Mahesh Babu is an Indian actor who is currently one of the most famous male leads in Telugu cinema. Over the past couple of months, both of us have put significant work into the article, which included reworking the lead and citations as well as changing the table's structure. I think that it now fits the criteria and is ready to be reviewed. MSG17 (talk) 23:35, 21 July 2020 (UTC) (PS: This is our first FL nomination for either of us.)[reply]

Resolved comments from ChrisTheDude (talk) 16:36, 26 July 2020 (UTC)[reply]
;Comments
  • "His first lead role as an adult was the in the 1999 film" - too many "the"s in there
Done
  • "took a break that lasted for three years. During that period, he acted..." - it wasn't a complete break then?
Done - it was a combination of a break and long production time on Khaleja
  • No reason to put "cameo" in italics against Needa. Also, if the role was not actually named, I would put that in this cell and move the reference to it being a cameo into the notes column, otherwise people will think he played a character called Cameo.
Done
  • Directors' names need to sort on surname, not forename/initials
Done
  • No reason to put voiceover in italics
Done
  • Make sure the refs are consistent in how you display the work/publisher. Currently I can see both "The Times of India" and "timesofindia.indiatimes.com", also "Rediff" and "www.rediff.com". Generally speaking, you should not show anything like "www" and ".com"
Done for all except idlebrain.com, due to the title having the ".com" in it
  • Check that all refs have dates of publication (where available) and accessdates. Currently, ref 11 has neither.
Done (some refs, such as all the idlebrain reviews and some Times of India ones, do not have a pubdate)
  • Support -- ChrisTheDude (talk) 16:36, 26 July 2020 (UTC)[reply]
  • Support: No major issues (maybe redirects and inconsistent film spellings can be fixed like Rajakumarudu, but that's your choice). Do call me when nominating other film lists for FLC. --Kailash29792 (talk) 11:49, 15 August 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Thanks for the review! I've fixed the spelling and look for others, if any. --Ab207 (talk) 19:04, 15 August 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Source review - Pass[edit]

Doing now. Aza24 (talk) 22:34, 29 August 2020 (UTC)[reply]

  • Ref 4 has no date and an incorrect title?
Accessdate and date were mixed up, fixed this and title
Fixed
  • Link these as well: Vogue India, Oneindia, Firstpost, The Hindu, Deccan Chronicle, Hindustan Times, International Business Times, The Hans India, Zee News, Idlebrain.com, Rediff, Bangalore Mirror
Fixed
  • Ref 11 should have "The Times of India" and should be under "|work="
Fixed
  • Ref 12 seems to be the wrong date
Fixed
  • Ref 25 should be The Times of India
Fixed
  • Ref 35 and 39 appear to be the same ref
Fixed
  • Why is Ref 38 (the Youtube video) even here?
  • In fact why are any of these videos here?
  • Refs 56–58 is missing the authors
Fixed, sorry Radhika Rajamani!
  • Since you're not including staff writers for the other refs, "India, The Hans" (which shouldn't even be formatted like that) should be ommited
Fixed
  • Reliability looks ok, rest of the refs are good Aza24 (talk) 22:53, 29 August 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Thank you for the comments. I have now addressed most of them. As for the YouTube videos, they are links to the film themselves when no other source has character names. I did this after looking at other FLs, such as the filmographies of Suriya, Vijay and MGR, that also used links the same way. MSG17 (talk) 02:48, 30 August 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Ok. Upon looking further in WP:ICTFSOURCES, Idlebrain.com does not seem to be a reliable source and should be replaced. Aza24 (talk) 03:43, 30 August 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Mostly done Except for one instance where the source is an exclusive interview. --Ab207 (talk) 06:07, 30 August 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Seems fine to me. Pass for source review. Aza24 (talk) 06:25, 31 August 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Comments from TRM[edit]

Resolved comments from The Rambling Man (Hands! Face! Space!!!!) 18:28, 2 September 2020 (UTC)[reply]
WikiCup points to be claimed from this review.
  • Why isn't Needa linked?
There isn't an article on the film, and I don't think there is enough accessible information on the movie to make a properly sourced article.
No reason it shouldn't be red-linked though. The Rambling Man (Hands! Face! Space!!!!) 13:51, 2 September 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Actually, I meant Major, not Needa. If Needa isn't notable enough, fine, but I imagine Major is notable enough to be linked, albeit red. The Rambling Man (Hands! Face! Space!!!!) 13:52, 2 September 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Linked to Major (film). Its currently a redirect to the bio of the subject on which it is based, but would likely be an article after satisfying WP:NFILM. --Ab207 (talk) 17:57, 2 September 2020 (UTC)[reply]
  • Pokiri has different targets in the lead and the table.
Fixed
  • " set multiple box office records upon release[5][6][7] " such as?
Looking at my references and other information, the ""multiple" part really isn't specified beyond a few regional records. I have changed the wording to be clearer and focus on the bigger picture.
  • "cemented Babu's reputation as a "superstar"" I would attribute that claim to Vogue India. E.g. I have never heard of him, so "superstardom" is very much in the eye of the beholder.
Attributed.
  • "Babu took a long-term break for personal reasons" well he did a job the following year according to the table.
The film was released the following year, so it may have been in production at the same time as or even before Athidhi.
  • "at a time that was particularly harsh on other big-budget productions" reads odd to me, I guess you mean a number of other films with substantial budgets were box office failures?
Yes, that's what I mean.
  • " success[24] and earned Babu his fifth Filmfare Award for Best Actor – Telugu[25] as well as" awkward ref placements, can put them at the end of the sentence.
Fixed
  • "second highest grossing" hyphen needed.
Fixed
  • "substantial profits[32] despite " awkward ref placement.
Fixed
  • In a sortable table, items that are linked should be linked every time, not just the first instance because when re-ordering the table, it is not certain that the linked item will appear first.
Fixed

That's all I have on a first pass. The Rambling Man (Hands! Face! Space!!!!) 10:55, 31 August 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you for the review. I have responded to all your comments. MSG17 (talk) 19:56, 31 August 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Support by Lee Vilenski[edit]

I'll take a look at this article, and give some comments on how it meets the FA criteria in a little while. If you fancy doing some QPQ, I have a list of items that can be looked at here.Best Wishes, Lee Vilenski (talk • contribs) 07:02, 18 September 2020 (UTC)[reply]

  • Puri Jagannadh's action-thriller Pokiri - can we reword to avoid WP:SEAOFBLUE? Best Wishes, Lee Vilenski (talk • contribs) 07:02, 18 September 2020 (UTC)[reply]
  • Same with: psychological thriller 1: Nenokkadine and drama film Seethamma Vakitlo Sirimalle Chettu. Best Wishes, Lee Vilenski (talk • contribs) 07:02, 18 September 2020 (UTC)[reply]
  • failed to make back its budget - quite an informal way to say this. Best Wishes, Lee Vilenski (talk • contribs) 07:02, 18 September 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Changer to "failed to recover". Better? Kailash29792 (talk) 07:09, 18 September 2020 (UTC)[reply]
  • Sea of blue at Koratala Siva's political film Bharat Ane Nenu . Best Wishes, Lee Vilenski (talk • contribs) 07:02, 18 September 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Fixed
Yes, because he has also played a characters with multiple personalities/names. It is standard practice for Indian filmographies due to the high amount of films where the lead actor plays multiple roles. MSG17 (talk) 12:37, 18 September 2020 (UTC)[reply]
  • Is the unreleased yellow part of the MOS? A dagger on its own would be fine for me. Best Wishes, Lee Vilenski (talk • contribs) 07:02, 18 September 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Not mentioned at WP:FILMOGRAPHY but retained to maintain consistency with other FLs, Scarlett Johansson on screen and stage, Jake Gyllenhaal filmography for instance. -- Ab207 (talk) 12:48, 18 September 2020 (UTC)[reply]
