There has been some slow-mo edit warring on this article over the course of few weeks. I have removed the disputed section and the text pertaining to "sexual harassment claims" as per

• Anil Kapoor comes in support of #MeToo movement, calls it fantastic, The Financial Express (India), 11 October 2018.
• Singer Kailash Kher, Grammy winner Vishwa Mohan Bhatt face accusation, The Indian Express, 11 October 2018.

The rationale for removal is that

The individual who is the subject of this article can be reasonably deemed a public figure, having received a Grammy award as well the Padma Bhushan (one of India's highest civilian awards). The harassment mentions have now been edited to include only those reported in mainstream media. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Guptgandharva (talk • contribs)

For your reference, there is now a discussion on

WP:BLPN regarding edits concerning this subject. — Nearly Headless Nick {c} 07:50, 13 April 2019 (UTC)[reply

I went ahead and removed the line about his son's denial as not being particularly encyclopedia-relevent. Bhatt isn't dead, if he wants to deny the allegations himself he can. 199.247.45.10 (talk) 09:55, 13 April 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Please do not revert established users without building consensus on the talk page. There are serious BLP concerns regarding the article, and your current edit removes a denial issued by his son, who was quoted by the media in the capacity of an authorised representative. If you continue to engage in edit-warring and violations of Wikipedia's policy on

revoked. — Nearly Headless Nick {c} 10:03, 13 April 2019 (UTC)[reply

Where are you getting "in the capacity of an authorised representative" from? He also wasn't quoted, the article just vaguely says he's denied allegations without qualifying how or where. I'm finding The Financial Express to be of pretty iffy quality for sourcing anyway; I count 3 spelling/grammar mistakes in the first sentence.

I'm also not sure where you learned to count but one revert is not an "edit war" (are you mixing me up with someone else?).199.247.45.10 (talk) 10:37, 13 April 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Yeah, at first I thought you were associated with the other account above. Also true that the son has not been quoted directly, it is only mentioned in both publications (both owned by

Me Too movement (India)

within 24 hours, as discussed, if there is no further feedback on the noticeboard adverse to this position.

It's totally up to you, but I think your edits and comments are likely to be taken more seriously if you registered an account for yourself. — Nearly Headless Nick {c} 11:28, 13 April 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Don’t encourage to publish any false unauthentic allegation based on Twitter

Hi Nick, I noticed that you approved the recent updates on VM Bhatt page in career section which were based on two random web links. As per the policy of Wikipedia, there is no aunthenticity of twitter posts for Wikipedia. Both the web links are assumed based on twitter post only, source is only twitter!! hence they both are proved invalid for Wikipedia!! Remove immediately this content which has no authenticity and against Wikipedia policies. Honest Army (talk) 06:50, 14 April 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you for your comments,

Thanks nick for your reply. I am again quoting that the medium you are finding a reliable resource as Indian express article are assumed and written based on twitter only!!! Someone published random tweet and they made the random article which again doesn’t have any authenticity!!!

Also the account Gupt Gandharv is created only to malign the image of reputed musician of this country. If you see, this account was created in last 2 months and since then repeaditly editings done on this page only to spread the unauthentic news!! This account is not contributing anything on Wikipedia Except putting fake allegations updates on this account!!! It shows what’s the objective of this fake account.

A single fake IDs unauthebtic updates can mislead and misguide millions of fans!!! So give a thought to it and protect this page!!

I request you again to look into this matter very seriously and do the needful. Honest Army (talk) 07:14, 14 April 2019 (UTC)[reply]

As pointed out by Nick, the Indian express is a legitimate source. Ad hominem attacks on Gupt Gandharva are unacceptable as he is merely trying to bring information to light. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Guptgandharva (talk • contribs) 17:19, 14 April 2019 (UTC)[reply]

• Dear Nick!! I have already pointed out earlier that this Indian express article was published only based on the assumptions of fake allegations and it was denied also in the same article by his son, and base source is Twitter only!!!! It’s a humble request to you, please do some proper research before considering it reliable!!! as You said “ Generally Consider” but this is not general issue and it may hurt the sentiments of millions!! I hope you will understand the criticality of this fake update!! If wrong info will be updated again and again by Fake IDs with false objective then it will be removed again n again!!! Honest Army (talk) 17:49, 14 April 2019 (UTC)[reply]

I initially removed the third opinion request as there are more than two editors involved, but I did take a look at the issue anyway. I'd be inclined to leave it out, as both of those news articles appear to be sourcing their information to a single tweet. If these accusations gain any traction, particularly if they lead to charges or a formal investigation, then this should be revisited. Does that make sense? – bradv🍁 14:23, 15 April 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks very much for expressing your opinion on this issue, Bradv. Yes, your position makes sense to me. However, Abecedare has expressed a different opinion on BLPN, as far as the principle is concerned. Do you think you could review that discussion and also let us know what you think? That would be quite useful. Thanks again! — Nearly Headless Nick {c} 14:27, 15 April 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Sir Nicholas de Mimsy-Porpington, I'm looking at this in terms of it being a noteworthy-enough event for inclusion in a biography, and I don't think it is. Yes, it's a verifiable fact that the accusation was made, and our reporting on it appears to be fairly neutral, but it's just not significant enough to be included -- in my opinion. – bradv🍁 14:37, 15 April 2019 (UTC)[reply]

OK, then, so it seems that there is consensus to exclude. — Nearly Headless Nick {c} 14:39, 15 April 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Someone with different id's repeatedly deleting Vishwa Mohan Bhatt's wife and younger son name and details. Blacksheep284 (talk) 18:58, 8 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Fake IDs have been active again to update wrong info on this page and removing his son Saurabh bhatt’s info from the page repeatedly. Please see the previous talk decision and stop all this nonsense immediately. See the last conversation with Nicholas!! Honest Army (talk) 18:45, 10 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]
