Bharat Bhushan Bhalla → Bharat Bhushan – WP:COMMONNAME: subject performed under the stage name Bharat Bhushan and is referred to as such in all sources I could find. Certes (talk) 17:35, 14 March 2018 (UTC)

Comment by proposer: an alternative is to move this page to Bharat Bhushan (actor) and to move Bharat Bhushan (disambiguation) to Bharat Bhushan. Pinging, who may wish to write in support of this option. Certes (talk) 17:35, 14 March 2018 (UTC)


 * And so is Prof Bharat Bhushan. So, are we deciding to give the simpler title Bharat Bhushan to an actor, and not to a scientist who made contributions to the advancement of this world? The actor is great, nothing against him, but at least it is expected from Wikipedia to be unbiased towards actors rather to an actual scientist. I strongly recommend giving the general title Bharat_bhushan to a page where different options are given. Let's reach a consensus that there are many famous Bharat Bhushans. Let's not give any one of them a higher preference over other.Devgurera (talk) 21:41, 15 March 2018 (UTC)
 * I hope other editors can help us decide whether there is a WP:primary topic. The actor has far more incoming wikilinks but search engine hits are similar. As for |Bharat_Bhushan_(academic)|Bharat_Bhushan_(yogi)|Bharat_Bhushan|Bharat_Bhushan_(disambiguation) page views, Bharat Bhushan was the most read title when it led to the actor's page, whilst Bharat Bhushan Bhalla has taken over since the page move.

Chocolate faced is derogatory
This is not acceptable:

"He was the first chocolate-faced good-looking star of Hindi films."

This is what Wiktionary says about the meaning of "chocolate-faced":

"One whose face is covered in chocolate. (rare, offensive, derogatory, ethnic slur) A black person."

Firstly, it is wrong -- it implies there were no Indian stars who were dark before Mr. Bhushan (most likely false). But, more importantly, it is just blatantly racist and derogatory. I imagine Wikipedia should have higher standards than that. 2601:19B:B00:13E0:F5E8:E7C8:8023:1D3C (talk) 00:00, 14 July 2023 (UTC)
