FAQ — READ THIS FIRST if you are requesting changes
[edit] | This section is pinned and will not be automatically archived. |
- Why are you saying it's suicide? The investigation is ongoing!
Various credible secondary sources - in this case, mainstream news outlets - reported that Mumbai's[1][2] and the AIIMS'[3] medical examiners determined it was suicide and that Rhea Chakraborty is being accused of abetment of suicide.[4][5] Note that the final determination of death doesn't mean the investigation is over, especially in a case involving a celebrity (see also Chris Benoit double-murder and suicide). We are also not allowed to cite investigation or government documents as they are considered primary sources.
- This death is mysterious! Why aren't you calling it as such?
The actual mechanism of death - asphyxia via hanging - is publicly known and not seriously disputed by any sensible party. We also do not use words or terms that imply profoundness where there is only vagueness in Wikipedia's voice - they must always be attributed.
- This is a case of murder! Why aren't you saying so?
No official investigations or credible news reports are calling Rajput's death a murder, with the CBI-sanctioned AIIMS autopsy review definitively ruling it out[3] and the CBI definitively ruling out any sort of foul play.[6] Wikipedia does not include fringe or conspiracy theories that no credible source is taking seriously, and our biographical policy likewise forbids us from including them in this particular instance.
- Why are you rejecting my interpretation of the sources?
We're not allowed to synthesize new information by "reading between the lines". We are limited to whatever information the source explicitly says. Creative interpretations of sources also flagrantly violate our biographical policy.
- The Central Bureau of Investigation said (something)! Why aren't you mentioning this?!
The CBI has outright stated that they are not shar[ing] any details of the investigation with the media
and that any claims attributed to it (As of the time of this writing, 19 September 2020 UTC) are not credible
.[7] It should be noted this is generally standard operating procedure for serious investigations the world over, generally to avoid prejudicing the case before it goes to a jury or (as has happened here) inflaming a trial by media.
- Why are you censoring his height?
Unless a person is notable specifically for their height or their height is otherwise relevant (such as for sports where height/weight is a major factor), Wikipedia's policy is to omit height from a person's article and infoboxes. Sushant Singh Rajput's article is no exception; the only time height was ever mentioned in the article was either as the result of unsourced edits prior to the announcement of his death or additions made immediately after the news broke on social media, all instances of which were reverted quickly on the English-language Wikipedia for having no source and which would shortly after be removed from the article on Hindi Wikipedia for the same reason. See Talk:Sushant_Singh_Rajput/Archive_1#Height for more details.
- If the news of Rajput's demise broke around 2:15 p.m. then why did the article have death info around 9 am?
The confusion here is of time zones. News broke around 2:15 p.m. IST. Wikipedia shows timestamps in UTC. IST is 5 hour 30 minutes ahead of UTC. Death info first appeared in article at 8:55 UTC (this edit) which means at 14:25 IST (2:25 p.m.)
- What about Sushant's sister Priyanka? Doesn't she get a say in this?
Unless she (or one of her supporters) has additional sources that can back up her assertions, no. It should be noted that Priyanka is herself the subject of an FIR in connection with the case.[8]
- Why are you rejecting my edit request out of hand?
When someone requests an edit that is very likely to be challenged, they are required to provide links to credible published secondary sources that support the edit they wish to make. In addition, requests to make edits against a consensus or that are part of an ongoing dispute will generally be declined.

Partnership
[edit]The IB template "|partner=" parameter documentation says - If particularly relevant, or if the partner is notable; "partner" here means unmarried life partners in a domestic partnership (of any gender or sexual orientation), not business partner...
. The article on domestic partnership says - "People in domestic partnerships receive legal benefits that guarantee right of survivorship, hospital visitation, and other rights". None of these things including agreements and registrations are sourced in any of the citations used in the article. Note that such relationships (live-in including) are widespread in the film industry. Inb4 we are flooded with such in similar articles, Also note that this person also claimed it. It is regarding the recent addition [1] to the longstanding version of the article without consensus and subsequent reverts. Hence starting this section per WP:BRD.
