[reply]

WP:NOTGUIDE countless websites restricted access from EU due to GDPR — DaxServer (t · m · c) 09:32, 9 June 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Nothing to do with WP:NOTGUIDE but GDPR. Do you know any reason why byjus.com is not compliant? Do they refuse to ask for cookies or something like that? If the site is against GDPR, it is important to let it know in the main article. These sites aren't countless as you said. It is the first time I encounter such a site.-- Nbrouard (talk) 09:56, 9 June 2022 (UTC)[reply]
WP:BURDEN I'm not seeing any sources for your claims — DaxServer (t · m · c) 10:45, 9 June 2022 (UTC)[reply]

There are lot many allegations against Byju which was once hailed as beacon of India tech startup. None of those serious allegations are reflected in this article (Themisislegal (talk) 05:54, 20 October 2023 (UTC))[reply]
