This article has been viewed enough times in a single week to appear in the Top 25 Report5 times. The weeks in which this happened:
His account of helping his father sell tea at the Vadnagar railway station has not been reliably corroborated.
Why should this be highlighted in the lead if it is not reliable ? Afv12e (talk) 18:11, 27 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]
@Afv12e: The text means that Modi claimed he helped his father sell tea, but Wikipedia mentions that this is not reliably corroborated, as no reliable secondary sources have confirmed it. GrabUp - Talk 18:22, 27 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]
it is not conveying the meaning and it like mean. How about rewriting this like this:
His account of helping his father sell tea at the Vadnagar railway station highlights his humble beginnings and strong work ethic, although some sources have debated its precise detailsAfv12e (talk) 18:37, 27 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]
“highlights his humble beginnings and strong work ethic” Is totally promotional. This can’t be added. GrabUp - Talk 12:59, 28 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]
His account of helping his father sell tea at the Vadnagar railway station has become a well-known part of his personal narrative, though some sources have debated its precise details.
OK, how about this? Afv12e (talk) 13:01, 28 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Invited in by Grabup. I'm afraid I have little understanding of the relative importance of this anecdote for inclusion in the lead, but is the reason we're including it there simply that he's been accused of inventing his 'humble working-class beginnings' story? His brother probably isn't a reliable source, and I see we don't have an article on Janbharat Times, which is our only source for that? I would say that if literally the only place we're finding this negative info about a BLP is a quote from his brother in media we don't even have an article about, it not only shouldn't be in the lead, it shouldn't be in the article. Valereee (talk) 15:52, 28 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]
I've removed it per BLP concerns. Please discuss before adding it back. Valereee (talk) 15:55, 28 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]
@Valereee: Actually, I did not invite you for this; I invited you for the above thread. GrabUp - Talk 15:58, 28 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]
