Nominator(s): Krish | Talk 03:10, 17 August 2015 (UTC)[reply]

I am nominating this for featured list because the list meets the criteria and provides a sourced and well-written listing of her films. Katrina Kaif is one of the most popular actresses in Bollywood. As usual, look forward to lots of constructive comments. Krish | Talk 03:10, 17 August 2015 (UTC)[reply]

  • Support Krish!, I've completed a thorough and comprehensive review and re-review of this list and I find that it meets Wikipedia:Featured list criteria and Wikipedia:Manual of Style/Lead section. The image of Kaif is licensed CC BY 3.0 and is therefore acceptable for use here, and both captions are suitable. This list is straight forward, and is in keeping with other featured filmography lists of Indian actors and actresses. The references used are also verifiable and in keeping with Wikipedia's citation formatting guidelines. My only suggestion would be to use "box office" consistently throughout, as I noticed in some places, you've hyphenated the term and in other places, you've left a space. Thank you for your hard work in crafting this list, and for your continued contributions to Wikipedia! -- West Virginian (talk) 04:23, 18 August 2015 (UTC)[reply]
Comments from Pavanjandhyala
  • Kaif in 2013 — sounds vague. Make it clear.
  • British-Indian actress? Did she act in any English films made by UK filmmakers?
She is British-Indian as her mother is English and her father is British Kashmiri. Cowlibob (talk) 09:51, 2 September 2015 (UTC)[reply]
Cowlibob, thanks for responding. Do you think rephrasing it as actress of British-Indian origin would be a better idea? Pavanjandhyala (talk) 14:58, 2 September 2015 (UTC)[reply]
The source in the lead [[2]] uses British-Indian and so does our GA article on her. I must confess that I'm not clear on how nationalities are determined on Wikipedia. Cowlibob (talk) 18:44, 2 September 2015 (UTC)[reply]
I have tried to solve this by adding "British born Indian actress". I don't know if it is grammatically correct.Krish | Talk 11:52, 3 September 2015 (UTC)[reply]
I find it okay, but if someone points at it, do not blame me. Pavanjandhyala (talk) 12:33, 3 September 2015 (UTC)[reply]
  • Not sure whether Ek Tha Tiger can be called a "thriller".
  • For JTHJ, is it just SRK? What happened to Anushka Sharma here? Also it is a romantic film directed by Yash Chopra, not a Chopra's romance. :)
  • Nothing about the critical and BO reception about Bang Bang! and Phantom is mentioned.
Both films were panned by critics and were moderate successful as both cannot recover their huge costs. She has starred in only four good films (Namastey London, New York, ZNMD, and Raajneeti) and rest were panned. I don't think we can write this. It would look repetitive, but i have tried to maintain neutrality, wherever i could.Krish | Talk 12:01, 3 September 2015 (UTC)[reply]
Okay then. Pavanjandhyala (talk) 12:33, 3 September 2015 (UTC)[reply]
  • I see one dead link and six redirects here. Kindly fix them.
Fixed. Cowlibob (talk) 18:44, 2 September 2015 (UTC)[reply]
  • I require sources that explicitly state the principal photography has commenced in the case of Fitoor, Jagga Jasoos and Kal Jisne Dekha. And, wasn't the last been titled as Baar Baar Dekho?
  • It is Sridhar Pillai for reference 2.
  • Author not mentioned for reference number 8.
  • Taran Adarsh and Raja Sen are not linked in reference numbers 13 and 17. Why?

Message me once all are done. Pavanjandhyala (talk) 15:17, 1 September 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Done. Thanks Pavanjandhyala.Krish | Talk 11:52, 3 September 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Well Krish!, I see that these are not yet done.

  • The dead link (reference number 5) isn't fixed yet.
  • Can anyone knowledgeable explain me in brief why Ek Tha Tiger is considered a thriller?
  • Are you sure you want to call JTHJ a Yash Chopra Romance?
  • It is "Sridhar" not "Shridhar" Pillai for reference 2.
  • Taran Adarsh and Raja Sen are not linked in reference numbers 14 and 18.
  • Fitoor and Jagga Jassoos require sources that filming has begun, like this. Also Baar Baar Dekho's filming has commenced and is not listed here.
Done. Also, we don't link names in references.Krish | Talk 13:00, 3 September 2015 (UTC)[reply]
We will link them. For example if you want to link Charulatha Mani, we will use "| last=Mani | first=Charulatha | authorlink=Charulatha Mani" in the reference. Also, no source has been provided about Jagga Jasoos filming. The source i gave you for Fitoor isn't formatted correctly. Pavanjandhyala (talk) 13:26, 3 September 2015 (UTC)[reply]
Done. Linked both the authors (Adarsh at first mention). Also, the same source is cited for both films and it says about her juggling between both films.Krish | Talk 13:40, 3 September 2015 (UTC)[reply]

I observe that all my concerns were met by the nominator and now i support this list's promotion to FL status. Pavanjandhyala (talk) 14:17, 3 September 2015 (UTC)[reply]

  • Can you find a way to reword an instance of "a critical and commercial failure" or try to avoid using "commercial" several times?♦ Dr. Blofeld 07:18, 15 September 2015 (UTC)[reply]
Done. Tweaked the first mention and removed a commercial term from another.Krish | Talk 09:45, 15 September 2015 (UTC)[reply]
  • Can you not rely so much on Bollywood Hungama? Try to replace some with newspaper sources for more variation if you can.♦ Dr. Blofeld 07:27, 15 September 2015 (UTC)[reply]
The problem is that we don't have many trusted sites for Indian films as compared to American such as Rotten Tomatoes, MetacritiC, AllMovie and rest of the others. BH is the only site which has a profile of each and every Bollywood film. I don't think citing reviews can help either. That's why.Krish | Talk 09:45, 15 September 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Support Good job!♦ Dr. Blofeld 11:26, 15 September 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Comments by Cowlibob

  • "Kaif had starred in a series of box-office hits, but her performances in them were generally criticised" What does this sentence mean? Seems out of place.
  • Starring opposite Akshay Kumar and Salman Khan are key to her early career. This isn't really emphasised in the lead.
It's mentioned that Kaif starred opposite Kumar for the first of many films but only the first is mentioned. The majority of films she has starred has been collaborations with these two actors and reading the lead you can't see that. Cowlibob (talk) 21:30, 21 September 2015 (UTC)[reply]
  • "Among these were two of the highest grossing productions" highest grossing of what, year? all time?
  • Have a different image than the main article.
  • According to the BH source she played Indu Pratap in Raajneeti.
  • Rina Kaif / Popdi Chinchpokli? Did she play two characters in Boom?

Cowlibob (talk) 19:04, 16 September 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Done.Krish | Talk 07:29, 17 September 2015 (UTC)[reply]
  • The BH source for Blue doesn't specify that Kaif's character was a cameo.
  • The Hindu source for Allari Pidugu doesn't specify that Kaif's character is called Swati.
  • I.V. Sasi -->I. V. Sasi
  • BH Source for Humko Deewana... says her character is called "Jia Yashwardhan"
  • Sify source for Balram doesn't specify her character's name
  • BH source for Namastey London says her character is simply "Jasmeet Malhotra"
  • Could you go through each of the films and ensure that everything is supported by the references including character name. Cowlibob (talk) 21:30, 21 September 2015 (UTC)[reply]
Done.Krish | Talk 12:00, 28 September 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Comments from Kailash

  • "Ref(s)" should be "Ref." within the tooltip template.
That's because some films are cited with multiple refrences.Krish | Talk 10:54, 20 September 2015 (UTC)[reply]
  • Name which segment of Bombay Talkies Kaif appeared in, and mention the director of that segment in the main article rather than a footnote. "Multiple directors" appears absurd.
Added about the segment in which she appeared. But, I think as a whole its a four director film. Its same in all other filmographies.Krish | Talk 10:54, 20 September 2015 (UTC)[reply]
Well, BH sources need not be archived as it's a popular film website, probably satying for the long time. And, the rest, i will do when i have time.Krish | Talk 10:54, 20 September 2015 (UTC)[reply]

That's it from me. Kailash29792 (talk) 19:00, 19 September 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Done. Krish | Talk 10:54, 20 September 2015 (UTC)[reply]
  • Support. Quite well cited list page. — Cirt (talk) 03:28, 26 September 2015 (UTC)[reply]
