first you say: as appeared in over a hundred Hindi films

and two paragraphs later: He has starred in more than 80 Hindi films — Preceding unsigned comment added by 89.43.195.18 (talk) 21:01, 8 April 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Filmography edit

[edit]

Changed release date of RGV Sholay to AUG/SEP of 07 instead of May, also removed London Dreams from the 2007 movie list as the movie has been shelved for now. Come to think of it, the sholay needs to be changed to Aag.

What is a link to the Tarkhan tribe of Punjab doing underneath Ajay Devgan's external links?

Ajay Devgan met or rather started initially courting Kajol in or before 1995 during the making of Hulchul and Gundaraj (I am not sure if those are the two movies but Kajol did mention they started dating when they first signed up for two movies together and my peremptory research at iMDB tells me that would most likely be Hulchul and Gundaraj). So to say they met during the making of Ishq is incorrect.


I have changed it from him marrying Salman Khan to marrying Kajol. I am submitting this article for a check because it has terrible factual errors.


This article is ridiculous apart from movie facts, there is nothing believable left. The author is obviously making fun of Mr Ajay Devgan, i.e. giving false information as in referrig to his homosexuality and dating stories. It's plain awful and should be taken out! 85.178.128.12 00:16, 3 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Devgan --> Devgan?

[edit]

He has, as per his official website, changed his name legally to Ajay Devgn : http://www.ajaydevgn.com/ . Should the article be moved to "Ajay Devgn" and this article redirected to it? I'm not sure about the wiki-policy for name changes like this. Thanks, Rishi.bedi (talk) 04:15, 21 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]

I think WP:COMMONNAME is the relevant policy in this case. A cursory Google News search shows he is being called both Devgan and Devgn by the media, but I'm not sure how reliable that is. Copana2002 (talk)
His official website is ajaydevgan.com -- and the copyright on it says "Ajay Devgn" as well. I think that under WP:COMMONNAME like you linked to, it uses the example of an organization name change being reflected by Wikipedia, so it's reasonable to move it to Ajay Devgan. Is this OK? Rishi.bedi (talk) 03:52, 22 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Look Mr. Bedi, I don't accept all this nonsense. Devgan is Devgan. So what if he changes his spelling. That is an insult to his ancestors. 59.95.19.56 (talk) 18:23, 23 September 2011 (UTC).this is fake information.[reply]

Wekipedia should change the surname from Devgan to Devgn

[edit]

His official website is ajaydevgn.com -- and the copyright on it says "Ajay Devgn" as well. I think that under WP:COMMONNAME like you linked to, it uses the example of an organization name change being reflected by Wikipedia, so it's reasonable to move it to Ajay Devgn or if this is not the sufficient information then you can also find this information on any of the latest biography of Ajay Devgan. So, I think wekipedia should change his surname from Devgan to Devgn. Monu59 (talk) 14:04, 6 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Show that the majority of reliable sources use the spelling you are suggesting rather than the current spelling in the article. Active Banana (talk) 17:57, 6 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]

is it not to shorter about ajay devgan

[edit]

i am expanding the article about ajay devgan because there is insufficient information about Ajay devgan.so please allow me to expand it.

Feel free to do so as long as you are following wikipedia content guidelines:
  • WP:V - content added to articles must be verified by a citation to a reliable source; this is particularly true in regards to content about living people
  • WP:NPOV - present the content in a neutral point of view, not from the perspective of a fanboy or a flamer
  • WP:OR - only present opinions and analysis that are directly attributed to a reliable source.
Follow the rules and have at it! Active Banana (talk) 17:56, 6 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]

{{helpme|Sir please replace the current file by just uploaded file;File:Ajay Devgn.jpg}} Ajaysandy (talk) 09:31 08 July,2010 (UTC)

That specific non-free image cannot be used on Wikipedia, because as stated in WP:NONFREE, No free equivalent. Non-free content is used only where no free equivalent is available, or could be created, that would serve the same encyclopedic purpose.
In the case of this living person, it is always possible to obtain a free image, so 'fair use' cannot be applied.  Chzz  ►  04:21, 8 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Per the above.
In the same policy, it does further explain, in Unacceptable use: Pictures of people still alive, [...] provided that taking a new free picture as a replacement (which is almost always considered possible) would serve the same encyclopedic purpose as the non-free image. This includes non-free promotional images.  Chzz  ►  10:00, 8 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Re: Wedding

[edit]
The incident is relevant, as it gives and idea of:
  1. His background (was going to get married in a Gurudwara)
  2. An insight in to the fame of this star (the fact he had to change the venue of his wedding)
  3. It is directly about this particular film star.

Teen Patti

[edit]

Ajay Devgan was there in Teen Patti but he didn't had any scene with Ben Kingsley. So technically, he didn't work with him.

Time to change to Ajay Devgn

[edit]

Ajay Devgan changed his name to Ajay Devgn many years ago. All the sources nowadays refer to him as Ajay Devgn, as can be evidenced by a simple Google News search. I therefore think its time to change the surname to Devgn per WP:COMMONNAME. Can you give your opinion Ponyo, as you have placed the article under protection, and seem to be the concerned admin in this case. Jupitus Smart 18:58, 21 April 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Requested move 22 April 2017

[edit]
The following is a closed discussion of a requested move. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made in a new section on the talk page. Editors desiring to contest the closing decision should consider a move review. No further edits should be made to this section.

The result of the move request was: page moved. (non-admin closure) GeoffreyT2000 (talk) 16:32, 29 April 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Ajay Devgan → Ajay Devgn – Changed his name to Ajay Devgn 8 years ago. All the sources including most of those in the references, refer to him as Ajay Devgn. Here's 1 link each from each major Indian media house to cite my point - [1] [2] [3] [4] [5] [6]. A search for Ajay Devgan ([7]) or Ajay Devgn ([8]) on Google News provides results for only Ajay Devgn in both the cases. Even his production company has the new name on Wikipedia (Ajay Devgn FFilms). It would therefore be better if the article changes to Ajay Devgn which is the WP:COMMONNAME now. The introductory sentence can be changed to Ajay Devgn (born Vishal Veeru Devgan on 2 April 1969), earlier known as Ajay Devgan, is an Indian film actor, director and producer. Jupitus Smart 09:20, 22 April 2017 (UTC)[reply]

  • Move: Almost all of the recent sources refer to him as Devgn instead of Devgan. A search for the former name also generates more results. When all media outlets refer to him as Ajay Devgn, his article should be moved to the appropriate page. --Skr15081997 (talk) 09:06, 29 April 2017 (UTC)[reply]
The above discussion is preserved as an archive of a requested move. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made in a new section on this talk page or in a move review. No further edits should be made to this section.

Hello Wikipedia team, I want to make a edit request here, Please change infobox image of Devgan to this long standing image from last year or so:-

Reasons are:- 1. This image is there from last 1 year or so before a user pop up and changed it without talk page consensus. 2. This image isn't of top quality either, look at the dark background further even face of Devgan isn't very clear. Therefore please fulfill my edit request. 2409:4051:201C:CC3:AF86:6B6F:3059:FA3D (talk) 08:23, 10 August 2021 (UTC) 2409:4051:201C:CC3:AF86:6B6F:3059:FA3D (talk) 08:23, 10 August 2021 (UTC)[reply]

 Note: It doesn't seem to me that either image is better. It was changed because the current one is more recent. @Rishav2014: Perhaps you could weigh in on this, since you changed the image? — Lauritz Thomsen (talk) 10:38, 10 August 2021 (UTC)[reply]
