Shetty
Hi, you recently removed a list of people bearing the name Shetty from the article that concerns the name. I have reverted you because to the best of my knowledge it is common practice to include such things. I realise that your edit summary tried to offer an explanation for the removal. Would it be possible for you to elaborate upon it at Talk:Shetty, preferably with pointers to what ever policy it is that you feel justifies the removal? We have a wikiproject for people interested in surnames etc and I may ask for guidance on their talk page, when I remember what the thing is called! Thanks. - Sitush (talk) 18:51, 27 August 2012 (UTC)
 * Again, I am at a loss to your edits at Shetty. Bearing in mind WP:V and WP:RS, why did you remove the citations? And why did you consider the descriptions to be inaccurate? - Sitush (talk) 10:35, 28 September 2012 (UTC)
 * ... and yet again you have repeated a poor edit. Sadhu Shetty was a notorious underworld don/gangster etc, his article says that and brief descriptions are helpful in lists. I find it telling that you removed the "gangster" description but left descriptions such as "actress" that are associated with other people. Wikipedia has had substantial problems in the past with POV-pushing by members of the Bunt community: whitewashing certain elements counts as that and I suggest that you tread carefully because such actions have in the past caused people to be blocked from contributing. If you wish to put short descriptors against the names of all the people whom you have recently added to the list then that is fine. You should also provide reliable sources for them. - Sitush (talk) 08:53, 3 October 2012 (UTC)

Sadhu Shetty
If you repeat your whitewashing at Shetty, as evidenced in this pair of edits, then I shall seek intervention from an administrator in order to deal with your disruption. I have restored the content which, as you have previously been told, is not a violation of WP:BLP and is in accordance with our policy that Wikipedia is not censored. "Respect" for Shetty's surviving family is of no relevance to this particular situation: the man was a gangster and that is reliably sourced. - Sitush (talk) 13:56, 13 November 2012 (UTC)
