List of awards and nominations received by Vidya Balan

 * ''Nominator(s):—FRAN KY! 13:54, 26 October 2013 (UTC)

I am nominating this for featured list because I believe that it meets the FL criteria. —FRAN KY! 13:54, 26 October 2013 (UTC)

Quick question - Why do you refer to her as Vidya rather than Balan (compare List of awards and nominations received by Aishwarya Rai where she is referred to as Rai, List of awards and nominations received by Preity Zinta where she is referred to as Zinta etc...)?

 * Because "Balan" is the name of her father and not a family name and I see a majority of sources calling her "Vidya" rather than "Balan" (Here are some examples  ). Please also see read the first line of lead section of the actor's biography. —FRAN KY!  00:38, 3 November 2013 (UTC)

Comment: There are inconsistencies in the repeated sentence "She has won XXX awards from XXX nominations." When I count the nominations and awards, they do not seem to match the tables. Is there an explanation for how the sentences are counting awards and nominations, or are the sentences wrong? The award counts are also different in the Infobox. Now I'm thoroughly confused. I think the Infobox award list should be in the same order as the article's list of awards, unless there is a good reason to do otherwise. – Jonesey95 (talk) 21:54, 23 November 2013 (UTC) Comment: I have completed a copy edit of this article under the auspices of the Guild of Copy Editors. – Jonesey95 (talk) 03:07, 24 November 2013 (UTC)
 * The awards table were according to 2013 but the sentences and infobox were according to 2012.
 * Done.
 * There can be placed only 14 awards list in the award template but if we give the specific name of the award which're saved in the template (like Academy, Filmfare, IIFA etc) there can be more than 14. As you know the section of awards are more than 14, it won't be possible.
 * Thanks for your work. — FrankBoy (Buzz) 12:34, 24 November 2013 (UTC)
