Mentioning Caste[edit]

Dear Editors!
There has been a discussion on India Portal related to mentioning of caste of subjects. The point is that mentioning caste of people, who have nothing to do with their caste, is found to be unnecessary by few editors. Hence the caste of the subject person needs to be deleted from the biography. I am not deleting the caste as of now but am only posting this here so that the regular editors of this article are well aware of it beforehand and no edit-wars take place. For details of discussion held on the portal please refer Wikipedia_talk:Noticeboard_for_India-related_topics#Mentioning_caste_of_Individuals. Your views if any are welcome there or even here.
And.... as the reasons of exclusion of caste pointed out were "irrelavant to notability of subject person", "privacy of the subject person", "inclusion of caste is like branding individuals", etc. other information included in the article which also fall under these cases will also be removed after discussions. Examples of it included religion, non-notable spouse's and children's and parents' information, previous occupation, lived in places, non-notability related educational qualification, etc.
Your views on this are also welcome here or at the India portal. -Animeshkulkarni (talk) 11:56, 2 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Not here, please. There is a community discussion taking place at WT:INB and I would advise people to read the entire discussion before forming an opinion because the above summary is incorrect. Nothing more need be said here. - Sitush (talk) 01:48, 4 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Pseudoscience and controversies[edit]

The quantities healing part mentioned in the research part is in fact a pseudoscience concept and should not be dealt there. He has also been a part of controversies because of his pseudoscientific and irrational comments on scientific theories. These must also be included in the encyclopaedic article about a person.

Content substantially sourced from biodata[edit]

Content, as it stands, is repetitive and heavily sourced (almost verbatim) from the biodata section of personal website. Also some content in career section originates in edits from a similarly named account hegdebm. That user hasn't addressed WP:COI issues at all, being inactive for a long time. I'm going to reduce resumé-like portions into summary of notable work and add better references. --Hemanthah (talk) 19:36, 13 November 2021 (UTC)[reply]

MRCP, FRCP[edit]

Are the MCRP, FRCP claims verified? AltruisticHomoSapien (talk) 03:45, 19 November 2021 (UTC)[reply]

No, sourcing is from a self published CV. I tried hard to find secondary sources, but all repeat from that biodata. Hemanthah (talk) 06:30, 19 November 2021 (UTC)[reply]
