Ethnic group gallery

Please read WP:NOETHNICGALLERIES. It goes beyond being a 'guideline' as the RfC ([1] addresses the issues of WP:POV and WP:NOR. Ethnic group galleries also require WP:CON. Again, it is not up to any individual editor to make their own selection of notables based on their personal criteria as to who should be represented. For further details, please see this RfC at the Ethnic groups project. --Iryna Harpy (talk) 02:36, 11 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Transferred and slightly modified from User talk:Iryna Harpy:"Hi Iryna, hope you're doing well. These images listed aren't OR or POV issues.They're simply the available images of the people already listed as notable Indian Americans in the local NYC metro area, you may not have noticed the listed names because they were (are) listed down below, away from the images. This population is a much smaller population pool than, let's say, Indian Americans overall - if you see that article, you won't see a standalone notable people section, but rather a fork, for the same reason. I hope you appreciate this fundamental difference. One (local) is simply adding available images of the small pool of people already listed in the notable local people section, while the other (universal) cannot possibly choose the people to list in the first place and hence would present an WP:UNDUE situation. Best, Castncoot (talk) 03:38, 11 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Hi, Castncoot. I do understand your logic, but let's take this to the talk page of the article for the sake of transparency. It's best to ensure that other editors are aware of there being a discussion, and consensus on both our behalves. Would you mind repeating your rationale on that talk page, so that I can respond there. Thanks! --Iryna Harpy (talk) 04:33, 11 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Certainly! Best, Castncoot (talk) 04:57, 11 January 2017 (UTC)"[reply]

Perhaps the images can be transferred back down to the notable individuals section to eliminate any confusion. I don't believe it caused an issue in that location because people could immediately see that the available images were simply of the people already listed immediately to the left. I wouldn't have a problem with that. Best, Castncoot (talk) 05:09, 11 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]

@Castncoot: Aha! Great minds think alike! I was just looking at transferring the gallery (sans header as it's self-explanatory) to the notables section per WP:PERTINENCE. I think that's an excellent method of preventing the sandwiching of images at the top of the article as it looks extremely top-heavy with images as it currently stands. I'm just logging off for the day, so feel free to move the gallery. If you don't have the time, I'll do it when I log in tomorrow. If any other editors object, they're welcome to join in this thread. --Iryna Harpy (talk) 05:25, 11 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Will do. Thanks, Iryna! Best, Castncoot (talk) 05:27, 11 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Washington Square Park Dosa Man

I've removed the image because the Dosa guy is not Indian. The fact that the food he's selling is Indian is not relevant. You could, for example, have zero ethnic Indians in a city and still have someone selling Indian food. --regentspark (comment) 18:31, 23 April 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Bombay, New Jersey vs Little Bombay

The source refers to the neighborhood as "Little Bombay" not as Bombay, New Jersey which, unfortunately, does not appear to a sourced term for the neighborhood. I'm restoring the correct text. Please provide a valid source for Bombay, New Jersey if you disagree. --regentspark (comment) 13:56, 14 July 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Since no sources for Bombay, New Jersey exist, you cant' use that here. Please note that wikipedia, or the existence of a wikipedia article, is no substitute for a reliable source. Also, when there is a talk page discussion, you should use that rather than edit summaries so that a threaded discussion exists. --regentspark (comment) 01:39, 20 July 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Misleading data; Not bigger than Toronto

So far as I can tell, the US Census bureau uses the term "Asian Indian" for anyone of South Asian ancestry, but this page implies this is data for people of Indian ancestry. This also discredits the article's claim that the NYC metropolitan area has the biggest Indian-American population in the Western Hemisphere, because that would make it the Toronto Metropolitan Area, since Canada disaggregates South Asian ancestry.
