What to do with the Career history fork content?

This article was too detailed, and I and others trimmed it down. Tennis expert objected, so I created the Career history fork from a prior version of the article to keep him placated. The fork was deleted and reinstated. Not understanding why it was reinstated (albeit as a redirect), I started rewriting the Career history into bullet form (so as to avoid duplication with style and content of main article) when Chidel re-established the redirect while I was working on it. Would anyone care to start a discussion on what should be 'merged' back? Ohconfucius (talk) 15:52, 30 June 2009 (UTC)

Biography - Early life

What's the point of the "Early life" sub section? there are no other sub-sections, so I think it should be removeded. Agreed? Thanks Kvsh5 (talk) 07:11, 10 July 2009 (UTC)

No, I do not agree - leave that section alone. Naki (talk) 20:19, 17 June 2012 (UTC)

Ma-REE-ya YU-rye-vna Sha-RA-po-va

Why is there a pronunciation guide for her name? What's the point of this? It's all fairly phonetical. Why are English-speakers not expected to understand how to pronounce the name "Maria"? It's quite childish. I think it should be deleted. Agreed? EttaLove (talk) 23:26, 5 September 2009 (UTC)

The key point is Sharapova, which the TV announcers consistently mispronounce. I have never understood why they do this — it's forgivable to give an approximate pronunciation to a name that's actually difficult to pronounce in your own language, but there's nothing difficult for Anglophones about putting the stress on the third-to-last syllable, so the telly-critters' "Sha-ra-POH-vah" is just weird.

(On the other hand, putting the stress on the fourth-to-last syllable, as in Kournikova, is indeed tough for English speakers, so that one is more comprehensible.) --Trovatore (talk) 21:57, 6 September 2009 (UTC)

Anyway, I think that according to Slavonic names pronumciation, shouldn't it be SHA-ra-po-va? Ohconfucius 01:48, 9 November 2009 (UTC)

No. --Trovatore (talk) 03:15, 9 November 2009 (UTC)

I've added the IPA transcription of her name, to be so much more precise (and accurate, for that matter), and also so that the article doesn't look ex-TREE-mly AM-u-tyuh. Note, however, that I'm not Russian, so the IPA might be slightly incorrect. 79.67.246.166 (talk) 15:45, 28 February 2010 (UTC) If Sharapova does indeed have the second syllable stressed, then the name would be pronounced Sha-RA-pah-vah. In Russian, the vowel O is always pronounced Ah unless it is in the stressed syllable. In which case, the pronunciation guide in the article needs to be corrected. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Hagi2000 (talk • contribs) 22:33, 25 June 2010 (UTC)

The stress is on the second syllable but the pronunciation is Sha-RAP-ah-vah.Historian932 (talk) 21:48, 4 October 2013 (UTC)

Someone has gone and changed it to some caricatured "American" pronunciation, as if that were somehow in any way useful or relevant. I don't really know Russian IPA, but it should be changed back.--96.63.227.15 (talk) 06:25, 17 January 2014 (UTC)

Maria Sharapova's current weight

A 6'2" tall, large framed and physically well developed woman cannot possibly weigh a mere 130 pounds. According to a modeling web site I visited recently Maria Sharapova weighs 68.5 kg. That sounds about right, and that is why I edited her page, which stated her weight at 59kg. However I cannot now find the website for verification. So, we will just have to rely on common sense! Victoroyer (talk) 19:51, 30 October 2009 (UTC)

• We constantly have editors and vandals altering the weight stats of prominent sports personalities that I no longer have faith in any of the figures people put in here. Anyhow, it's fairly trivial detail and subject to change, so there really is no justification to giving a weight within one decimal place, if at all. I see two approaches to the problem: either we insist that this information be cited from a recent source, or we should remove the data altogether. Ohconfucius 01:46, 9 November 2009 (UTC)

there is absolutely NO way Sharapova is 59kg at 6"2. come on guys, thats ridiculous —Preceding unsigned comment added by 219.89.226.110 (talk) 07:49, 25 October 2010 (UTC)

Maria Sharapova may have weighed 130 lbs. five years ago, but anyone who sees her now can clearly see she weighs 30-40 pounds more. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 68.53.222.149 (talk) 12:34, 31 October 2010 (UTC)

• You think she's 170 pounds? KellanFabjance (talk) 22:28, 8 December 2010 (UTC)

Pronunciation ('pro-NUN')

I'm not going to revert another edit, but the 'pro-NUN' should not be on the page. Only an idiot could think that the word 'Sharapova' was English and WP:PRON states clearly that IPA should be used, and as the sole transcription, for pronunciation of foreign, viz Russian words. Don't add the 'pro-NUN' just because you as a user don't understand the IPA; learn it! Also, if you're going to ignore guidelines, do it properly. 79.67.246.166 (talk) 20:42, 1 March 2010 (UTC)

The correct English pronunciation has the stress on the second syllable. We should give the correct pronunciation in a way people can understand. Otherwise readers who don't know IPA will not see the difference from the erroneous pronunciation used by TV announcers. --Trovatore (talk) 22:07, 1 March 2010 (UTC)

Edit request from 69.59.78.162, 16 December 2010

{{edit semi-protected}} Change Los Angeles Lakers to New Jersey Nets, for Sasha Vujacic

69.59.78.162 (talk) 23:35, 16 December 2010 (UTC)

Done, sort of. I see Sharapova's fiance Vujacic has moved from the LA Lakers to the New York Nets. But "New York Nets guard" is kind of cryptic for an international encyclopedia, so I've instead changed it to "NBA basketball player". Thanks, Adrian J. Hunter 15:08, 17 December 2010 (UTC)

Introduction

I guess winning the career grand slam is not a significant achievement because it is certainly missing from the introduction. We need to add it in and link it to the section of the article on the Grand Slam page! This is the second best crème de la crème in the game, just short of doing it in a calendar year. She is also the first woman in the open era to get a Career Grand Slam from four Grand Slam wins (also the second person to do so in the open era and the fourth person ever to do so).HotHat (talk) 03:47, 10 June 2012 (UTC)

I think the entire introduction is far to long. Lot's of it is replicated throughout the article. I'm going to cut some out, though if anything thinks something should be kept, please change it back! :) (Kyleofark (talk) 18:04, 11 June 2012 (UTC))

The lead meets the criteria imho. Regards.--GoP_{TN 12:35, 12 June 2012 (UTC)}

Excessive Images?

I counted 16, pretty much one for ever sub-section of the article. I know she's a beautiful lady, but is that a little much? 216.185.77.30 (talk) 12:26, 12 June 2012 (UTC)

As long as they do not stack each other or are violating the image policy, I don't see why not. Note that she is a tennis player, but only occasionally a model. Regards.--GoP_{TN 12:32, 12 June 2012 (UTC)}

Sugarpova?

Nothing on Sugarpova yet in the article? Fixer23 (talk) 09:48, 23 September 2012 (UTC)

Sugarpova merge suggest

There is an individual article with title Sugarpova. Suggest to merge the topic with this article as the subject Sugarpova has no scope as a separate topic. --atnair (talk) 16:26, 17 February 2013 (UTC)

What is wiki policy on companies? I assume that most businesses are not notable on their own? Wilbur Chocolate Company and The Hershey Company are stand-alone articles for multiple reasons, but it seems that Sugarpova has only one reason... Maria Sharapova. A merge might be best here. Fyunck(click) (talk) 19:10, 17 February 2013 (UTC)

Agreed; the company is essentially a vanity project for its founder. Absurdist1968 (talk) 07:59, 20 August 2013 (UTC)

 Done Fyunck(click) (talk) 08:59, 20 August 2013 (UTC)

During the US open, this article should be redirected to an identical one but entitled "Maria Sugarpova" if the Florida Supreme Court agrees with her request for the official temporary name change. Count Iblis (talk) 17:22, 20 August 2013 (UTC)

Belarusian not really "Russian"?

According to the article "BELARUSIAN ROOTS of Maria Sharapova" her parents are both Belarusian, this should be cited more explicitly than just saying her parents came from Belarus, no?Historian932 (talk) 18:03, 22 March 2013 (UTC)

The article says "Her parents, Yuri and Elena, are from Gomel, Belarus. Concerned about the regional effects of the 1986 Chernobyl nuclear accident, they left their homeland shortly before Sharapova was born." There is also a source link to a Russian article if you want more info (and you can read Russian). Since this is an encyclopaedic article/summary on Maria and not her parents, this seems like enough to me. What more pre-birth roots info would you like to include? Fyunck(click) (talk) 21:42, 4 October 2013 (UTC)

Weight

59kg? Really? That sounded light for someone who is 6ft 2in so I used a National Health Service BMI checker (http://www.nhs.uk/Tools/Pages/Healthyweightcalculator.aspx) which worked her out as dangerously underweight. My brother is a guy, is 5ft 10in and weighs about that and he is skinny guy. I don't understand why there is such reliance on one source, even if it is from the WTA website. If it said she was 200kg would you accept that? I am not removing the weight purely because it says not to unless you have a valid source to say otherwise. However I do think this sounds incredibly wrong Cls14 (talk) 18:44, 27 March 2013 (UTC)

It is wrong. Tennis and celebrity sites say she is closer to 6'4" and 75kg. I think the WTA only weighs a person once in their careers so she was probably that height and weight when she turned pro. Trouble is we have seen no other reliable source to change those infobox figures. If you can find a good one (not a blog) let us know. Women tend not to talk much about their weight. Fyunck(click) (talk) 19:34, 27 March 2013 (UTC)

Common sense dictates then that it is wrong. But we have no sources to say how much she does weigh. Rather than leaving wrong information on should we perhaps not remove the weight bit completely? Cls14 (talk) 21:41, 27 March 2013 (UTC)

Or perhaps put a qualifier that says "59kg (in 2003)", her first full year in the pros, and when the WTA would have done the weigh-in. Fyunck(click) (talk) 23:13, 27 March 2013 (UTC)

But is there a source for that parenthetical, or are you just taking an educated assumption that it is a 2003 figure? Personally, I'd just get rid of the field; weight changes often enough that any source will soon be out-of-date, and unlike the combat sports or rowing, "weight" has no actual bearing on competition for a tennis player. (Yes, weight matters in tennis, but only in a athleticism/fitness standpoint, not in weight classes or a lightweight boat competition.) Courcelles 03:53, 28 March 2013 (UTC)

The WTA usually does that your first full year on the circuit, and I think that was her first year. But I have no problem with it being removed. We know it's not correct today. Fyunck(click) (talk) 07:36, 28 March 2013 (UTC)

Ok, I am going to be bold and get rid of the category completely as we all agree it's wrong and we can only assume (although it's likely) that it is her 2003 weight Cls14 (talk) 09:48, 28 March 2013 (UTC)

GA?

I have made some clean-ups and now think that this article is near GA-status. Do you think it is ready to be nominated there? Regards.--Tomcat (7) 11:00, 5 May 2013 (UTC)

Definitely worth nominating, although peer review might have been a better first step, would you agree? I'd also consider doing individual season articles for her like they have with Serena and Azarenka but I realise these take an awful lot of work. Spiderone 10:16, 12 May 2013 (UTC)

This is nowhere near ready, not in the last few sections, though it could be with a sprint of hard work. (Like thre reviewer in GA5, I see the same thing, the further down you go, the less good it becomes, but the work can be done.) Courcelles 14:43, 21 May 2013 (UTC)

  • Done. Courcelles 03:34, 19 May 2013 (UTC)
• Since she has been ranked #1 for only 21 weeks and last attained number one on June 11, 2012, we know she has since lost the rank. I think what is important is the last date she held the rank.

2007 - Shoulder injury and fall out of the top 5

• Not sure what is right here. Should it be "being two points away from defeat" or "facing double matchpoint"? I know what the proper tennis jargon is, but I am not sure what WP should present.--TonyTheTiger (T/C/BIO/WP:CHICAGO/WP:FOUR) 23:46, 19 May 2013 (UTC)
  • Those aren't the same thing, though. "Two points from defeat" means the other player is at 30, Sharapova is at less than 30, so two consecutive points lost means match lost. "Double matchpoint means facing a score of 40-15, where Sharapova must WIN the next two points to avoid losing the match. Courcelles 00:06, 20 May 2013 (UTC)
• From my understanding of tennis and who the subjects of the sentence are "ranked world no. 81 at the time" most likely refers to Pin, but the sentence is a mess because of the distance from the referent.--TonyTheTiger (T/C/BIO/WP:CHICAGO/WP:FOUR) 23:46, 19 May 2013 (UTC)

Unsourced material

I have taken the WP:BOLD step of removing all unsourced material from the article. This should make it more compliant with WP:BLP as these are not simple facts like "sky is blue" or "Paris is in France." This information is problematic to remain given the BLP issues. :( Beyond that, it is hard to assess copyright issues when you do not know the sources of information. I ask that unsourced information not be added back to the article. --LauraHale (talk) 11:01, 22 May 2013 (UTC)

BLP states "All quotations and any material challenged or likely to be challenged must be explicitly attributed to a reliable, published source, which is usually done with an inline citation." You can not just remove content that you feel is not supported by the references. I already explained that the official site contains a record of all stats and games.--Tomcat (7) 11:47, 22 May 2013 (UTC)

It is probably a little overboard to remove all unsourced material because of its quality. Please come comment at Wikipedia_talk:Good_article_nominations#Review_shopping. I have tagged the page with {{Refimprove}}.--TonyTheTiger (T/C/BIO/WP:CHICAGO/WP:FOUR) 22:24, 22 May 2013 (UTC)

I have added a tag there. I have CHALLENGED this material. Please pick one option: Tags for all unsourced information, removal of unsourced information, adding a tag at the top that informs people there is a need to fully source this. Because right now, you have had two different editors challenge the lack of sourcing. Given that a B article is supposed to be fully sourced and you RE-INSERTED large chunks of unsourced challenged material, I am dinging the assessment back to a C. This article is nowhere near meeting a B criteria with 19000 KB of unsourced material. --LauraHale (talk) 22:25, 22 May 2013 (UTC)

I got ECed By User:LauraHale else who tagged it before me.--TonyTheTiger (T/C/BIO/WP:CHICAGO/WP:FOUR) 22:27, 22 May 2013 (UTC)--TonyTheTiger (T/C/BIO/WP:CHICAGO/WP:FOUR) 22:27, 22 May 2013 (UTC)

Same problem when commenting. Either solution works. I do not care which option Tomcat wants, but there needs either be a clear indication material is not sourced by tagging in some way (I prefer fact tags as research has shown they are more likely to get cleaned then the bg one a tthe top) or removal of the information. Tomcat cannot have the option of neither, especially since they think the article is GA ready when it does not even meet the criteria for B class, which is pretty much fully sourced. (This does not even get into the issue of unsourced material that talked about her emotional state. How can you do a thorough copyright check when the thing is not sourced?) --LauraHale (talk) 22:34, 22 May 2013 (UTC)

No need to link me everytime you mention me and there is no reason to put a banner if I am working on the article. Stop pretending me to improve the article. Thanks.--Tomcat (7) 11:34, 24 May 2013 (UTC)

Picture

I think the article's main picture for a tennis player should show the player playing tennis.

I mean I guess instead of the current one (upper body purple dress) Sharapova's boyfriend could also take a picture of her in the bed and upload it to Misplaced Pages, but would it be the most appropriate picture?

I hope my point is understood. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 90.244.15.218 (talk) 16:38, 11 June 2014 (UTC)

too many details

Every year has the yearly main article,so did it need so many details in every year summary? I think it can combine to four main parts： Early Year, 2004~2008,2009~2010,2011~present, they're different professional life of Sharapova.--Shiouloo (talk) 00:49, 19 June 2014 (UTC)

Agreed, but then you can say that pretty much with every tennis bio. I don't feel she's any more detailed than Serena or Li or Nadal or Djokovic. Fyunck(click) (talk) 02:59, 19 June 2014 (UTC)

Tied for what ?

The last sentence in the third paragraph of the introduction reads:

"Also, by winning her second French Open title at the 2014 French Open, she became only the 12th women in the Open Era to win 5 or more grand slam singles titles, and she is now tied with Martina Hingis with 5 grand slam singles titles in the Open Era."

Tied for what? This needs to be filled in by someone who is knowledgeable. (E.g., "tied for the fourth-most grand slam titles earned by a woman in the Open Era" or something like that.)Daqu (talk) 19:10, 1 July 2014 (UTC)

Good for her?? Sachin Tendulkar is not mentioned anywhere within the article at the present time, so this comment doesn't really make a whole lot of sense. If you would like to make a edit request, please do so in the form of "please change X to Y", providing any necessary sources. Thanks, NiciVampireHeart 11:55, 4 July 2014 (UTC)

User_talk:NeilN#Maria_Sharapova_edit_on_Sachin_Tendulkar might shed some light. Needless to say, I oppose any mention of Tendulkar right now. --NeilN 13:23, 4 July 2014 (UTC)

It certainly seems a minor issue, about as appropriate for this article as for India or Sachin Tendulkar (i.e., not at all). —Kusma (t·c) 14:00, 4 July 2014 (UTC)

The Sachin Tendulkar issue is trending in facebook and twitter. Plz go to the facebook page of maria sharapova. It is very wrong to say things happening in her own facebook profile and in general in twitter is just an Indian matter. Besides I added that - those commented against her are Indians. it is important, relevant and I have given credible media sources from India and Britain to verify the content.Rameshnta909 (talk) 15:17, 4 July 2014 (UTC)

Again, read WP:NOTNEWS. This is an encyclopedia' and bluntly, we don't care about the news of the day. Come back in a month if the issue is still being talked about in newspapers. --NeilN 16:03, 4 July 2014 (UTC)

Its not against WP:NOTNEWS. Its not an ongoing event in the news. I don't think we have to wait for a long time to include an important incident like this in the article. I am not sure wikipedia had a "one month after news policy" like you said. Sorry friend i have to say this is deliberate blocking of information.Rameshnta909 (talk) 16:12, 4 July 2014 (UTC)

From my (and others) point of view, this is a trivial incident and utterly unimportant to Sharapova's biography. --NeilN 16:19, 4 July 2014 (UTC)

Ah, ok. I hadn't heard anything about this. Seems irrelevant/trivial. I'm sure she's never heard of lots of cricketers - I'm not aware of cricket being a major sport in Russia or the US, so it kinda stands to reason she doesn't know who he is, even if he is more popular/famous/whatever than most other cricket players. I'd agree that it doesn't need to be in the article, or even deserve to be included. NiciVampireHeart 16:24, 4 July 2014 (UTC)

And If she talked the same about David Beckham that can be included? It should not be included becoz sharapova's ignorance about sachin is excusable? So strange - Rameshnta909 (talk) 16:58, 4 July 2014 (UTC)

Who said if she didn't know who Beckham was it should be included? --NeilN 17:18, 4 July 2014 (UTC)

Becoz some editors are blocking a genuine information that should be included in this page. It's sure that some of us came to a conclusion that since sachin is not famous in Russia so sharapova shouldn't know him and the controversy arised out of it should also be ignored. I am sure this section will never be "allowed" in this page - Rameshnta909 (talk) 18:07, 4 July 2014 (UTC)

Well then let us review the entire Misplaced Pages and come up with article/content that is still relevant after 1 month of it. If we go by your 1 month argument then wiki will not be encloypedia it should be latest news. Do you still talk about what date Maria was born? What day she won her first title? Those are not 1 month but 10 years old information and should not content on her page..--Tinaiyer1976 (talk) 17:41, 4 July 2014 (UTC)

This is the kind of logic that drove you to add the same info to the Dalai Lama article? --NeilN 17:56, 4 July 2014 (UTC)

Exactly you got it now. And the discussion here is Maria Sharapova and GOD ( Sachin) so lets keep that to it. You didn't answer my previous question. I hope you have realize that importance of Maria's comment and would have better sense to reinstate article on her page--Tinaiyer1976 (talk) 18:04, 4 July 2014 (UTC)

(off topic) Let's please keep religion out of this conversation.  NQ  talk 18:09, 4 July 2014 (UTC)

Off topic? Where is the answer to my question of removing all the content from each and every article that people are not talking about. your 1 month old policy!--Tinaiyer1976 (talk) 18:18, 4 July 2014 (UTC)

the "(off topic)" tag was my (not Neil's) tongue in cheek response to your GOD comment.  NQ  talk 18:22, 4 July 2014 (UTC)

And Neiln your action is as ignorant as Maria's comment. It seems that defending Maria is something that comes from your personal liking to her..--Tinaiyer1976 (talk) 18:34, 4 July 2014 (UTC)

Please do enlighten me about the "importance" of Sharapova's comment. As far as I understand, it's not as if she went 'Sachin, Who?'. She was informed in a post match press meet that this particular cricketer was in attendance at the match and was asked if she knew who he was. She simply replied, '"I don't." How is this worthy of being included in a BLP ? If Tendulkar was asked about Kevin Martin, I'm sure he would have said the same thing. Like @C.Fred: said here, are you open to adding a section in Tendulkar's article about how he has not had that lasting a legacy, since he is not that well-known outside of India after his retirement?  NQ  talk 18:46, 4 July 2014 (UTC)

Why should anyone enlighten you about this? the importance of the incident is not decided by you or me. If sharapova's comment went unnoticed then its ok. Whether sharapova should know about sachin is not relevant. But her comments are reported by media around the world and it became a main topic of discussion in the social networking sites. Fans of sachin aggressively commented on her facebook page and it became a controversy. Its important, relevant and reported by media all around the world. What are you saying? Its not important becoz sharapova was not supposed to know sachin? Rameshnta909 (talk) 19:10, 4 July 2014 (UTC)

No, the reasons for not including it have already been discussed above.  NQ  talk 19:35, 4 July 2014 (UTC)

The reasons that makes sense to only those who don't want that section to be included - Rameshnta909 (talk) 19:39, 4 July 2014 (UTC)

Please do not assume things what would have Sachin said if asked about certain Kevin Martin. It has not happen yet and the day it happens I would be the first person to include that on Sachin bio. And saying the same thing in two different way: Sachin, Who? and I don't does not change the meaning. And if you think Sachin has not left the lasting legacy please go and add it to his bio. Who told you he is only known in India? He is known in Australia, New Zealand, America, West Indies, Pakistan, Arab and even Obama acknowledge his achievements https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZngdL909h4w --Tinaiyer1976 (talk) 19:19, 4 July 2014 (UTC)

"I would be the first person to include that on Sachin bio." And I would be the first one to remove it. It is clear your opinion on what belongs in a biography differs substantially from what the general Misplaced Pages community accepts. --NeilN 19:24, 4 July 2014 (UTC)

Agreed. The addition would be extremely undue weight. Sharapova gives 1000s of interviews, many with controversy. In January she flirted with an Aussie journalist that made headlines. She commented about gays that made headlines. You say he is known in America, but if you mean the USA I would bet that 99.99% of us have no clue who he is. I've never heard of him. I'm sure he's massively popular in cricket but with all the interviews she gives there's always someone who makes a big deal about her comments. We are not a news service here. If there appears to be longstanding news on this subject we can re-look at it at the appropriate time and discuss the addition. There's no hurry. And even then it would likely be 10 words and no more. Fyunck(click) (talk) 19:53, 4 July 2014 (UTC)

If sachin said he don't know ronaldo or david beckham and that become a controversy like this and reported by media all around the world. What's wrong in adding a controversy like that in sachin's page? "I would be the first to remove it"? Why are you threatening other users when they state their side in a discussion? Rameshnta909 (talk) 19:31, 4 July 2014 (UTC)

Because we're not a celebrity magazine. And the only "threat" I made was a warning when a living person was unnecessarily disparaged. Misplaced Pages is not the place to air petty (or other) grievances. --NeilN 19:49, 4 July 2014 (UTC)

It was asked to me and I replied and not like you to drop a communication. And its not mine but your own thinking that differs from billions of people on this earth. I am yet to get your reply on 1 month activeness of news or action? Do you still talk about Maria's day of birth?--Tinaiyer1976 (talk) 19:34, 4 July 2014 (UTC)

This is a biography. It includes standard biographical details. --NeilN 19:43, 4 July 2014 (UTC)

(edit conflict)Sharapova's date of birth is relevant to the article because it is a useful piece of biographical information about her. We do not really get an understanding of her by turning the article into a catalog of which other sportspeople she is and is not aware of. Misplaced Pages is not a collection of indiscriminate facts.

Thus, there's no reason to mention Tendulkar in this article unless he and Sharapova have worked together in some capacity, or unless this issue generates such prolonged, widespread coverage in news media that it becomes significant. And I stress coverage in news media: mentions of this issue in comments on Sharapova's Facebook page does not rise to the level of significant coverage, nor do mentions of this issue in some other fan-editable website that was cited as a source in the attempts to add the material to this article. —C.Fred (talk) 19:45, 4 July 2014 (UTC)

I don't get what you people are saying. how can it be classified as a trivia? The question is not about her awareness about a certain sports person. Its about the incident which became a huge controversy that is actually celebrated by media all around the world not only in India. the aggressive comments in the facebook page is not the reason to add the section. Those comments led to the news and controversy. Some of us always say to talk just to block the edit from happening. So sad..Rameshnta909 (talk) 19:59, 4 July 2014 (UTC)

Please understand that this isn't personal. Misplaced Pages has a strong BLP policy that must be adhered to, and as such the incident has no place in the article as of now.  NQ  talk 20:07, 4 July 2014 (UTC)

Hey, here are some articles about Indians. , Can we add the content to India? --NeilN 20:11, 4 July 2014 (UTC)

Let me guess.. Not enough..Rameshnta909 (talk) 20:24, 4 July 2014 (UTC)

Is that "prolonged coverage"? No, it is not. --NeilN 20:26, 4 July 2014 (UTC)

If you have not heard about him that speaks about your ignorance and you are within your rights not to know him as long as it does not make headlines news in half of the media world. But current situation has and thus need mention. If you say 99.99% does not know him then you are saying that president Obama the most powerful man on the earth is a liar when he said why his country productivity goes down by 5% when Sachin bats! And I don't think President will lie to world and his countrymen--Tinaiyer1976 (talk) 20:31, 4 July 2014 (UTC)

So, based on the coverage, it seems like we'd need a sentence like "Sharapova's Facebook page was defaced after a July 2014 interview when she stated she was not familiar with retired Indian cricketer Sachin Tendulkar." Is that really signifiant in the big picture about Sharapova? —C.Fred (talk) 20:34, 4 July 2014 (UTC)

Yeah, President Obama did not really say that, however most of the internet including news media seems to think that he actually did. See here  NQ  talk 20:42, 4 July 2014 (UTC)

@neiln why are you hell bound on longevity of the coverage. you need to look at impact. Which news in the last 1000 years has been covered daily for 1 month? And I don't understand your 1 month logic! I reiterated again if we go by 1 month logic of news coverage there would not be any content on Misplaced Pages and you and I would have not been talking now. Even dropping of single atomic bomb did not get coverage for 1 month but we still mention it due to its impact, don't we? --Tinaiyer1976 (talk) 20:38, 4 July 2014 (UTC)

WP:PERSISTENCE is the relevant portion of the notability guidelines. "Events that are only covered in sources published during or immediately after an event, without further analysis or discussion, are likely not suitable for an encyclopedia article." It's too early to say conclusively that the event either has or has not gotten that sort of ongoing coverage; however, it certainly doesn't look likely to be the subject of continued ongoing analysis and discussion. —C.Fred (talk) 20:43, 4 July 2014 (UTC)

Saying the bombings of Nagasaki or Hiroshima did not get reported on a month after they happened is just plain wrong. I'm not saying the incident has to be reported on every day. However coverage has to exist after the initial event occurs to judge its importance. --NeilN 20:55, 4 July 2014 (UTC)

The section I added was too small. Just the relevant facts are included. The sharapova's comment and angry fans response with adequate sources. At least take a look at it.Rameshnta909 (talk) 20:49, 4 July 2014 (UTC)

Even if there is a consensus somehow (highly unlikely as of now) to include the said section, why should it be added here? Shouldn't it go to Tendulkar's page? Afterall, it talks about the behavior of irate fans of his defacing Sharapova's facebook profile. (Not that it has a place there, again see WP:NOTNEWS)  NQ  talk 21:08, 4 July 2014 (UTC)

If we go by this how in this world is Maria endorsing some trivial brand has lasting impact and coverage and is matter of discussion but we have that on her page!! Well now I can see clear picture and I can smell discrimination here--Tinaiyer1976 (talk) 20:51, 4 July 2014 (UTC)

@neiln Well the incident occurred even before Maria was ousted of this year Wimbledon and you and I are still talking about it!! Whereas I bet you don't even know or talk about whom Maria lost to this year? So why have that too on her page? I would say get your facts and logic right before you take such action in future and decide by yourself on editing others inputs. You are making no sense at all--Tinaiyer1976 (talk) 21:03, 4 July 2014 (UTC) @Rameshtna909 well it is highly rated and discuss by neiln in the society that he lives in hence it is there with high weightage!!--Tinaiyer1976 (talk) 21:06, 4 July 2014 (UTC)

Now when you I showed you controversies on Sachin page much less impact then that of Maria comment on Sachin you are backing out of it. Act like a man of reason and don't run away.

That's not the way wikipedia works.

But if the other editors do not see the reason and feel the impact of certain things just because they or their part of society is not involved in it and still they take action of removing the edit is not something that a reasonable editor should take upon himself/herself. I have given enough justification with proof to top 15 media coverage showing the impact of this controversy and still its not enough then I am not sure what we are searching for more here? --Tinaiyer1976 (talk) 22:19, 4 July 2014 (UTC)

And there is certainly no fault in trying. I've certainly tried to get things changed and have lost many battles. Some I win. You give it your best shot and if you fail, you move on. You may never agree and you might always try again to change minds, but not by sheer volume of words. Your website links will "NEVER" be accepted by the way, and hurts your other causes. The main thing is wikipedia is not a blog or newspaper. There is no hurry here. If these items you wish to add are as important as you feel they are, they will still be very important a few months from now. You'd even be able to sit back and wait and tell us all "I told you so" in September when the press is writing new articles about it left and right. Fyunck(click) (talk) 06:02, 5 July 2014 (UTC)

@Tinaiyer1976: Well, your edit was reverted because you were spamming by inserting external links to your the website (EKhichdi.com) to every other article you could find. See contribs. Also see here. We are discussing about Rameshnta909's edits being reverted owing to WP:NOTNEWS and WP:PERSISTENCE. This is not a discussion about your additions to the page. I don't see your edits being restored, as it does not meet WP:RS  NQ  talk 23:02, 4 July 2014 (UTC)

Well first of all who told you that those are my personal own sites/pages. I follow that site like any of us do with CNN, Google etc and you could say that's my favorite. And my edit and Rameshnta909 edits had same goal n purpose. Restore his or mine it serve the same goal--Tinaiyer1976 (talk) 23:20, 4 July 2014 (UTC)

@Tinaiyer1976: A quick google search shows your close association with the website (See here) Anyway, that's neither here nor there. (I've crossed out the reference to "your".) Like Fyunck(click) mentioned, the onus is on you and/or Rameshnta909 to justify the need to add this content in accordance with sound Misplaced Pages policies. Until, then the edits probably wont be restored.  NQ  talk 23:50, 4 July 2014 (UTC)

Maybe we should close this discussion as there is no consensus among fellow editors.Rameshnta909 (talk) 09:46, 5 July 2014 (UTC)

Good idea to close it, but yes, there is consensus, against including the material. Perhaps that was what you meant — that there's no consensus for the material? Bishonen | talk 10:22, 5 July 2014 (UTC).

@rameshnta909 I think you meant there is consensus to add your edit. It desrve a mention on Maria's page if we can have controversy section Sachin. We will not atleast me will not give up on dicremtiation here --Tinaiyer1976 (talk) 14:04, 5 July 2014 (UTC)
