Lazy links in Lead section

The Lead is the worst possible place for Lazy links. For example: "from IIT Roorkee in 1989." Yeah, most people know what that is. Not. Please repair,

Neutrality. This reads like the cover letter of a resume. Please repair and unlock.

Permission to edit as Amit Singhal has asked to quit Uber. Reference: http://www.recode.net/2017/2/27/14745360/amit-singhal-google-uber

information is already included regarding this. IdreamofJeanie (talk) 18:05, 28 February 2017 (UTC)

Unsupported claim of exoneration

There's no support in the linked articles for the claim that Singhal was exonerated at Google. To the contrary, the Kara Swisher article [9] states that Google was preparing to fire him when he quit. It may be that accusation was made moot by his resignation, however there's not even a primary source for that. Please make plain the evidence, or remove the claim of exoneration. 18:15, 25 October 2018 (UTC)

While you take a decision on the above Unsupported claim of exoneration, please flag it if possible on the main page. People will come here now that Andy Rubin's case is news.

Not done: it's not clear what changes you want to be made. Please mention the specific changes in a "change X to Y" format and provide a reliable source if appropriate.  Spintendo  19:20, 5 November 2018 (UTC)

Please change "which he was asked to resign from shortly after he failed to disclose a sexual harassment case during his former job from which he was ultimately cleared." to "which he was asked to resign from shortly after he failed to disclose a sexual harassment case during his former job" The references do not state that he was cleared in any way. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Vpt101 (talk • contribs) 20:09, 5 November 2018 (UTC)

I changed the wording because I couldn't find any sources to say he was cleared; it seems Google just let the matter drop after he resigned. Curdle (talk) 23:25, 20 December 2018 (UTC)

Sexual harassment allegations at google

It was widely reported he left google due to sexual harassment. Once this became known at Uber he was asked to resign. This is relevant and should be included in his profile.

A number of users have repeatedly attempted to remove any reference to his sexual harassment. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Thehollabackgirl (talk • contribs) 17:26, 11 August 2022 (UTC)
