Mentioning Caste edit

Dear Editors!
There has been a discussion on India Portal related to mentioning of caste of subjects. The point is that mentioning caste of people, who have nothing to do with their caste, is found to be unnecessary by few editors. Hence the caste of the subject person needs to be deleted from the biography. I am not deleting the caste as of now but am only posting this here so that the regular editors of this article are well aware of it beforehand and no edit-wars take place. For details of discussion held on the portal please refer Wikipedia_talk:Noticeboard_for_India-related_topics#Mentioning_caste_of_Individuals. Your views if any are welcome there or even here.
And.... as the reasons of exclusion of caste pointed out were "irrelavant to notability of subject person", "privacy of the subject person", "inclusion of caste is like branding individuals", etc. other information included in the article which also fall under these cases will also be removed after discussions. Examples of it included religion, non-notable spouse's and children's and parents' information, previous occupation, lived in places, non-notability related educational qualification, etc.
Your views on this are also welcome here or at the India portal. -Animeshkulkarni (talk) 17:03, 1 January 2012 (UTC)Reply

I will, however remove it right away, since none of the sources in that section verify that she is a Jatt. At a bare minimum such a claim would absolutely need to be sourced, just like any personal any personal details. Personally, I am of the view that caste falls under the special concerns of ethnicity religion (meaning its held to the higher standard of "related to notability" and "self-identified"), but even by the most conservative position, some reliable verification is needed.

Chitrangada Singh IS A RAJPUT BY CATE NOT JAT. please come up with references. Singh calls him rajput on TV. edit

Chitrangada Singh IS A RAJPUT BY CATE NOT JAT. She calls herself a rajput on TV. So no changes should be made without further references. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 115.119.104.226 (talk) 04:57, 20 June 2013 (UTC)Reply

I've removed the caste claim entirely, because the reference did not even mention her. Unless we can find a reference where she herself states that she is Rajput (or whatever), we cannot include the info. Qwyrxian (talk) 23:42, 20 June 2013 (UTC)Reply
