Talk:Ash Sarkar

Birth name: Ashna Shamim Sarkar?
The England & Wales, Civil Registration Birth Index on Ancestry.com lists the birth of an Ashna Shamim Sarkar registered in May 1992 in Enfield. Mother's maiden name: Ahmad.

It seems plausible that this is her. Does anyone have any confirmation?

Removal of biographical information
Hi, I also reviewed this recent edit with the edit summary "Simplify" and noticed that it appears to remove substantial detail about Sarkar's family that appears based on multiple sources. Can you further explain the reasoning for the removal of biographical detail? Thank you, Beccaynr (talk) 15:52, 19 April 2023 (UTC)
 * I removed a pieces of information like her grandmother or her mother's occupation, because it doesn't seem notable enough or directly relevant to why Ash Sarkar has a Wikipedia article (e.g. politcal commentator etc). In the same way I retained the activitsm information about her month and distant aunt as it does seem relevant to her activities. This is just to keep things encylcopedic and concise rather than a full biography you might expect in a book.Seaweed (talk) 16:14, 22 April 2023 (UTC)
 * It's routine to include the professions of the subject's parents in a biographical article, because it gives the reader a sense of their social background. And in this case specifically, Sarkar regularly mentions her mother's job as informing her politics. I've restored the previous version of this section. –&#8239;Joe (talk) 04:26, 24 April 2023 (UTC)

No longer at Sandberg Institut
The website does not list her as a current tutor or lecturer. The link in the artilce suggests she was only there from 2019 to 2021 as a tutor 223.19.13.140 (talk) 12:52, 6 March 2024 (UTC)

Edit Request: Ash Sarkar Date of Birth
Hello. The page for Ash Sarkar provides only the year of birth (1992), and not the exact date of birth. Her birthday is 17th April. This should be added to make the article more precise. References: From 17th April 2021, celebrating her 29th birthday You will likely find similar posts from other years https://twitter.com/AyoCaesar/status/1383337610215448584

 * Red information icon with gradient background.svg Not done: please provide reliable sources that support the change you want to be made. User-generated sources like Twitter typically can't be used on Wikipedia. In this case, where the date of birth is not state explicitly, making this inference would also fall under original research.
