Talk:List of people named in the Pandora Papers

Great, timely -- but needs table format

This is a great, important and VERY timely addition to Wikipedia. Compliments to the editors.

However, it definitely needs to be reformatted into a sortable table format, as soon as possible. Some researchers visiting this page will be looking for those in a given field -- e.g. current and/or former public officials, or celebrities, or businesspeople -- while others will be looking for those persons in a particular country or region. Still others will be searching for certain family names, alphabetically (since some have multiple nationalities or are internationally active). A sortable table will greatly facilitate this.

Maybe but the naming of these people is a start, whatever the format. I am thinking of those individuals who command very high speaker fees which never looked justified. Payments would normally be directed to their investment trusts and from there it would find its way to a political party which can scratch the back of the fee sponsor. Now, people can look up who is using the channels and pipelines and maybe avoiding hiring these as speakers. In the long run, one needs better more detailed lists but this is a start. I find it peculiar that no US people are on the list. 2001:8003:A070:7F00:40DD:7B2F:6BE5:6044 (talk) 04:06, 5 October 2021 (UTC)

I'm going to agree about the table format. This list needs to be sortable by nation, name, title and so forth. Victor Grigas (talk) 13:06, 5 October 2021 (UTC)

Can we move this info to wikidata (Q108782773) and create a table from there by property P710? --PabloCastellano (talk) — Preceding undated comment added 09:03, 6 October 2021 (UTC)

Responding to above comment. There are now several Americans and US businesses on the list. TimTempleton ^{(talk) (cont)} 17:54, 6 October 2021 (UTC)

Abu-Jamal

In the business people section, Abu jamal is said to be from Saudi Arabia, but once you click it, it shows the page of Mumia Abu-jamal. Is this an error or am I just confused? I didn't edit it because I don't want to mess up an article. I encourage those who posses enough information to edit it. Thank you! A Conservative Saudi (talk) 20:14, 6 October 2021 (UTC)

Thank you to whoever fixed the mistake. A Conservative Saudi (talk) 15:16, 7 October 2021 (UTC)

Order

The list is starting to get quite long. IMO, I think we should discuss what to do with those included who don't have a wikibio, those who are included "because they are son/daughter of..." or are red-linked without an article in another language. We can't put all of them because they are hundreds of people named. I honestly don't know a lot the MOS for this type of issue so I will read opinions. Not to mention alphabetical order, which there is no way to enforce. Thanks. _-_Alsoriano97 (talk) 21:44, 6 October 2021 (UTC)

MOS:LISTORG says that lists should always be organised in some way. I attempted to sort some of the sublists yesterday, but I couldn't find a better way of doing it than typing the countries and names into Excel and sorting with that. IMO, the ideal sort is alphabetically by country, and within a country, alphabetically by last name (which is what I did). A table was suggested above, but considering there would only be 2 columns (country and name), I don't see the need. INDT (talk) 06:49, 7 October 2021 (UTC)

why only middle class suffer in paying more and more taxes while rich are busy in tax havens??Vatsalya.B (talk) 11:24, 11 October 2021 (UTC)

Pandora Papers have shaken the financial world after Panama Papers. Many billionaires, top government heads of counties, celebrities, and sportsperson are on this list like Anil Ambani, Putin, and Sachin Tendulkar, but what exactly are they? They are a Financial data Leak that shows how super-rich people across the world avoid paying taxes. This comes at a time when taxes for common people keep rising and it gets harder and harder to pay them. Two years ago, a body called the International Consortium of Investigative Journalists (ICIJ) in Washington DC was given a secret tip that led to this. I explain the whole concept of how offshore accounts and money laundering allegedly work. question arises, What do you think? Is it unethical for people to exploit tax loopholes legally or is it fine to do so? --Vatsalya.B (talk) 11:24, 11 October 2021 (UTC)--Vatsalya.B (talk) 11:24, 11 October 2021 (UTC)
