Talk:Homi K. Bhabha

message: To whoever is trying to add a disproportionate amount of criticisms of Bhabha: please go by the guidelines laid out in http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/WP:BLP. More specifically, see:
:Editors should remove any controversial material about living persons that is either unsourced, relies upon sources that do not meet standards specified in Wikipedia:Reliable sources, or is a conjectural interpretation of a source. In cases where the information is derogatory and poorly sourced or unsourced, this kind of edit is an exception to the three-revert rule. These principles apply to biographical material about living persons found anywhere in Wikipedia, including user and talk pages. Administrators may enforce the removal of such material with page protection and blocks, even if they have been editing the article themselves. Editors who re-insert the material may be warned and blocked. See the blocking policy and Wikipedia:Libel.
::Any assertion in a biography of a living person that might be defamatory if untrue must be sourced. Without reliable third-party sources, a biography will violate No original research and Verifiability, and could lead to libel claims. Information available solely on partisan websites or in obscure newspapers should be handled with caution, and, if derogatory, should not be used at all. Information found in self-published books, newspapers, or websites/blogs should never be used, unless written by the subject (see below). Not all widely read newspapers and magazines are equally reliable. There are some magazines and newspapers that print gossip much of which is false. While such information may be titillating, that does not mean it has a place here. Before repeating such gossip, ask yourself if the information is presented as being true, if the source is reliable, and if the information, even if true, is relevant to an encyclopaedic article on that subject. When these magazines print information they suspect is untrue, they often include weasel phrases. Look out for these. If the magazine doesn't think the story is true, then why should we?
:::Editors should be on the lookout for biased or malicious content in biographies or biographical information. If someone appears to be pushing an agenda or a biased point of view, insist on reliable third-party published sources and a clear demonstration of relevance to the person's notability. The views of critics should be represented if their views are relevant to the subject's notability and are based on reliable sources, and so long as the material is written in a manner that does not overwhelm the article or appear to side with the critics' material. Be careful not to give a disproportionate amount of space to critics, to avoid the effect of representing a minority view as if it were the majority one. If the criticism represents the views of a tiny minority, it has no place in the article. Content should be sourced to reliable sources and should be about the subject of the article specifically. Beware of positive or negative claims that rely on association.

replies: text: I'm not sure what the page was like before, but it now conforms to these principles, though I would be interested if a (cited/sourced) criticism of Bhabha's central theme could be added to position the debate a little more, especially if there is a counter response.

message: That he is (said to come) from a Parsi family is a mildly interesting fact, but isn't the label "Parsi people" (let alone the links to "Project Zoroastrianism") over the top? Feketekave (talk) 01:56, 5 August 2010 (UTC)

message: Sorry if this isn’t the right place for this. The page says he is the “Anne F. Rothenberg Professor of Humanities” but I’m completely unable to find what this title means as oppose to just a regular profressof of humanities. I can’t even find who the Anne F. Rothenberg I assume the title is named after is suppose to be. Vinamasmi (talk) 02:02, 26 April 2024 (UTC)
