I have never interfered with this page till now. But here's the problem--and it may well concern so many others on whom there are biographical pages, not just I.

If a newspaper/website reports a marriage, you include it, but what about divorces? Should they appear in the media before they appear on your page? Media is not the best source for authenticating such life-changes, is it?

If you stick to just this criteria, the whole Wiki will be prone to errors and inaccuracies. My suggestion is that you allow another mode of authenticating, such as a copy or a court record.

Else, you'll have the strange situation in which, say, a person got married, which was reported in the media. So that went into their page. They got divorced, which was not reported. Then either of them got remarried, which was also not reported.

Your page will have the person as still married to a person they divorced, without acknowledging that they got remarried.

In other words, the page would be totally misleading to a general audience.

Please think of a way to solve this.

Hello, I'm Tayi Arajakate. I noticed that you added or changed content in an article, The Hindu, but you didn't provide a reliable source. It's been removed and archived in the page history for now, but if you'd like to include a citation and re-add it, please do so. You can have a look at the tutorial on citing sources. If you think I made a mistake, you can leave me a message on my talk page. Please read WP:RSOPINION. Tayi Arajakate _Talk 12:16, 21 December 2020 (UTC)

Tayi Arajakate, There was a source there. Newslandry.com is owned by the India Today group and they have published the article. Algebraical (talk) 14:44, 21 December 2020 (UTC)

The article is an opinion piece, which are not considered reliable sources for statements of fact. Newslaundry also does not have any relation to India Today. Tayi Arajakate _Talk 15:33, 21 December 2020 (UTC)

Tayi Arajakate, that doesn't mean it isn't a reliable source. Political analysis is always opinion writing/journalism, so in that case, how would you find a source to any political discussion based on any thing other than political points of view? The infobox category "political" for all other newspapers/publications should be removed in that case. Algebraical (talk) 03:17, 22 December 2020 (UTC)

It is owned by India Today. And whether or not it is owned by India Today, NL is an established website. Algebraical (talk) 03:19, 22 December 2020 (UTC)
