I've gone through all the references cited, vouch for it meeting requirements of a good article status and would like to suggest that this article be moved to the same.

=Check for Neutrality

This article is a promotional material and biased to promote Kapil Sibal and should be checked for Neutrality. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Wikicrawlerone (talk • contribs) 23:49, 1 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]

This article sounds like promotional material. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 65.93.41.143 (talk) 02:03, 14 May 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Not neutral. No criticism section. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 120.56.217.50 (talk) 17:01, 15 August 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Highly promotional material. I suggest adding a controversy section.Also this line "Kapil Sibal has visited several countries such as the USA, Canada, Pakistan, Saudi Arabia, Afghanistan, Switzerland, China, Taiwan, Bhutan, South Africa, Nigeria, Senegal and several South East Asian Countries, throughout Europe and North Africa." is completely unnecessary so I am removing it.

Edit request from 122.177.82.64, 17 August 2011

This edit request has been answered. Set the |answered= or |ans= parameter to no to reactivate your request.

This article has been recently vandalized. As of now the first line reads: Kapil Sibal alias Chor (Punjabi: ਕਪਿਲ ਸਿਬਲ, Hindi: कपिल सिब्बल; born 8 August 1948) is a Non-Indian politician and a non-practicing lawyer.

It should be: Kapil Sibal (Punjabi: ਕਪਿਲ ਸਿਬਲ, Hindi: कपिल सिब्बल; born 8 August 1948) is an Indian politician and a practicing lawyer.

The person being discussed is a senior cabinet minister in the Govt. of India and a senior lawyer of great repute. Vandalism should be strongly discouraged and the such profiles should only be allowed to be edited by established Wikipedia editors. --122.177.82.64 (talk) 19:25, 17 August 2011 122.177.82.64 (talk) 19:25, 17 August 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Done. Feezo (send a signal | watch the sky) 19:23, 18 August 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Another vandalism

I came to find information about Sibal and found an instance of obvious vandalism that I rolled back. As Sibal appears to have received recent notoriety for his censorship activities, I'm looking for the way to request a limited (anonymous edits for short duration) edit lock to be installed on the page. I have no interest in the subject of the article, but don't like vandalism.

Fydfyd (talk) 13:48, 6 February 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Done. Thanks for the alert. As this is a long term problem, I've semi-protected the page for 3 months. Feezo (send a signal | watch the sky) 18:30, 6 February 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Current position

What is his current position? It seems that the information is not updated. -- Abhijeet Safai (talk) 09:06, 26 November 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Kapil Sibal Wikipedia

Hi Wiki Team,

While surfing, I found some issue with the page with the URL: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kapil_Sibal. The DOB for Kapil Sibal is not the same throughout. In the beginning it shows Kapil Sibal born on 9 August 1948. But in the later sections it has changed to 8 August 1948. Kindly look into the issue, as people like me believes and refers WIKI for everything. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 202.67.6.11 (talk) 15:20, 18 February 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Orphaned references in Kapil Sibal

I check pages listed in Category:Pages with incorrect ref formatting to try to fix reference errors. One of the things I do is look for content for orphaned references in wikilinked articles. I have found content for some of Kapil Sibal's orphans, the problem is that I found more than one version. I can't determine which (if any) is correct for this article, so I am asking for a sentient editor to look it over and copy the correct ref content into this article.

Reference named "Press":

From Switzerland: Press in Switzerland pressreference.com. Retrieved on 25 June 2009
From 2004 Indian Ocean earthquake and tsunami: Press Trust of India (30 December 2004) "Alert scaled down, capping day long confusion."

I apologize if any of the above are effectively identical; I am just a simple computer program, so I can't determine whether minor differences are significant or not. AnomieBOT ⚡ 11:27, 26 February 2016 (UTC)[reply]
