Talk:Mukul Sinha

Removed Citation from a Fake News Site
The first paragraph under Controversies section was referenced from a fake news site - postcard(dot)news. There are many reputable Indian news sites that have mentioned postcard(dot)news to be a fake news site. Edwige9 (talk) 18:18, 28 November 2017 (UTC)

You can't simply say Postcard is a fake news then I can Say you "The Quint", "The Wire, "Daily0", "NDTV" are also fake news. It has been proven actually also. I can even provide you Source for that. So, you don't have any right to declare it is a fake news. Anmolbhat (talk) 18:29, 28 November 2017 (UTC)
 * Please provide the authentic links. My search doesn't show postcard news as a reliable site. Edwige9 (talk) 18:38, 28 November 2017 (UTC)

And my search doesn't show Alt News as a reliable site. It has been criticized for spreading fake news about Gujrat Riots.It is important to keep it for WP:NPOV  Anmolbhat (talk) 19:03, 28 November 2017 (UTC)
 * The question is not about AltNews. Your edits seem biased and your recent edits show that you don't understand Wikipedia editing policy. On one hand you criticize AltNews and on the other hand you cite it. The community have taken a note of it. Please comply with the editing policies. Edwige9 (talk) 19:15, 28 November 2017 (UTC)

I haven't cited Alt News anywhere. For the sake of WP:NPOV it is important to mention that he had spread the fake news on Gujrat.I don't understand why are you opposing it. Anmolbhat (talk) 19:31, 28 November 2017 (UTC)

Removal of "Controversies" section
The section was, firstly, definitely a NPOV violation. The references for the claims made in the section were mostly not reliable sources. Of the 5 in that section, 2 were reliable, and 3 were obviously click-bait sites who cannot be considered bringers of reliable information. The two reliable ones were the source that said Mukul died of cancer, and the article from Firstpost which was SUPPORTIVE of Mukul Sinha, and not saying he was a spreader of fake news. Please feel free to contest this, as it's better to discuss it here then edit war in the mainspace. Happy editing!  Adotchar &#124; reply here 22:21, 28 November 2017 (UTC)

note re changes
I did some work on the article; started by fixing grammar and removing some overly dramatic language. I moved several bits of information around, to make the article flow better time wise. Nothing was deleted apart from the claim Sinha died from a heart attack, as every cite says it was lung cancer. The bit about the exit polls went too, as it appears to be OR/Synthesis implying that the results gave Sinha the supposed heart attack that he didnt die from.Curdle (talk) 05:30, 29 November 2017 (UTC)
