Talk:The Apprentice (British TV series) series 15

Gandhi controversy(?)

edit

A seemingly well-referenced and neutral section was removed. I protected the page to facilitate discussion here. Please discuss the content's merits/demerits.-- Deepfriedokra 18:07, 11 November 2019 (UTC)Reply

The merits of this section's paragraph of information is to highlight an incident considered to be controversial with viewers and likely experts and critics of the programme, regarding the behaviour of candidates both on and off-screen. A particular part of this is regarding what sort of conversations and messages are made and the context of the text used. In this case, the context focused on a sentence involving the use of well-known historical figure in India's history as a possible form of slander/insult against another, in reference to that person's racial background, and the response to this sentence from viewers of the programme, any possible critics (should they speak), and the production company and broadcaster. The reason given for its removal is a highly personal one that makes a claim of deeming it a form of Hate against the individual mentioned in the information that made the sentence, yet the information was written out from an encyclopedic viewpoint and has references to articles on the internet that confirm what happened and the reaction as a result, thus such a reason is rather absurd.

Context around reduced episode summaries

edit

I've noticed a bit of edit-warring in the history of this article around adding what has generally been considered to be "Original Research" to the episode summaries. As someone who used to relish in writing long paragraphs for these, the change was significant, but I abide by the community decision to significantly simplify the episode summaries to be just that - a summary, that doesn't delve into any significance on any point sans the named firing of a candidate and the result of the task.

For the detailed ramblings of how this conclusion was met, and please do avoid going against this as it will just be reverted to the standard accepted across all series. I would recommend editors reverting the article to point concerned users either to this or the linked talk pages so that they too can understand the decision made.

I agree - that should be done for editors who add more than they should, such as information that consists of a breakdown of a scene. I had to revert such edits because of how unacceptable it was, given the consensus about how these article should be written out since the discussion on the matter.GUtt01 (talk) 08:43, 22 November 2019 (UTC)Reply
