When India was reeling with the onset of the second wave, The PM Narendra Modi chaired an emergency meeting with all CMs of the states in the Republic of India. Kejriwal decided to televise his speech live against the established norms of private official meetings. After being sternly admonished for the breach of protocol by the PM {{cite news | url=https://www.thehindu.com/news/national/pm-modi-raps-kejriwal-for-violating-protocol-of-closed-door-meetings/article34393039.ece |title=this article}}, He profusely apologized midway through his speech and later his office expressed regret for televising the speech.{{cite news | url=https://www.ndtv.com/india-news/coronavirus-arvind-kejriwal-to-pm-narendra-modi-on-oxygen-crisis-pm-sir-please-make-a-phone-call-2420143|title=this article}} He also displayed an acute disconnect from the steps being taken to resolve the O2 supply issues plaguing the country and referred to an already activated plan of Oxygen Express of using Indian Railways leading the PM to interject and remind him that it is not an idea But an actual step which has already been activated.

I undid this revision [https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Arvind_Kejriwal&oldid=1080112411] but it was reinstated. This revision goes against WP:NOTNEWS. It is not a notable event in the career of the peroson to get a mention on wikipedia. It is clearly NOT an assassination attempt and has not been characterized as such in any WP:RS . Request cleanup by uninvolved editors. ChunnuBhai (talk) 12:16, 30 March 2022 (UTC)

:This is a pretty rare incident and the major headline everywhere. It is still evolving. I strongly believe it deserves a mention. Venkat TL (talk) 12:24, 30 March 2022 (UTC)

::every new incident WILL be covered by the media and will make headlines everywhere, simply because it is new. Coverage itself does not warrant inclusion on wiki. quoting from Wikipedia:NOTNEWS

::''

::"Wikipedia considers the enduring notability of persons and events. While news coverage can be useful source material for encyclopedic topics, most newsworthy events do not qualify for inclusion and Wikipedia is not written in news style. For example, routine news reporting of announcements, sports, or celebrities is not a sufficient basis for inclusion in the encyclopedia. While including information on recent developments is sometimes appropriate, breaking news should not be emphasized or otherwise treated differently from other information."'' ChunnuBhai (talk) 12:31, 30 March 2022 (UTC)

:::I agree with everything in your last reply. This event qualifies to have a mention. An attack on CM with damage to CCTV and all is very very rare. Cant think of such an incident in past. There are reports that MP was leading the attack. Venkat TL (talk) 12:43, 30 March 2022 (UTC)

:{{partly done}}: The sources of the first one link to at least three different events at different times, so I'm unsure how that should be implemented.

:His resignation is already mentioned in the article at a more appropriate point. The same goes for the allegations of bribery and some of the defamation lawsuits.

:The alleged assault case is also mentioned already.

:The oxygen controversy has been added. Same goes for the residence "beautification". However, the allegations against cabinet ministers were against Satyendar Jain and Arvind Kejriwal, and brought forward by Kapil Mishra. What do you suggest be done with that? Actualcpscm (talk) 11:23, 2 May 2023 (UTC)

:@116.73.198.213 Regarding the addition of this "Controversy section" as suggested by you, the discussion is currently going on. Kindly participate and put forward your reasoning as why you want the inclusion of this section when it is generally missing from other Indian political leaders' wikipages. Also, a request kindly use your official ID for this discussion rather than an anonymous one. Thanks. Kridha (talk) 10:05, 4 May 2023 (UTC)

controversies section should remain or not??? DSP2092 (talk) 09:17, 4 May 2023 (UTC)

:@DSP2092 If you are following a general format, then definitely NOT. I removed both the sections after going through multiple significant Indian leaders' pages including - Rahul Gandhi, Narendra Modi, Atal Bihari Vajpayee etc. Either their pages should also have these same sections (it's not like their respective terms are free from controversies/lawsuits) or the section should not be there until and unless there is some major controversy or court judgement related to a particular leader which hampers or completely shuts their political career. Selective addition of section itself violates neutrality of the wikipedia page. So that's my opinion. Better to keep the uniformity regrading different leaders' sections. Thanks.

Wikipedia has a neutral point of view (NPOV) policy that requires all content to be written in a way that is unbiased, accurate, and free from personal opinion or advocacy. This means that controversial or negative information about a subject should not be removed solely because it is unflattering or inconvenient.criticism with various different sources and if it is notable, it shouldn't be removed. Nyovuu (talk) 11:41, 18 May 2023 (UTC)

:I’m not sure this is an appropriate use of the RfC process. A brief, neutral statement of the issue is the best way to start.

:Nevertheless I took a look at the edits you have highlighted and in particular I found edit 4 problematic. The edit summary was {{tq|Rmv the entire section. Firstly, there is no reliable independent source attached. Secondly, the section is lacking in all other significant leaders' pages. Better to maintain uniformity and WP:NPOV}}.

:The two given reasons are flawed::

:1. The section did in fact cite several reliable sources, including one that is green at WP:RSP.

:2. If a section header doesn’t appear in other similar articles, that’s not a sound reason to delete the whole section. Options include renaming it, moving the content into another section, or accepting that this article can have an uncommon section heading. This issue also applies to edit 5.

:Therefore it seems to me that the removal of the content has not been properly justified, and it should be restored.

Nyovuu (talk) 14:16, 12 August 2023 (UTC)

::@CapnJackSp and @Nyovuu: I've been removing it because we should avoid "controversies" or "criticism" sections, particularly on a BLP (see WP:CSECTION) and we should also avoid reporting allegations without convictions (see WP:BLPCRIME). WP:BLP policy is clear that we need to get the content right or it should be removed. I'm also concerned that the section provided a one-sided POV of these "controversies" that may be WP:UNDUE. Nyovuu, as I told you on your Talk page, how reliable the sources are is secondary to how you're trying to use them in the article.

::For what it's worth, I'm not opposed to adding some of the content into the article, but not paragraphs of allegations without convictions and not in a section named "Controversies". We need to do that based on consensus, which includes respecting our policies and guidelines. It will probably have to happen gradually as well, looking at each issue and the available sources, not in one edit with thousands of characters. Woodroar (talk) 14:43, 12 August 2023 (UTC)

::::Part of WP:BLPCRIME is about non-public figures, yes, but the first sentence about innocence and accusations apply to everyone. That there are mentions of allegations, criminal charges, and apologies, but nothing about convictions, is likely harmful to Kejriwal (and the others mentioned). I'm concerned, based on comments from Kridha above, that these sources present an UNDUE POV because other reliable sources are being excluded. Changing a few words here and there won't help if all of the claims are weighted on a select handful of sources.

::::It's BLP policy itself (WP:BLPRESTORE) that says to delete the sections: {{tq|To ensure that material about living people is written neutrally to a high standard, and based on high-quality reliable sources, the burden of proof is on those who wish to retain, restore, or undelete the disputed material. When material about living persons has been deleted on good-faith BLP objections, any editor wishing to add, restore, or undelete it must ensure it complies with Wikipedia's content policies. If it is to be restored without significant change, consensus must be obtained first.}} That's why I've been stressing the need for consensus.

::::I suspect that Kridha knows a lot more about this situation than I do, but maybe they're wrong. If digging into the sources determines that they do represent a weighted balance of reliable sources, great! We can tinker with the wording. If there were convictions or court orders or something similar that weren't reported, also great. We can mention that. However, there's such a variety of issues here that I'd probably still argue we should incorporate the content throughout the article, or perhaps use several headings/titles. I don't have any specific suggestions until the source analysis is done. Woodroar (talk) 15:43, 12 August 2023 (UTC)

:::::I adressed that; see {{tq|1=allegations, if notable, are included; Only the correct attribution to them must be maintained}}. Kejriwal wasnt convicted, but he did apologise repeatedly for claims that he made (including admitting negligence) after he was sued. No reason to keep that out.
Again, could you specify what portions you take issue with instead of quoting guidelines? You cant just claim "No consensus" without actually disagreeing with the material; And even in disagreements, consensus is not unanimity.
And Kridha's edits and comments have not only been problematic in my opinion, but have also been pointed out by others. Captain Jack Sparrow (talk) 16:06, 12 August 2023 (UTC)

::::::I agree with you about allegations, in isolation at least, but NPOV issues can cause BLP issues. No matter what we name them, these "controversies" strike me as one-sided political point-scoring—the goal is to damage reputations. I fully believe that Kridha removed them in good faith and I hope they'll return soon and detail their NPOV issues, and then we can move forward. (To be clear, I also think that Nyovuu is acting in good faith.) If you look through the article and Talk page histories, you'll see that this has been going on for years. Someone adds a criticism section and someone else removes it weeks or months later. Nyovuu and Kridha are only the latest. It seems to me that the general (but by no means universal) opinion on the Talk page is that a criticism section should be removed until there's consensus for inclusion.

::::::Ultimately, I have no opinion on Kejriwal or anyone else listed here. I didn't know who they were until I saw the NPOV discussion. I'm mostly pro-procedure, trying to get the editors to the table to discuss—as several other editors have done—and pointing out issues where I see them. I haven't seen much that's problematic about Kridha's editing, but maybe I haven't looked at the right diffs. Woodroar (talk) 17:31, 12 August 2023 (UTC)

:please go through WP:CENSOR. You cannot delete a well sourced section, just because you feel "I'm not sure what purpose this section serves in the BLP." Aren't lawsuits part and parcel of every politician? Please start a WP:RFC.

::RFC isn't called before a discussion.

Greetings. I'm following up on [https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Wikipedia:Biographies_of_living_persons/Noticeboard&diff=prev&oldid=1218129120 a post] at WP:BLPN regarding a recent edit. The source offered to support the content in [https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Arvind_Kejriwal&diff=prev&oldid=1218098618 this edit] does not appear to be particularly reliable as to BLP content, nor is the content apparently worth any WP:WEIGHT in this subject's biography. It's just someone's opinion of him. So I removed it. See also WP:BLPSPS and WP:RS for more detail on third-party claims and reliable sources.

That said, the BLPN OP was unwilling to discuss the problematic edit here with its proponent. That's also unacceptable. Talk page it, please. Then follow up again at BLPN if there's a genuine failure to reach a consensus. If your consensus is hung up on reliability of a source, see WP:RSN. And WP:ANI is where abusive editing is remedied.

Can I add this: {{Talkquote|The High Court of Delhi has ruled that Arvind Kejriwal's arrest in the liquor case is valid and rejected the CM's plea against his arrest.{{cite web | last=Anand | first=Akriti | title='Arvind Kejriwal's arrest in liquor case valid': Delhi HC rejects CM's plea | website=mint | date=2024-04-09 | url=https://www.livemint.com/news/india/delhi-hc-pronounce-verdict-arvind-kejriwals-plea-against-ed-arrest-and-remand-11712656449317.html | access-date=2024-04-11}}{{cite web | last=Ojha | first=Srishti | title=Arvind Kejriwal's plea against arrest dismissed, court says he 'conspired' | website=India Today | date=2024-04-09 | url=https://www.indiatoday.in/law/story/arvind-kejriwal-delhi-high-court-liquor-policy-arrest-plea-conspired-ed-probe-agency-2525138-2024-04-09 | access-date=2024-04-11}}{{cite web | title=Arvind Kejriwal To Stay In Jail, Petition Against Arrest Rejected | website=NDTV.com | date=2019-02-22 | url=https://www.ndtv.com/india-news/arvind-kejriwal-to-stay-in-jail-petition-against-arrest-rejected-5405799 | access-date=2024-04-11}}}} to this article? If so, where?-Haani40 (talk) 18:07, 11 April 2024 (UTC)

:Being backed by multiple RS, this is a valid addition. Also, the lead is already bloated, so this can be to the relevant section or the main article related to arrest. --TheMandarin (talk) 19:09, 11 April 2024 (UTC)

::OK, thanks!-Haani40 (talk) 19:22, 11 April 2024 (UTC)

:It's already present and with better wording. This wording can make it sound like a conviction instead of a denial of dismissal of a case. MrMkG (talk) 15:09, 12 April 2024 (UTC)

{{tref}}

The contents regarding arrest are less inside the 'CM' section and more on the front page. This seems to be a bad edit. Regarding arrest, either increase the content in sub sections or decrease the size of main section. 122.187.117.179 (talk) 15:56, 19 May 2024 (UTC)

::is replacing the current image allowed? Redmyname31 (talk) 13:41, 24 May 2024 (UTC)

:::It is just an upscaled version of the present one. I don't think it would be a problem. - Fylindfotberserk (talk) 13:56, 24 May 2024 (UTC)

::::Please discuss this further. If I change(replace) it, it will be probably reverted; Redmyname31 (talk) 15:35, 24 May 2024 (UTC)
