Talk:Bigg Boss (Hindi TV series) season 9

Gossip

In this edit I removed content about the "Lebanonese" [sic] porn actress who is not appearing in the series. It doesn't strike me as encyclopedic in this case to discuss who isn't going to appear in the series. We are not a gossip magazine. We should stick to content about the people who will be participating. There might be some exceptions to this, but I don't see the relevance of the content here.

Factual accuracy and BLP issues

This article has been frequently edited by User:LulzWhateven, a sockpuppet of a vandal notorious for inserting false and/or WP:BLP-violating information supported by references which are superficially plausible-looking but, on further inspection, turn out to be spurious. It is important that all claims made in this article be thoroughly checked against the cited sources. Any information not actually supported by the sources should be removed. Please do not remove the maintenance tags until an established editor in good standing has done this. —Psychonaut (talk) 19:14, 11 October 2015 (UTC)

I support this. Cyphoidbomb (talk) 22:46, 14 November 2015 (UTC)

Why is this page such a mess and outdated?

Anyone know why highly relevant information for this page keeps being removed? I mean why is the housemate infobox empty and where is the nominations table and vote count as well as more detailed housemate information. All these need adding ASAP by users who watch Bigg Boss 9 or have a record on he voting history. Superdry19 (talk) 01:55, 24 November 2015 (UTC)

For much of this you can thank the vandal and hoaxer who has been persistently targetting this page. His "relevant" material gets removed because it is false, defamatory, and/or copyright-infringing. (See #Factual accuracy and BLP issues above.) For the rest, a look at the page history shows that material contributed by other users (probably in good faith) has been removed or rewritten because it is unsourced, promotional, or overly detailed. If you would like to volunteer to help maintain this article in a state consistent with our policies and guidelines, you are most welcome! —Psychonaut (talk) 07:44, 24 November 2015 (UTC)

What "highly relevant information" is exactly missing? All participants are listed with dates of who have been evicted. All those who-voted-whom and he-beat-him she-cursed-her is non-encyclopedic in nature. You might want to refer to some forum for all that crap. §§Dharmadhyaksha§§ {Talk / Edits} 08:26, 24 November 2015 (UTC)

I mean they're not wrong. Literally every other show with this kind of format has a nominations table but I feel the people who watch over this one are just straight up lazy. Which is fine, but at least own up to it instead of blowing it off as less important. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 69.165.164.182 (talk) 01:11, 3 December 2015 (UTC)

When we have articles about fiction, we care about what third parties have said about the plot/meaning/impact, not trivial recreations of the work. -- TRPoD aka The Red Pen of Doom 01:48, 3 December 2015 (UTC)

Okay, so you just don't know how to do the tables. That's fair. Have a good one. :p — Preceding unsigned comment added by 104.247.241.239 (talk) 01:53, 7 December 2015 (UTC)

Put the country of the celebrity name

Can you please put the country up on the celebrity names like Mandana Karimi as Iran please? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 77.102.106.5 (talk) 15:55, 26 November 2015 (UTC)

Why? How does that have any more value or relevance than their height or their favorite ice cream or their puppies name?-- TRPoD aka The Red Pen of Doom 01:46, 3 December 2015 (UTC)

Appropriate tone for names

In these edits I restored the housemate surnames in the housemate infobox. Some editors like Rupz 10 removed them without appropriate justification, and despite my queries, never bothered to explain or restore the content. This is a no-brainer, and I know that TheRedPenOfDoom was on board with this: We present content in the formal tone that you would expect in an encyclopedia. As TRPOD noted in an edit summary, these people are not our friends, so we refer to them the way any professional reference would—we either refer to their entire name where appropriate, or, per WP:SURNAME, we refer to them using their surnames. I don't particularly care which convention is used for the infobox, so long as the choice is consistent with professional encyclopedic tone. Note that our tone guidelines represent widespread community consensus, so any deviation from that needs to be achieved through discussion here. Cyphoidbomb (talk) 20:54, 17 December 2015 (UTC)

Evictions or Walk

It seems like a war going on. Am inviting user (Cricket246—Dinesh kanwar singh) here to have a discussion about Kishwer Merchant, whether she walked or got evicted rather than reverting each other's edit. I also request you guys please do not add eviction/entry or any other information without an official announcement. Thank You – GSS (talk) 17:08, 20 January 2016 (UTC)

• Its a coerced eviction... That was the eviction of that week which was forcefully brought about by bigg boss... That week kishwar didn't walk out by her own choice and was rather made to do so by Bigg boss coercively... Hence she was coercively evicted and hence her status should be technically 'evicted'... Cricket246 (talk) 17:30, 20 January 2016 (UTC)

Note: Inviting user Suyash88 to join this discussion. GSS (talk) 18:34, 21 January 2016 (UTC)

• Although kishwer has been coercively evicted, she had option to stay in house by convincing Prince to leave the house. But she she herself chosen to leave the house and give Prince a chance. Also she walked out of the house with Rs.1500000, which is almost 30% of winning prize. So it can't be said that she evicted, rather it can be said that she walked out of the show by her own choice..... Suyash88 (talk) —Preceding undated comment added 11:40, 22 January 2016 (UTC)
