Talk:Kunchacko Boban

message: The column in the filmography table titled "Box office verdict" is problematic for several reasons.  First, its contents are entirely unsourced and keep changing, which only draws attention to the fact that some if not many of the "verdicts" are entirely made up.  All information in Wikipedia must be verifiable, but how do you verify whether a certain film was a "super hit" or a "blockbuster" when not only is there no source cited, but the terminology is intentionally vague?  What is the difference between a "mega hit" and a "super hit"?  My point is that the jargon of "verdicts" consists of ill-defined, subjective buzzwords that have no place in an encyclopedia's filmography.  What would be useful instead would be sourced numbers, box office gross figures, something quantifiable.
Because I am sick of watching the ceaseless edit wars going on in the "Box office verdict" column without any way to know if people are simply making things up, I have requested a source for the contents of the column.  I will wait a few more days in hopes that someone will locate a reliable source or sources.  If that doesn't happen, I am deleting that column. AtticusX (talk) 20:20, 23 October 2010 (UTC)
replies: text: Done. The column remained unsourced, and the so-called verdicts kept changing, so it has been removed. AtticusX (talk) 04:24, 2 November 2010 (UTC)

message: Per the manual of style "Tables are a way of presenting links, data or information in rows and columns. They can be useful for a variety of content presentations on Wikipedia, though should be used only when appropriate; sometimes the information in a table may be better presented as prose paragraphs or as an embedded list" and "Often a list is best left as a list. Before you format a list in table form, consider whether the information will be more clearly conveyed by virtue of having rows and columns. If so, then a table is probably a good choice. If there is no obvious benefit to having rows and columns, then a table is probably not the best choice. " There is no obvious benefit to placing the filmography in a table, other than it will consume inordinate amounts of time and frustration dealing with the crappy table markup system used by Wikipedia. Oh wait, that is not a benefit. In additions, listing such trivial crap in the filmography as the co-stars is clearly out of scope for an encyclopedia article about Boban. -- TRPoD aka The Red Pen of Doom 18:02, 8 March 2013 (UTC)

message: Some new accounts have added promotional and unencyclopedic content to the article in the last few days. The content is unsourced, unverifiable and seems to be lifted straight from some fanpage. JK (talk) 04:57, 31 March 2013 (UTC)
replies: text: Thank you for bringing this matter to the talk page. I hope the other editors, who are adding the content, will join in the discussion and explain why they think the material should be in the article (if they still want it there)—although at least one of them will have to wait until his/her block expires before participating in the discussion here. —C.Fred (talk) 13:46, 31 March 2013 (UTC)

message: This article has been frequented by the sockpuppets of a blocked user named User:Mealwaysrockz007‎ who has been adding promotional and cut-pasted contents from other websites. Every attempt to cleanup the article has been sabotaged by this person. Now the duck socks named Onam2013 and Indian film 100yrs of mkht are adding back the same promotional content which were deleted long back. A significant part of the article is cut-pasted from websites like this. I've added inline tags to some of the statements but actually the whole article needs to be saved and made encylopedic.
