Please change the text to show her current ranking as No.1 and not No.2 as stated. Change to "Her current Rank is No.1" Reason: She reached the final of India Open yesterday and her ranking has now gone up.

Removal of the list of career titles from the fact box
I feel the presence of career titles in the left side quick fact box makes it long and cluttered. This is also irrelevant as the same information is captured in the tables towards the end. We could keep the important ones like Olympics and Asian Games there, but the entire list of super series titles is unnecessary. Most of the badminton players pages adhere to this philosophy which makes their pages look more elegant and professional. See Lin Dan and Lee Chong Wei. What do you guys think?

 * Support - The pages of her peers don't mention all career titles in their infoboxes either: Li Xuerui, Wang Shixian, Carolina Marín. More importantly, the purpose on Manual of Style on Infoboxes states "...wherever possible, present information in short form, and exclude any unnecessary content", so I'd say be bold! ← scribble ink  talk 20:52, 31 March 2015 (UTC)

Recent revert
Hello,. Before removing the BLP violation, I did check the source mentioned by you. She states that "All of them are close to me because most are Jats ...", but where does she state that she herself is a Jat? - NitinMlk (talk) 18:37, 8 June 2021 (UTC)

, You need to read the full quote:

"The Haryana Government has in the last two years offered several incentives-the highest prize money for medal winners at the Commonwealth Games and a car. This is a welcome sign for sportswomen as it gives them new recognition. All of them are close to me because most are Jats and some of them have told me that I, only 20, am an inspirational icon for them because of the traditional mindset about girls and the khaps that treat women as inferior."

I would say that even if its not proper self-identification, but still, thats quite close to it. She says that all of other athletes are close to her because they are Jats (implies she is also a Jat). Then she uses the term khap which is essentially a Jat concept. Apart from this source, there are plenty of other sources which describe Saina as a Jat. So considering all these points, we should not remove her caste from Early Life section.

 * , we cannot do WP:SYNTHESIS or WP:Original Research because that's what you are doing here. I know there are many reliable sources which mention her as Jat, but we need self-identification, which is missing here. Thanks. - NitinMlk (talk) 19:00, 8 June 2021 (UTC)
 * I agree with you. @Shinjoya did a WP:SYNTHESIS and has reached an WP:OR. This statement should be removed as it is a clear violation of WP:BLP, unless and until an WP:RS is provided that clearly states it. -- DaxServer (talk) 20:37, 8 June 2021 (UTC)
