Talk:Manushi Chhillar

Semi-protected edit request on 19 November 2017
"Chhillar was born to doctor parents in india.." Her parents seem to be doctorate holders, not doctors. So it is incorrect to put so. Please edit Jithin k sreedharan (talk) 14:01, 19 November 2017 (UTC)

Height
This is regarding the recent alteration in the subject's height, and addition of three poor sources by an anonymous user. So I will discuss all three of those sources here. IMDB is a WP:UGC – see Reliable sources/Perennial sources. And the dubious, poorly written StarsVilla's 'wiki' actually states that "Manushi’s height is said to be 5 feet. eight inches", before contradicting itself in the same article. The third source is of Femina – which just mentions "5.7", without mentioning units, although they might have meant 5.7 ft – was declared unsuitable for sourcing her height at WP:RS/P (see here). All in all, these three poor sources are unsuitable for sourcing BLP-related information.

BTW, I will add a couple of reliable sources from Vanity Fair and Campaign, as the source of International Business Times – which was removed by the anonymous user in their aforementioned edit – is not generally considered reliable. - NitinMlk (talk) 18:58, 24 May 2019 (UTC)

Birthplace
Manushi Chhillar's birthplace was changed on 25 February 2022 from Rohtak to Bamnoli village. But that village is her ancestral/paternal village, and she has not spent even a single day there yet.

She was born in Rohtak and her birthplace was explicitly reported by nearly all the national newspapers when she became Miss world in 2017. Here are some of them that I have found by a quick search: The New Indian Express; Hindustan Times; The Times of India; The Pioneer; Business Standard; Zee News; The Sunday Guardian; & The Free Press Journal. Even her uncle (who is a doctor by profession) has mentioned her birthplace as Rohtak.

The subject is in the news for the last few months due to her Bollywood debut and Indian media regularly copy-paste from Wikipedia. So beware of WP:MIRRORS that may have appeared from 25 February 2022 onwards. BTW, some serious steps need to be taken to tackle regular WP mirroring by Indian/Pakistani media. - NitinMlk (talk) 21:13, 2 June 2022 (UTC)
