Talk:Disha Patani

Birth date?
27 July 1995
 * Can this primary source be used to establish her date of birth as 13 June?
 * Regarding the year, there seems to be some confusion as this source refers to her as a 20 year old on 29 June 2016, so that makes her year of birth 1996.
 * This Miss India Indore 2013 profile page lists her age as 19, so that makes her year of birth as 1993 or 1994? -   Managerarc   ™ talk  15:56, 18 July 2016 (UTC)


 * Ans: Disha herself is celebrating her birthday on 13 June in the video!


 * Ans: 1996 means she was 15 at the time of entering Miss Indore and studying in a university for Bachelors! In her Aug, 2012 video she mentions studying BTech in Lucknow University.
 * https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nwIxhgyHNWA
 * Its common sense that her birthday is confirmed as 1992 or maybe 1990-91. A university student in 19-22 years old!

 * Miss India Indore 2013 was taken place in 2012! If she was 19 when she was selected that makes it 1992. The selection is done in spring-summer and her birthday was in June.


 * The real question is why are contributors of this page persisting on hiding her 1992 date of birth? Out of all the references, only 1992 evidence is being purposely ignored! (Managerarc) — Preceding unsigned comment added by 39.59.79.174 (talk • contribs)


 * Hi, one possibility would be to present the information as unclear. Note the article on Charo, for instance, which presents the factual disparity in lead. While we can sometimes use a primary source, we don't know that her "thanks" video was made on the same day as her birthday. Some people thank folks the next day, or after the weekend... It's possible, but it's not explicit and thus, requires our interpretation, which is problematic. Also the age disparity might not be a mistake. Some people lie about their ages. Just something to keep in mind. Regards, Cyphoidbomb (talk) 17:20, 18 July 2016 (UTC)


 * I feel we should leave it blank for the time being and wait for a better and more clear source. -   Managerarc   ™ talk  17:50, 18 July 2016 (UTC)
 * No objection. The sources presented above by the IP editor do not even closely meet our reliable sources guidelines. Cyphoidbomb (talk) 18:01, 18 July 2016 (UTC)

Cyphoidbomb/Managerarc, You have certainly proved your reliability!. Anyways I really feel sad for you. Clearly you have put great effort in hiding Disha Patani birth year for months now. Kudos to Wikipedia to let uneducated imbeciles do as they please. I found Disha Patani Lucknow University record that states her dob as 1990 as per her Identity card!!! Now this will give you a heart attack as you don't want to reveal her even as 24 yrs old! Her dob of 1992 is available on all Indian sites but don't worry as Disha Patani's 5 mins role in her only movie has failed and her career as an actor is over! Nobody will visit this page anyways nor anyone will care which year some "nobody" was born. She has been caught in media for lying about her age and changing her surname from PATNI to Patani.

 * What do you think about the first two sources given above by 39.59.92.73? -   Managerarc   ™ talk  09:22, 23 July 2016 (UTC)


 * , neither Managerarc nor myself have any emotions invested in this person's age situation. I mean, you're lobbing insults at her and her career as if we're supposed to give a crap and take it personally. It's laughably ridiculous. Moving past this distraction, there is a good possibility that the actress is fudging her age--it's certainly common. The problem is you've brought no reliable sources that say definitively what her birthdate is.


 * The only two sources I'd consider from that list are Times of India and Mid-Day. Neither of those says that she is lying, only that she is rumored to be lying. Wikipedia is not a rumor mill and all content about living people must be impeccably sourced. It's certainly nothing to get irritated about or to take personally. We've opted to avoid publishing the disputed information so that we are neither complicit in a possible deception nor potentially doing harm to her career.


 * When you can find sources that meet our reliable sources guidelines (i.e. no blogs), and that have independently confirmed her real birthdate, then and only then can we include the data. Adding a wall of poor references doesn't get us any closer. If you'd like another opinion, you're welcome to ask other editors at the BLP Noticeboard what they think, which should dispel any paranoid fantasy that we are hiding the truth. And going forward, please avoid baseless accusations. You should be commenting on content, not on the contributor. Thanks. Cyphoidbomb (talk) 15:22, 23 July 2016 (UTC)


 * For birth date, we can email to her facebook and twitter page managers.(In fact, I already did. Awaiting their response.) — Preceding unsigned comment added by Navneetiitv (talk • contribs) 22:54, 14 January 2017 (UTC)
 * If the subject's verified social media outlets posted a birthdate, that might be something we could consider, but we run the risk of becoming shills for a subject's promotional team if we were to blindly regurgitate what they publish as indisputable fact. If there is a discrepancy among reliable sources, or in this case, if reliable sources are saying specifically that something is fishy, then it would seem that being circumspect and presenting the range of information on the matter would be the correct approach as we've done in this article. Let's not forget that it is quite common for actors to manipulate their ages so that they seem younger for longer. For some examples of how we typically address age discrepancies, see Mariah Carey, Charo, and Doris Day. Cyphoidbomb (talk) 11:52, 15 January 2017 (UTC)

Her birthdate is 13 june 1993 Confirmed by her sister khushboo patani Angelicfairy1212 (talk) 18:15, 2 June 2017 (UTC)23december 1992

Age yet again
I don't understand this edit where you removed references, explaining "Minor Tweak and bug fixes about age references." Doesn't look like a minor change to me. It seems you've basically picked a birthdate for Patani when there is a clear published confusion about her age. Thoughts? Cyphoidbomb (talk) 15:01, 14 June 2018 (UTC)


 * Hey I thought that zee news reference was a correct reference and wanted to include it only. BTW zee news is India's renowned television and web portal news you can google it if you don't believe me brother . Sorry for the late reply brother was little busy in my web development internship. Tc Bye Jack Shukla AKA TKSS &#38; Paplesh. (talk) 19:58, 26 June 2018 (UTC)
 * Hi, I know about Zee, but there's a clear discrepancy as supported by Times of India and Mid-Day, both of which are also generally reliable. The fact that they're both expressing a "she might be lying" attitude is significant. Good luck with your internship! Regards, Cyphoidbomb (talk) 02:11, 27 June 2018 (UTC)
 * Hey ok i know i understood what you are trying say is that she must have not declared real dob to the media sources. Thanks for your wishes regarding my internship. Brother still i will try to take care of vandalism around wikipedia especially this article and Sanju film's article i will try to keep them away from vandalism. My main aim is to make true knowledge and a vandal free knowledge about bollywood to everyone. Jack Shukla AKA TKSS &#38; Paplesh. (talk) 11:29, 28 June 2018 (UTC)

 * Both of the birth days are reliably sourced. As you can see in the accompanying citations, the subject is probably faking her age. - Fylindfotberserk (talk) 15:47, 10 April 2019 (UTC)

Birthday
While I've restored the original birthdate values as per the status quo, the instagram post by Ayesha Dutt (verified account) in this source has a date of "13 June" 2020. Looks like the DD and MM are believable, unless she is making it up all since the this one mentions 27 July. I'm not going to the year part. Any comments on this? - Fylindfotberserk (talk) 12:25, 21 September 2020 (UTC)
 * I honestly don't know what the correct thing to do here is. On the one hand it would seem likely that if the press is reporting that her DOB is 1992 (making her older) and noting that her mother-in-law or whomever is wishing her a happy day, that would be more consistent with what is likely to be accurate. Maybe she misrepresented her DOB once and now is backpedaling? I will say that it's weird to change the day and month. Most people just fudge the year. As for waiting for her to announce her birthdate, I'm not even sure that is allowed, since she is a primary source. I asked about that here, but alas, nobody answered... Cyphoidbomb (talk) 17:47, 22 September 2020 (UTC)
 * The different month and date is complicating the matter. But I've seen people, one guy in college if I remember correctly, had two different sets of DoB. Lets ask for some more comments pinging . - Fylindfotberserk (talk) 18:26, 22 September 2020 (UTC)
 * I noticed the restoration of the age controversies category and I wonder if there should be prose that explains the discrepancy, since the infobox is supposed to summarise content found elsewhere. Do you think you might be willing to write something up? Something along the lines of "Different birthdates have been published for Patani. Source 1 says A, Source 2 says B. So-and-so source noted that she stated her age at ___ in YYYY." This is not very well constructed, I'm just kind of going off what my memory is of the sources. Regards, Cyphoidbomb (talk) 18:16, 17 December 2020 (UTC)
 * I don't think I'll be expanding something like that in the article, atleast not now. As for the CAT, yesterday I came across this, obviously many IPs previously tried to change Rawal's birthday. Now instead of outright reverting it, I checked the cat page and found a lot of entries, from Kangana Ranaut to Katrina Kaif, included, so I added this one which IMO is far more suitable there. If this is a restoration of a previous removal/revert, I can remove it now. - Fylindfotberserk (talk) 18:33, 17 December 2020 (UTC)
 * Never mind. Did it myself. Cyphoidbomb (talk) 19:20, 17 December 2020 (UTC)
 * Nice - Fylindfotberserk (talk) 19:23, 17 December 2020 (UTC)
 * This ref] from Republic TV supports the 6-13-1992 date. This ref from The Statesman (India) supports the 6-13 month/day, though it doesn't mention a year. This one from International Business Times also says June 13, 1992. OhNo itsJamie Talk 02:51, 20 April 2021 (UTC)

Pinging who is re-adding the different birthdays to the lead and infobox. Please discuss here before you edit any further. -- DaxServer (talk) 11:02, 24 June 2021 (UTC)

Birth year again
In her instagram post (see) third post she had balloons of completing 28 years. but existing sources say she was born in 1992, which means she is 29 years old. Which to keep? -- Parnaval (talk) 10:34, 14 June 2021 (UTC)


 * Hi, it is regarding the removal of the 'other birth date' (27 July 1995) in the current version as compared to version I came across before my hiatus . The other birth date is supported by the source . I don't see any consensus on its removal in the talk page here. Can someone please explain? - Fylindfotberserk (talk) 17:23, 22 November 2021 (UTC)
 * I haven't really been following this page. I did take a look now though, the cited source which is from 2017 states that she had claimed that her date of birth is 27 July 1995. So it's probably fair to say that at least that part is outdated since in 2021, she is publicly celebrating her birthday on 13 June. I couldn't find any recent sources for 27 July. The cited source also says that her date of birth might be 13 June 1992.
 * Going by recent coverage, her birthday seems to be unambiguously considered to be on 13 June but it's unclear if the year is 1992 or 1993. I found two sources about her 2021 birthday which have updated the article and likely changed her age from 29 to 28. and, both are updated articles, retain picture captions with the year 29 but state in text that she became 28. The second link which is from The Indian Express doesn't directly state that but qualifies it as being derived from photos with "balloons saying 28".
 * But there is another updated article which also qualifies it and states that she "blows out 29 candles on her birthday cake". All other sources that I found, regardless of whether they are updated or not, either directly state she turned 28 or that she turned 29. If you ask me, I don't know what to make of this, no source mentions both years and/or tries to clarify anything about her birth year or age.  Tayi Arajakate  Talk 15:09, 23 November 2021 (UTC)
 * I'd go with IndiaExpress (explicitly tagged as a generally reliable source), both of which say she turned 29 in 2021, for a birth year of 1992. OhNo itsJamie Talk 15:41, 23 November 2021 (UTC)
 * , sorry if the poor formatting of my comment gave the wrong impression. There is only one article (2nd link) from The Indian Express and it says 28 in a qualified sentence. The first link is from India Today which unambigiously says she turned 28. Both of those link however have a picture caption/sub-heading which says 29. Note that sub-headings, pictures, etc are like WP:HEADLINES and won't have editorial oversight. It's likely that they initially reported 29 and then changed it to 28. Tayi Arajakate  Talk 15:59, 23 November 2021 (UTC)
 * Hi everyone! Many weeks ago (maybe in june), I digged down in article history to see from where the confusion of birth year started. I found that before any reliable sources appeared there was continuous changes in birth year (92/93). I remember I found one IP edit with summary like "I know her personally,  her birth year is 1993". So I would assume this is good faith IP and info provided by that is true. But still after that birth year was continuously being changed. The first reliable source that appeared were from TOI and mid-day in 2017 which also gave her year as 1995 and said that she is lying and her real birth year is 1992 as seen in video (But in reality there was no such video in that article). Other than that I found this archive from november 2012 which says her age as 19, which implies birth year as 93.
 * So, to support 1993 we have that archive and a good faith IP edit. To support 1992 we have some sources which do not give any proof and have probably picked wrong year from wikipedia. As for 1995 year, I assume (yes, its original research) that she was referring to birthday of her sister khushboo patani and was misunderstood that time as she has never said that again. So I think we should only keep 1993 -- Parnaval (talk) 05:46, 24 November 2021 (UTC)
 * Can't believe some random IP claiming to know her. I'd say we keep both the "birth years" 1992 and 93, like it was in the MariahCarey article. Me, after discussing with as well as few others, did that in few other articles because of similar confusion. - Fylindfotberserk (talk) 16:30, 24 November 2021 (UTC)
 * That's fine with me. I find the whole deliberate age obfuscation thing to be tiresome; footnoting it like Mariah Carey makes it more clear that it's in question. OhNo itsJamie  Talk 16:35, 24 November 2021 (UTC)
 * I've done this now. Also as it's unclear, I've removed the date of birth from the lead since ambiguity like that draws excess attention to such aspects. Tayi Arajakate  Talk 22:47, 24 November 2021 (UTC)
 * OK. Keeping both is also fine. I just revisited that IP edit but saw that birth date is wrong so really can't trust it. -- Parnaval (talk) 05:23, 25 November 2021 (UTC)

Orphaned references in Disha Patani
I check pages listed in Category:Pages with incorrect ref formatting to try to fix reference errors. One of the things I do is look for content for orphaned references in wikilinked articles. I have found content for some of Disha Patani's orphans, the problem is that I found more than one version. I can't determine which (if any) is correct for this article, so I am asking for a sentient editor to look it over and copy the correct ref content into this article.

Reference named "bo": From Baaghi 3:  From Malang (film):  From List of Hindi films of 2020:  From Kiara Advani:  From Ek Villain Returns:  From Kaun Tujhe: </li> <li>From Radhe (2021 film): </li> </ul>

I apologize if any of the above are effectively identical; I am just a simple computer program, so I can't determine whether minor differences are significant or not. AnomieBOT ⚡ 05:00, 9 March 2023 (UTC)
