Ethnicity and Birthplace of P V Sindhu

Pusarla Venkata Sindhu is an Andhra Telugu girl born in Secunderabad or Hyderabad. Her parents PV Ramana and P Vijaya are from Coastal Andhra (Old Krishna District -- which includes West Godavari, Krishna and Guntur). PV Sindhu is a non-vegetarian. The family is either Kapu, Vaisya, Brahmin or Kamma. Please follow their personal interviews and all non-sense will be cleared. She is not a Jat and there is no such Telugu caste. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Pvsaraswathi (talk • contribs) 12:02, 19 August 2016 (UTC)

P.V.Ramana was born in West Godavari, Coastal Andhra. His wife P Vijaya of Vijayawada, Coastal Andhra was also a Volleyball player. They have two daughters. His younger daughter P.V.Sindhu is a Badminton medalist. The family live in Ratnalammakunta (West Godavari), Guntur, Vijayawada, and Secunderabad.

P V Sindhu is a South Indian badminton player who is Telugu by ethnicity. Certain Ip addresses are giving her family as Jat which is a North Indian Aryan Surname. Kindly check these vandalism that is being done by these Ip Addresses. These Ip adresses User:2406:5600:b5:60a0:1597:2ffb:287b:e78 ,User:116.202.253.38, User:CLCStudent are notorious for mentioning the same ethnicity at other articles possibly creating vandalism. Her place of Birth in the officially entered Glasgow Commonwealth Games 2014 is mentioned as Secunderabad, a division of Hyderabad located in Telangana Region, India. Mencherla is a wrong birth place without any source indication. Kindly look into the matter and take necessary action.--Chintu89 (talk) 16:48, 18 August 2016 (UTC)

Please note that she is a Telugu Brahmin and not a Telugu Jaat as there is no presence of Jat community in south part of India. Requesting wikipedia to correct ethnicity of PV Sindhu. Thanks. Vicky.jaat21 (talk) 19:45, 18 August 2016 (UTC)

@Chintu89 and Vicky.jaat21: For the caste/ethnicity, you need reliable sources which contain self-identification. For relevant details and discussion links, see User:Sitush/Common#Castelists. The YouTube videos, which Chintu89 provided at the article's 'Childhood and early training' section, doesn't clarify her ethnicity. BTW, if you can speak Telugu then it doesn't mean you are of Telugu ethnicity. - NitinMlk (talk) 20:09, 18 August 2016 (UTC)

@NitinMlk: The Surname Pesarla is Telugu brahmin Surname and what else proof you need to indicate her identity. Your surname must be some Malik, its a north Indian surname. On what basis was she called Jat? Where is the proof? For your information, the name Sindhu is common given name for girls in both Telangana and Andhra Pradesh and it may be coincidence with some other name Sindhu in North. With her parents south indian name like P v Ramana and P venkata. Do you think they are some north Indians? --Chintu89 (talk) 20:19, 18 August 2016 (UTC)

@Chintu89: Calm down. I have already removed 'Jat' caste from her article multiple times. And read User:Sitush/Common#Castelists. It contains all the info & discussion links you need. And we can't add caste/ethnicity as per the surname. If you have reliable sources, which contain self-identification, then add her caste/ethnicity in the article. Otherwise refrain from it. - NitinMlk (talk) 20:26, 18 August 2016 (UTC)

@NitinMlk: I have refrained from it many times. But a lot of Id's are adding "Jat" intentionally through different User Id's. Now who will stop them? In order to counter them, I mentioned her real ethnicity. Her mention of ethnicity is not important to me(whether they mention here or not) because we know that she belongs to our community but when you post false information for other people that she is Jat or something to get some publicity or attention towards a community by various notorious robotic user Id's. It was just not tolerable. Now how you deal with that user Id's is upto you because they are regularly posting "Jat family" on the biography page. --Chintu89 (talk) 20:38, 18 August 2016 (UTC)

@Chintu89: Yes, there's a lot of vandalistic activity going on here. If you again see any such addition then please remove it. I will also try to do the same. In fact, I have already warned few of them. - NitinMlk (talk) 20:44, 18 August 2016 (UTC)

PV Sindhu is from Bramhin Caste and not Jat

PV Narasimha Rao's relative and from Bramhin caste just like PV Narasimha Rao who was CM and PM. Pusarla is bramhin name its obvious and not Kamma or Kapu or any other caste. Her father is PV and these Venkata names are kept by Bramhins. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 182.72.228.46 (talk) 16:16, 22 August 2016 (UTC)

Vandalism

Will everybody stop vandalixing the article by removing the word, Jat. He is a Jat. I dont know why nobody will accept it. Maybe it is because nobody wants to admit that they are wrong. Either way, stop removing Jat. 66.87.77.115 (talk) 19:53, 20 September 2016 (UTC)

Image

I've replaced the "fashion" image with a more sporty one but if someone could find a better one that would be good. Generally, a sports person should be shown in a sports milieu and the NAC jewelers image is not appropriate in the infobox (though it could go elsewhere in the article). --regentspark (comment) 14:25, 14 April 2018 (UTC)

Recent revert

Dey subrata, Sindhu has won a single title at BWF's multinational events, i.e. the WC title of this year. As far as open tournaments are concerned, she has 4 titles at the reputed BWF open tournaments, namely 3 at Super Series & 1 at the World Tour. Even if you consider the low rung open events, she has 6 & 4 titles at Grand Prix and International Challenge resp. That's sum up her career at the BWF circuit, and these titles cannot be considered as "numerous". Actually, we don't use such WP:PEACOCK terms, as they violate WP:NPOV, esp. when we don't have multiple high-quality sources to back up such WP:EXTRAORDINARY claims/wordings. If you take into account the number of events conducted every month by the BWF, then this title tally is just average. So, why did you reinstate such unsourced, ambiguous, & promotion term? You should either reinstate the NPOV term (which you reverted with this edit) or should provide multiple high-quality sources which support the reinstated puffery, i.e. "numerous". Thanks. - NitinMlk (talk) 19:57, 14 December 2019 (UTC)

NitinMlk The line exactly written was, "Pusarla has won medals at numerous tournaments on the BWF circuit including a gold at the 2019 World Championships..." And in your edit summary you've written.. "won only handful of titles". The word numerous is not used for titles but for tournaments. She won medals at 1 Olympics, 1 A.Games, 2 S.A Games, 5 BWF World Cmship, 4 BWF World Tour, 7 BWF Superseries, 9 BWF Grand Prix. So you can't call it a "multiple" which is used for more the once used most in case of twice or thrice not for 30 tournaments..or 25 BWF Tournaments. Secondly, you have considered "numerous titles" instead of "numerous tournament". So before doing edit please open eyes and see exactly what you are editing. Thus "won handful of titles" and "comparison with Lin Dan" both are misleading edit summary per WP:SUMMARYNO. Dey subrata (talk) 20:58, 14 December 2019 (UTC)

As I have already clarified, BWF don't award medals in open tournaments, as players don't represent their nation in them. So there are no medals in the BWF open events. And among multinational events, only Olympic and WC are the BWF individual events in which Sindhu has won medals. For clarification related to BWF events, please see Badminton World Federation#Tournaments. And please keep the content-related discussion here. - NitinMlk (talk) 21:36, 14 December 2019 (UTC)

Just to clarify again, multinational events like Asian Games, Commonwealth Games, South Asian Games, etc. aren't part of the BWF circuit. - NitinMlk (talk) 21:59, 14 December 2019 (UTC)
