Ratings[edit]
Should ratings be spelt out in numbers or words. See Wikipedia:Manual_of_Style/Dates_and_numbers#Numbers (it says words). DareshMohan (talk) 01:41, 3 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Hello, Daresh  Mohan. I would use numbers (obviously for audience ratings; and even for XXX out of XXX stars). It's not indicated in MOSFILMS;  I've had a look at a couple of GA film articles and they all use some use numbers. Maybe drop a line on the TP of the Film Project, I am absolutely certain you will receive a detailed answer.Mushy Yank (talk) 10:17, 3 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Ok, but the answers weren't that detailed, you can see Wikipedia_talk:WikiProject_Film/Indian_cinema_task_force#Reception_section_ratings_should_be_in_words. I've also informed RangersRus on his talk page but the amount of film articles with numbers for critical ratings are huge to say the least. DareshMohan (talk) 08:07, 5 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Hello, just try the Film project general talk.  But I think the MOS is quite clear when it mentions "Sport scores and vote tallies should be given as numerical figures" (I consider film ratings to be in that category); but allow me to ping @Butlerblog:; if they don't know the answer, maybe leave a note there. (Thanks, Butlerblog). Another think that can be done, as I can see a dispute mentioned on the Indian ITF TP, is leave a note on the MOS TP to ask for clarification and even changes in the wording of the section (adding "ratings" and even film/products ratings) to the page.  Best, Mushy Yank (talk) 16:59, 5 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Hmmm... If there's a specific MOS item on that for Film or TV, I'm not sure I'm aware of it. Even the TV MOS (which I more familiar with) doesn't specifically state an answer (I would expect it to be in MOS:TVRECEPTION).  But that being said, my inclination is that using numbers for ratings is standard practice.  ButlerBlog (talk) 22:16, 5 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Thanks a lot!@Butlerblog: (I saw other examples of GA/FA using letters (after I wrote my message); but I'm not sure numbers (that I too use!) are not acceptable). BestMushy Yank (talk) 22:23, 5 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]
@RangersRus: I may have misinformed you on your talk page. DareshMohan (talk) 00:03, 8 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]
@DareshMohan: Thank you for updating me. I'm glad this is clear now. RangersRus (talk) 00:46, 8 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]Film articles with barely any sources[edit]
Ever since Indiaglitz was listed as unreliable (Wikipedia:WikiProject_Film/Indian_cinema_task_force#Guidelines_on_sources) some of the film articles I created like Naanu Neenu Jodi and Nesi (film) don't have much sourcing. DareshMohan (talk) 12:32, 7 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Hello, DareshMohan, Yes, that's a bit of a worry (I see that 123telugu is listed there in red too....isn't that too much??) But the articles are sourced, and the films could meet other requirements for notability (e.g. Naanu Neenu Jodi might be considered notable because it is a noted role in the career of Vijay Raghavendra). If the new assessment of sources leads to a vast campaign of content removal and potential deletions then maybe the assessment is not correct! Or maybe the requirements for Indian films need to be adjusted per WP:BIAS. I would have thought the 3 listed websites to be at least worth of a case-by-case appraisal, but that's just me. Mushy Yank (talk) 12:45, 7 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Indeed, "the requirements for Indian films need to be adjusted per WP:BIAS". And RangersRus must control his purging of such sources. Viggy cannot and should not be deleted from Kannada film articles since according to this, "Those days only Viggy.com and Chitraloka.com were online portals for Kannada films".

Rithvik Jothi Raj
moved by an invalid AfC reviewer (only 100ish edits) [1]
Monisha Mohan Menon
only 1 short film as director, 1 feature film as actor. The short film was reportedly well appreciated for its LGBTQ theme. DareshMohan (talk) 05:39, 13 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Hello, The first might be OK if the roles are really considered significant (he won an award for his first role) but it's not obvious; the second does not look like a NACTOR pass. If her short was really very notable, she might meet DIRECTOR (but it would take some work to prove it if that is possible). Mushy Yank (talk) 09:16, 13 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Can you find any sources for Preity Mukhundhan? DareshMohan (talk) 19:15, 15 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Hello, I see the coverage related to Star and her 2 upcoming films:  the upcoming films are in theory considered notable enough to have a page so I'm ready to admit she's a notable actress....A lot of coverage is like what follows: https://english.mathrubhumi.com/movies-music/news/aasa-kooda-fame-preeti-mukundan-to-star-in-maine-pyar-kiya-1.9861455; https://www.ottplay.com/news/maine-pyar-kiya-preity-mukhundhan-tamil-actress-malayalam-debut/b3f4d988c4994. She might be OKyish for GNG....Mushy Yank (talk) 19:26, 15 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Why I hate creating drafts / articles for people: see Draft:Rithvik Jothi Raj (moved to articlespace by invalid AfC creator) and User:Rithvik Actor's messy handling of the draft. Without a doubt, COI ruins Wikipedia, and it needs to be better handled. I thought maybe I could create draft for people I thought weren't notable yet and move it to article down the line but man I would rather it get auto deleted after 60 days and be rewritten. The fact that every actor even kids in India too have managers is insane and the fact that they would be active on Wikipedia is annoying.

Please revisit this AFD and see the review of the sources provided. - UtherSRG (talk) 14:54, 17 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]
I did. But I'll stand by my Keep per WP:NACTOR and the sources presented in the AfD by Anuwrites, for example, allow to verify he passes that specific guideline in my view (significance of 2 roles in notable productions). Also note that recent changes (including a lot of much-used sources in India-related film/TV articles made "red"; see my talk page above, btw) at  ICTF are based on what could appear to be a rather limited consensus. Maybe they're right, maybe they're not, but the consensus cannot be said to be broad. And it seems quite radical. -Mushy Yank. 18:26, 17 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]I have sent you a note about a page you started[edit]
