thread_title:  proposed merger 

message: This is a biased article about mithun. He was working as a small time actor in low budget films after a few initial hits. This article is like an eulogy.
seriously doubt whether this article was written in the right sense...
..people whose social status can at best be described as modest - 
That just cracked me up..

thread_title:  neutrality 

message: I think there should be a category about his cult-status among a certain sub-class of movie audiences.. There is no denying the fact that some of his ardent admirers derive their entertainment out of what was intended to be very serious scenes by the filmmaker.  It needs to be presented in a NPOV way.  --Rev.bayes 00:11, 12 May 2006 (UTC)

message: Weren't there some movies from the 80s where he did some MJ "parodies" (I think Thriller/Bad was one of them). He was known as the MJ of India? If this is the case, could this be added to the article please. Thanks. → AA (talk) — 11:38, 13 August 2007 (UTC)

message: I removed the links for the award subsection titles. It wouldn't be a bad idea to incorporate them some other way, though. Maybe having a short intro into the bullet lists? Leefkrust22 (talk) 00:47, 30 December 2011 (UTC)
thread_title:  Awards 

message: One editor has stated that Chakraborty "was born is Barisal , Bangladesh , not in Kolkata. He has admitted that in many of his interviews." Fine, but he PROVIDES NO EVIDENCE. What interviews? Cite them. Can any other editors help with this issue of his place of birth? Regards, George Custer's Sabre (talk) 06:30, 27 October 2015 (UTC)
replies: text: This contentious bit was still in the article, disruptively added repeatedly by IPs and still unsourced. I couldn't find single RS source for it those that were there most likely being WP:CIRCULAR or editable databases. I did come across official government records and have added those here. This article should be monitored ause as seen by the article history the IPs are not likely to relent anytime soon. Gotitbro (talk) 04:11, 9 July 2020 (UTC)

thread_title:  Hello Shamim Akhtar 

message: So...there is a lot of fluff in the main article. 
Though i do not have the experience to edit it in order the remove the warning template from 2014, I will try and remove words such as "best", "superhit" etc, unless justified by the source. 
If anyone is opposed, just revert or stop me. I will wait ~24 hours.
Also:
"He was also widely recognized as an action hero in films such as Jagir, Jaal, Dilwaala, Watan Ke Rakhwale and Waqt Ki Awaz. His performances never won any award in 1986 and 1987 as the Filmfare Awards were never announced due to technical reasons. As Chakraborty always had higher number of releases, sometimes it affected the business of his own films, as happened in 1989, where he had a record 19 films."
Isn't the above unsourced content considered original research? 
It is the last piece of information in the "Debut and stardom (1976–1990)" subsection.
Thank you in advance for any advice -User8654 20:05, 28 August 2018 (UTC)
thread_title:  Proposed Cleanup 

message: As per the Rajya Sabha source, he was born on 16 June 1950 in Kolkata. Since the website generates a random link for all members it can be navigated to using this link. GO to C tab in the link, it opens a list of members with surnames beginning with 'C'. Then click on the link Chakraborty Shri Mithun. Once there, open the Bio tab. All info about birth date, education, birth place and spouse is there. - Fylindfotberserk (talk) 07:26, 1 March 2021 (UTC)
replies: text: Facebook is not reliable in Wikpedia and neither is historica.fandom.com as per WP:UGC. And not in a single news source above, he self-declares that he is from Barisal or says anything like “I am from this land and whenever you call me, I will come.”. All these sources themselves declared that the person was born in Barisal, studied in Scottish Church, in a language which which looks like a case of WP:CIRCULAR (copied from Wikipedia) since in some versions of this article, these things were mentioned. Rajya Sabha government source is self-declared and it was from the time he was nominated by TMC party, thus trumps over these sources. If you find a latest interview video, in which he explicitly says he was born in Barisal, bring it here. - Fylindfotberserk (talk) 08:58, 26 March 2021 (UTC)
replies: text: IPs, instead of POV pushing Barisal, bring reliable source here, an interview perhaps for WP:CONSENSUS. - Fylindfotberserk (talk) 18:31, 29 April 2022 (UTC)
