"Career" section of the article obviously filled with lies.[edit]

All three of his films have been commercially unsuccessful and universally panned by critics. There has never been any praise for things like "innovative visual style of storytelling" or "being far ahead of its time." — Preceding unsigned comment added by Theintuitus (talk • contribs) 16:30, 18 July 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Removed content[edit]

In this edit I removed content about the plagiarism accusation against Kunder. While I don't object to the mention of plagiarism accusations if they have merit, the brief write-up that was added presents a single-side of a controversy. This fails WP:NPOV right off the bat. What's missing is: How did Kunder respond? Did he deny it? Did he present any evidence in support of his position? Was the accusation heard in any official forum? What was the disposition of that hearing? Were any lawsuits filed? Etc. Was it ultimately decided that he did, or did not, plagiarise? These things are important, because if he was found to not have plagiarised, then the entire thing is relatively pointless. If the matter is unresolved, or was resolved against him, then the content might be worth including. But saying "He was accused of plagiarism" without any balance to the tale puts a negative stain on the subject, and that contravenes WP:NPOV.

I also reverted this edit, where the user at 124.123.105.70 removed content about Kunder's Tweets, which apparently gained attention from the media.[1][2] He even received recent attention here and here and here. The anonymous user removed the content with the explanation "Not relevant and against the policies". How is it not relevant? This is an article about Shirish Kunder, and thus, his noteworthy activities. If he's received significant media coverage for his tweets, I'd say it's probably noteworthy. Secondly, what "policies" would this be violating?

To me both of the edits I reverted looks like a continuation of the usual long game to throw shade on the subject and remove any positive accomplishments. Cyphoidbomb (talk) 03:01, 19 June 2018 (UTC)[reply]
