Talk:List of Bengalis

message: Claiming George Orwell to be a Bengali is incorrect. The  "reference"] provided to support this claims:
:This day marks the birth centenary of George Orwell, born 100 years ago on June 25, 1903, in Motihari, then in Bengal. After the partition of Bengal, Motihari became part of Bihar. Orwell is thus a Bengali, Bihari, Indian and an Englishman, and also a Burmese, having worked in Burma as a member of the Imperial Police Service, when Burma was part of India.
A cursory look at the above shows that it doesn't support Orwell's being a Bengali by ethnicity in any way. Rather, the next paragraph clearly mentions his family's ancestry being from Essex, England, and of English ethnicity. 
Please provide other references from reliable sources to show Orwell's ethnicity even in part being Bengali. --Ragib 20:23, 12 April 2007 (UTC)

message: You can include the name of Tibbetibaba among the list of 'Religious figures' in your article. Tibbetibaba was a famous Bengali saint of India whose life was based on both Advaita Vedanta teachings and Mahayana principles.
There is an article on Tibbetibaba in Wikipedia.

message: Per WP:NLIST, we may not list living people in lists of this type unless there is verification that 1) the person fits the list (i.e., is Bengali), and 2) is recognized as important.  This can appear on the person's article if they have one; if not, a reference must be added to verify those two things here. I have removed all of the redlinks that were currently here.

message: I propose to merge the contents of List of people from West Bengal into this article List of Bengalis or to split out all redundant contents into the West Bengali list. Actually, I don't see a purpose for two similar lists (if any at all is necessary) with redundant information. Also, if we have a list for West Bengalis, we would probably also need one for East Bengalis etc. --Matthiaspaul (talk) 10:44, 17 July 2013 (UTC)
replies: text: I oppose - primarily because - all persons mentioned in List of people from West Bengal - are not and cannot be Bengali people. The list includes non-bengali people also, who may have been born in West Bengal. Jethwarp (talk) 07:46, 20 August 2013 (UTC)
replies: text: Support They can be merged, but place of birth, nationality, mother tongue etc. should be mentioned.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 117.201.96.224 (talk) 18:20, 29 August 2013 (UTC)
replies: text: Such a set of information is simply not possible for a list of this length. The real point of this list is just to provide a set of links to other Wikipedia articles; it's too long to include significant details about each person. Qwyrxian (talk) 22:23, 29 August 2013 (UTC)
thread_title:  Merge 

message: I have now several times removed a long list of double entries. All people awarded significant awards are already mention under the general appropriate header. Often with the award mention. Listing them a second this, this time under the name of the award, is not useful. Beside that, that list contains an excessive amount of links to disambiguation pages. Please stop with adding this list. The Banner talk 19:41, 21 July 2014 (UTC)

message: I would find it hard to judge what fame is, and given WP:NOTE I'd suggest that the top section be changed to only notable. All in it currently are as evidenced by the lack of WP:RED. Jerod Lycett (talk) 23:49, 1 January 2020 (UTC)
