Tamannaah filmography

 * Nominator(s): Pavanjandhyala (talk) 11:53, 15 October 2016 (UTC)

I created this list in June 2015 and actively reworked on it in April 2016. It has been copy-edited twice: once by Jaguar, and later by Twofingered Typist (GOCE). I have postponed it from nominating because of edit wars. Currently, the article is relatively stable. I'm looking forward for constructive comments, if any. Thank you.

Update — Notified at the following talk pages: Noticeboard for India-related topics, WikiProject Maharashtra, WikiProject Mumbai, WikiProject Actors and Filmmakers, and WikiProject Women. Regards, Pavanjandhyala (talk) 12:05, 15 October 2016 (UTC)

Comments from FrB.TG making a very brief return to FLC. I don't intend to revisit this nominations. Here are a few thoughts you can consider or dismiss:
 * "Tamannaah's breakthrough roles in Telugu and Tamil cinema came with Happy Days and Kalloori" - a respectively is needed here.
 * Done Added.


 * "Tamannaah had five roles in 2009 including:" - I think instead of the colon we need a comma before the word "including". I have not seen colon being used like this not at least in these examples.
 * Done Removed.


 * "one of the most sought-after actresses" - I think popular would do better than sought-after which reads kind of informal.
 * Done Changed. Pavanjandhyala (talk) 17:07, 25 October 2016 (UTC)


 * "a nomination in the Best Actress – Telugu category at the 59th" - in a lead consisting of only three paragraphs the usage of the word "category" is very frequent.
 * Reduced the occurrences to two.


 * "She appeared in four films in the following year" - the second "in" is unnecessary.
 * Done Removed.


 * " While Veeram was a profitable venture,[21] Entertainment was only a moderate success,[22] the remaining underperformed at the box office" - "while" is a conjunction used to combine two sentences, not three.
 * Good catch. Fixed it.


 * "Tamannaah played Avanthika, a warrior princess" - we do not need the name of her role unless it is a part of any literature or a character of historic significance. I see that some more are repeated in the next sentences; better leave them in the table.
 * Done as suggested.


 * For some reason, rowspan is discouraged in filmographies.
 * I don't think so. It is harmless enough; i'm able to sort the coloumns with no issues.


 * For bilingual films, I don't think you need to make two rows for them eg instead of Hindi Tamil, you can simply use a comma i.e. Hindi, Tamil.
 * I don't think that it would be helpful. A sortable coloumn, Language may be affected because of this.


 * I think references look better in the center position.
 * Fixed it.

Support Although this needs a bit of work, I don't intend to return to this nomination so this is up to the nominator whether to consider my points or disagree with them explaining why. Overall this is a decent effort which with some work can be brought to FL status. Good luck. – FrB.TG (talk) 16:20, 25 October 2016 (UTC)
 * Thanks for taking time and providing some comments. Considering that the reviewer shall not return, i should not expect anything more. Regards, Pavanjandhyala (talk) 09:58, 27 October 2016 (UTC)

Support Good list. Although I would prefer if the primary sources were replaced for some awards and films. Cowlibob (talk) 10:52, 7 November 2016 (UTC)


 * Support My comments have been resolved. All the best. - Vivvt ( Talk ) 07:03, 16 November 2016 (UTC)

Comments from Kailash
 * Tamannaah performed an item number in the Kannada-Telugu bilingual Jaguar: "Sampige", but that is the Kannada title. I found that the song was titled "Mandara Thailam" in Telugu, but can a source be added for this? Even a video (but from a verified YouTube channel) will do.
 * Done


 * "Kannada language" redirects to "Kannada".
 * Done


 * I don't know, but is it fine to include her appearance in Jaguar in the lead? I say this due to it being her only Kannada film.
 * Well Kailash, it is as good as Aishwarya Rai only Telugu film appearance. :)


 * , would it be better if the lead linked to the languages rather than industries, like this? Tamannaah is an Indian actress known for her work in Telugu and Tamil language films. She made her debut in 2005 at the age of 15 with Chand Sa Roshan Chehra in Hindi. Kailash29792 (talk) 14:28, 21 November 2016 (UTC)
 * Agreed &mdash; Vensatry (talk) 15:49, 21 November 2016 (UTC)
 * Changed as per suggestion. Pavanjandhyala (talk) 05:59, 22 November 2016 (UTC)

Are you both satisfied with the responses to your comments? -- Pres N  20:27, 29 November 2016 (UTC)
 * Your take on the first point (under the source review)? Btw, doesn't work anymore. &mdash; Vensatry  (talk) 11:39, 2 December 2016 (UTC)
 * Yeah, right now that cite is actually to... the event itself. It's completely non verifiable without a time machine. You need a recording or a 3rd-party reference to refer to. Even a valid broadcast information would work, like Cite TV episode. -- Pres N  16:49, 2 December 2016 (UTC) (Oh, and  and  are both just redirects to , and I got your message, so... pretty sure ping still works (usually).)
 * Well, if that is the case, i have removed the reference and the content associated with it. And, it is unlikely that i may find something actually fit. So, anything else from my side to be addressed? Pavanjandhyala (talk) 17:50, 2 December 2016 (UTC)
 * You still have three refs. &mdash; Vensatry  (talk) 19:20, 3 December 2016 (UTC)
 * That's because there are no RSs (like Rediff, TOI, The Hindu, Hindustan Times) that show the actors' character names, as well as who the director is. There are reviews from IndiaGlitz (which is deemed unreliable by WP) however. —  Ssven2  Speak 2 me 11:44, 4 December 2016 (UTC)
 * I've provided links from YouTube (obviously from verified publishers). Anything else? Pavanjandhyala (talk) 10:53, 5 December 2016 (UTC)
 * For YT links, you've used both 'cite AV Media' and 'cite web' templates. &mdash; Vensatry (talk) 08:34, 7 December 2016 (UTC)
 * Rectified on Pavan's behalf. —  Ssven2  Speak 2 me 11:00, 7 December 2016 (UTC)

The publisher/work parameters are still inconsistent. &mdash; Vensatry (talk) 06:23, 9 December 2016 (UTC)
 * Can you be more specific? —  Ssven2  Speak 2 me 07:31, 9 December 2016 (UTC)
 * In YT links. &mdash; Vensatry (talk) 08:45, 9 December 2016 (UTC)
 * Just rectified them. —  Ssven2  Speak 2 me 09:06, 9 December 2016 (UTC)


 * Comments from The Rambling Man

Comments from Kailash
 * Tamannaah played an extra in Enakku 20 Unakku 18, but I can't find any English RS to prove it. and, will either of these do?  and .  Kailash29792 (talk)  12:18, 9 December 2016 (UTC)
 * The source doesn't say so. &mdash; Vensatry (talk) 12:21, 9 December 2016 (UTC)
 * Try using YouTube videos as refs. She's there in the songs "Gama Gama" and "Oru Nanban Irundhaal". Ironic, isn't it? Trishtrashers played Simran's friend in Jodi and here Tamannahspeaks plays Trishtrashers' friend. —  Ssven2  Speak 2 me 12:37, 9 December 2016 (UTC)
 * I hate this. Any police officer or high court would pass the videos as credible references (even though they are fan uploads), but (scoffs) Wikipedia wouldn't do the same. Now if we say Chand Sa Roshan Chehra was Tamannaah's debut film, it is wrong. But if we say it was her debut in a major role, others will be like, "what did she do before?" and that puts us in limbo. Was Tamannaah credited onscreen in Enakku 20 Unakku 18? Kailash29792 (talk)  12:51, 9 December 2016 (UTC)
 * Uncredited. I tried searching for other sources (in both English and Tamil), but none of them seem to say that Tamannah had an uncredited role in the film. —  Ssven2  Speak 2 me 13:05, 9 December 2016 (UTC)
 * If we can't find a reliable source to support that part, you could just modify the lead to not say absolutely that the Chand Sa Roshan Chedra role was her debut, avoiding the issue altogether. For purposes of moving this FLC towards a conclusion, I suggest doing that. The extra role can always be added later if a good source presents itself. Giants2008  ( Talk ) 23:13, 17 December 2016 (UTC)
 * I've changed it accordingly. Do check if it is okay. —  Ssven2  Looking at you, kid 08:28, 18 December 2016 (UTC)
