Talk:Rajat Sharma

Conflict of interest

Astha89, per your edit note here, you have a conflict of interest, and should not edit this article directly. Please read WP:COI, especially WP:COISELF, which says "You should not create or edit articles about yourself, your family, or friends.' Please come here, to the Talk page, and discuss the issues. Thanks! Jytdog (talk) 18:47, 31 March 2015 (UTC)

Controversies section

I think the following is the key objection by the conflicted editor:

In mid-2014, his name appeared in the attempted suicide case of one of his female employees Tanu Sharma, leading to a small protest in Noida Film City. On 2 July 2014 Rajat Sharma sent legal notice to victim stating that allegations were false and reserving the right to seek damages.

References

I searched for news about this, and found no mention of it major India sources like the Times of India. Source #2 above notes that there was little coverage, as well. I am not sure this is noteworthy enough to include in a BLP of Rajat Sharma. I am going to post this exact message in the BLP thread that the conflicted editor opened, Wikipedia:Biographies_of_living_persons/Noticeboard#Rajat_Sharma here, for community feedback. Issues about women in India have been sensitive, and it would be best if we had community input. Jytdog (talk) 13:26, 1 April 2015 (UTC)

I agree, I believe that the user was saying this had been settled in court, whereas this suggests it's still ongoing, and kind of implies Sharma is in the wrong. Only these sources seem to mention the controversy (as far as I could find), but I couldn't find anywhere saying the outcome of these things. Joseph2302 (talk) 13:30, 1 April 2015 (UTC)

Notice

You are informed that following defamatory wordings "Sharma has gained recognition not only for his impactful journalism but also for his close ties with influential political figures, including Prime Minister Narendra Modi." are there in this page and the same has been removed earlier by me. But it was again added by certain editor.

Those wordings are factually incorrect, without evidence and based on the opinions of writer of the original refrence article. While doing so no evidence of my close ties with Prime Minister Narendra Modi has been supplied.

This is viewed as highly libellious. You are advised to refrain from adding those unsubstatial informations. Rajat Sharma IndiaTV (talk) 07:45, 22 November 2024 (UTC)

@Rajat Sharma IndiaTV: Hello, Thank you for bringing your concerns to this Talk page. Your engagement helps ensure the article is accurate and adheres to Wikipedia's policies. However, I would like to clarify a few important points regarding editing and handling such issues on Wikipedia.

Conflict of Interest (COI) Policy:

Wikipedia’s Conflict of Interest (COI) guidelines discourage individuals from editing articles about themselves or entities they are closely associated with. This policy exists to maintain neutrality and prevent bias. Instead, concerns should be raised here on the Talk page, where neutral editors can evaluate and address them.

For example, Wikipedia’s co-founder, Jimmy Wales, faced a similar situation when his edits to his own article.

Challenging the Statement:

The statement in question was likely included based on a citation from The Caravan. If the reference provides opinions or conclusions not supported by verifiable evidence, this can indeed violate Wikipedia's Neutral point of view (NPOV) and Biographies of Living Persons (BLP) policies. To address this:

If The Caravan’s reporting is factually incorrect, we encourage providing a reliable source that directly counters the claim. The counter-evidence should come from a neutral, independent outlet with no close ties to you or India TV, to avoid concerns about bias.

Once credible evidence is presented, neutral editors can evaluate the information in question, and will remove, revise, or clarify if required.

Maintaining Article Integrity:

As you mentioned, the addition of unsubstantiated claims about your ties to political figures could be incorrect (if citations were provided). Editors here will closely review the source and its relevance. If the phrasing is editorialized or unsupported by the citation, it may warrant removal or rewording.

I encourage you to provide details or suggest changes here on the Talk page. Neutral editors will evaluate the issue while adhering to Wikipedia's core principles of verifiability, neutrality, and reliability.

Thank you again for addressing this matter appropriately on the Talk page. I.Mahesh (talk) 04:35, 27 November 2024 (UTC)
