This article is called Billions in Change. It is not an article about Bhargava or his other companies. These are covered in his biography: Manoj Bhargava -- — Keithbob • Talk • 22:48, 21 December 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Title change

The company Billions in Change LLC has not received enough press coverage to be notable. However, the film, Billions in Change has. I propose we rename this article: Billions in Change (film). Comments?-- — Keithbob • Talk • 22:48, 21 December 2015 (UTC)[reply]

What Is Needed to Complete This Article

This article is classified as a stub-class due to the limited information it provides on the subject of Billions in Change. The article is very confusing for viewers and does not include all the information to have a surface level understanding of the topic. For instance, the definition only includes that it is a LLC, the founder, and a vague idea of the company's goals. The next section M88 does not explain what M88 is and includes a little information on the company's humanitarian plans based on their film.

The article should include specific information on the technologies they develop such as bikes, medical devices, and etc, and how or why the Billions in Change aids elimination of world poverty. The article should also include a timeline of the introduction of the company and significant events, such as the company planning to donate money or technology in 2016. Did they actually donate it? If they did or did not, these are things to show through a timeline. The article should also explain M88 or change the title of the section. In this section, I focus more on the film and make the section more about the introduction of the company through the film. The title of the section could be centered around the idea of this film. I would also do a section on the founder since his humanitarian goals are a reason for the company’s creation and goals. His section should be more focused towards his humanitarian efforts in regards to the Billions in Change LLC. not his other company or personal bio.

These edits would help not only expand the topic but deepen the understanding of the company and their goals.

What is Needed to Complete this Article?

My initial takeaway on this article was the lack of information on the topic. Overall, I would make a few changes to help this article thrive.

I would start with how the information is presented. As a reader, the confusion from the lack of information makes understanding the topic difficult. I would collect more information and pull out the strongest and most valid points. This would allow the reader to follow the information provided more easily.

I would also focus on more concise and detailed examples to help support the topic. This would allow the reader to have quick and notable show of what the topic is about. Also, this creates a good flow of information.

In the focus of information, I would make sure the sections provide accurate and focused information. This would take away from the confusion readers may have in following the article. 128.198.34.174 (talk) 23:21, 8 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]
