@Cyphoidbomb: I do not quite agree with your explanation in this edit, sir. Mehreen Pirzada is an "actress" working in Telugu "cinema." So its not unreasonable to think that anyone who came looking for the actress would be interested to be looking in what Telugu cinema is, which makes it primary topic in this context. Its also highly unlikely that any readers who visit the article (fair to assume mostly Indians) would not know about Telugu language (spoken by 85 million people, official language of two Indian states). In any case
1. If the link leads to Telugu cinema, one who looking for Telugu language finds it on very first line of the article!
2.But if the link leads to Telugu language, the one looking for Telugu cinema is lost! (Because Telugu cinema is nowhere found in the Telugu language article!)
Therefore its fair and reasonable to lead the average reader to Telugu cinema.--Ab207 (talk) 20:13, 29 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]

The average non-Indian reader is not going to know what "Telugu" is. That's the word we're defining. Taking them to a tangential page about the cinema is pointless if they don't know what the base word means. Further, your removal of "-language" from the lead is ignorantly removing a compound adjective which clarifies to the reader what the unfamiliar word "Telugu" is. See "Hindi-language" at the NY Times or "Tamil, Telugu, and Malayalam-language films" at The Sun or even "Tamil-language film" at Scroll, an Indian publication. Even they don't take for granted that someone knows what "Telugu" is. We do not write for Indians, we write for a global readership who may or may not be Indian, and thus, we communicate using complete thoughts and don't rely on wikilinks to define concepts. Wikilinks exist for readers to get more information about the subject that is linked, i.e. the language. They shouldn't have to go to two pages per your #1 suggestion to find out what "Telugu" is. Remember also that the majority of the world probably thinks that Indians speak "Indian" or "Hindu" (yes, I know that's a religion, that's my point) and have no idea there are scores of languages throughout the nation.

Thank you for the explaination, things are more clear now. --Ab207 (talk) 21:15, 29 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]

About following statement:

"In March 2021, Pirzada got engaged to Bhavya Bishnoi, son of Adampur, Hisar MLA Kuldeep Bishnoi, and grandson of former Haryana state Chief Minister Bhajan Lal. Their wedding was planned for late 2021, but was postponed due to the COVID-19 pandemic in India. The pair called off their engagement in early July 2021."

Reasoning:

Undue Weight (WP:UNDUE): The engagement and its cancellation, while notable at the time, no longer hold relevance to Pirzada's public life or career.

Privacy (WP:BLPPRIVACY): Despite Bhavya Bishnoi's political connections, the engagement was a personal event, and its inclusion could infringe on the privacy of both parties, especially since it was called off and no longer has public significance.

This edit would ensure the biography remains focused on more relevant aspects of Pirzada's career and public life.

About following statement from the article:

"In 2023, she engaged with Chiranjiv Makwana and in 2024 she recently got married with Chiranjiv Makwana in Hyderabad city."

Reasoning:

Verifiability (WP:V): The information is based on a single news outlet report and lacks confirmation from the individual or multiple reliable sources, thus not meeting the verifiability standards.

Privacy (WP:BLPPRIVACY): The information is unconfirmed and could infringe on privacy if not verified.

Undue Weight (WP:UNDUE): As the information lacks broad coverage and confirmation, it may not be appropriate to include it in the article.

This edit ensures that the article remains accurate and respects privacy while adhering to Wikipedia's reliability and verifiability standards. W170924 (talk) 04:54, 18 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@FarmanH: Could you please clarify the grounds on which you restored the content?W170924 (talk) 09:10, 18 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

no need to clarify, if its wrong then discusse the same in talk page of the actress, dont remove whole paragraph, there are three references attached with same info. FarmanH (talk) 09:13, 18 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@FarmanH: In the case of second, only DNA is reliable, while other sources are not. Additionally, neither the actor, nor their representatives have made any statements on the matter. Without proper coverage, how can we determine if it's true or not? The first paragraph is in violation of (WP:UNDUE) and (WP:BLPPRIVACY).W170924 (talk) 09:28, 18 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I have added one more source of "www.india.com" FarmanH (talk) 09:53, 18 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@FarmanH: Given that the source is unreliable and the event lacks proper coverage even after several weeks, I have added inline templates to highlight these issues.
