I am nominating this for featured list because I believe it meets the criteria. I've been working on this list for quite a long period of time. Look forward to your comments and suggestions. —Vensatry (Ping me) 18:19, 19 November 2012 (UTC)[reply]

- Support— Nice changes since my last review. Zia Khan 00:12, 1 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]
- Oppose without citations. Vivvt was trying to figure it out with Directorate of Film Festivals on the copyrights issue. Moonriddengirl was somewhat involved in it. There was no conclusion of removal of citations. In worst case, citations could be cut short. But without citations this article is incomplete. §§Dharmadhyaksha§§ {T/C} 11:51, 27 November 2012 (UTC)[reply]
- Also, in this case, we are copying citations from various catalogues and not just one. That much would be covered in fair-use. §§Dharmadhyaksha§§ {T/C} 11:53, 27 November 2012 (UTC)[reply]
- Is there a requirement to add those citations just because other articles have that? I'm personally against adding those citations since the article wouldn't be benefited much from adding them. Also this being an encyclopedia, giving more weight age for them seems totally meaningless. I'd wait for others' opinion in this case. —Vensatry (Ping me) 06:42, 28 November 2012 (UTC)[reply]
- The citation states why the jury considered this performance notable enough to be awarded. How is that meaningless? Meaningless would be that Role(s) column. §§Dharmadhyaksha§§ {T/C} 07:12, 28 November 2012 (UTC)[reply]
- I do agree that Role(s) are not significant unless it is notable. I've added that since other award pages (Oscars) have them. But adding citations to an encyclopedia sounds like promotional stuff. Also the citations are not available for all the years, and it would look like dominating the whole table. —Vensatry (Ping me) 07:53, 28 November 2012 (UTC)[reply]
- I am not objecting that column of role(s). What i meant was that this column is more meaningless than those citations in comparison. And how is it promotional? If someone jumps in a fire and saves 3 kids and wins National Bravery Award will stating the reason for conferring the award be promotional? What is being promoted here? In such case, stating that someone won such and such award is itself promotional. All award articles are promotional then. And we cant help if citations were never given previously by DFF. And whats wrong with it dominating the list? Currently the beautiful faces are dominating the list. Better the award list is dominated by what they did than how they generally look. §§Dharmadhyaksha§§ {T/C} 09:28, 28 November 2012 (UTC)[reply]
- We are not presenting a book on Indian cinema to praise the acting performances of our actors. Inclusion of images are a part of the FLC criterion. We have a separate project for those who are keen on quotes. Besides, overusage of quotations, which you're suggesting is not advisable too. As I said earlier, I'd wait for others to comment on this issue. —Vensatry (Ping me) 12:18, 28 November 2012 (UTC)[reply]
- Do as you wish! §§Dharmadhyaksha§§ {T/C} 16:55, 28 November 2012 (UTC)[reply]
- What are you talking??? Its Obvious!!! The FLC writers wont have a divination that someone is gonna raise a FLC for a award given in India whose jury will state reasons of granting awards. Why will they ever write whether citations is needed or not?!?!?! Criterion like these will never be speaking about everything. How will they ever possibly do that?? Thats why they say that comprehensiveness is needed in the article. When you are excluding the reason for grating the award, the article is not comprehensive; its incomplete, especially when such citation is present. Filmfare's jury doesn't speak about it and hence no citation is needed there. But it is needed here as the information is available.
And i don't understand why is it so difficult for you to get the grip of what exactly is educational and what is not. It does not matter what the character's name was. It does not matter what language the film was in. But it matters what exactly appealed to that jury that they thought of worth complimenting with this award. In the notes column of Bharat Ratna for Lata Mangeshkar, we do not write that she is a Hindu or has long hair or has composed under name Anandghan. We write "Playback singer". Because that's why she has been conferred by that award; not for all the other things that she is.
And i have already said that you may do whatever you wish to do. My oppose doesn't stop any of the FL directors from putting a star on this page. They will do what they wish to do.
And if you want "your-definition" constructive comments, i have those too. Change the colour scheme of the list back to yellow shades. It matches with all the 130 articles and 17 templates of NFA. Of course, i understand that you must have changed it to blue as it wasn't mentioned in FLC. Also it does not matter in which year the award ceremony took place. The awards are given for films certified in that calendar year. Both 16th National Film Awards and 17th National Film Awards were presented in 1970 but they weren't for one and the same year. §§Dharmadhyaksha§§ {T/C} 20:12, 1 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]

- There are many things to be included other than these floral compliments. We have other things like jury, presenter, etc., We cannot go ahead and add all those which other people might think are essential. I've included the "roles" column since similar FLs follow that pattern. As I said earlier, this is not "wikiquote" to include chunks of quotations. I'm not going to set a new precedent to new FLs by including these citations. —Vensatry (Ping me) 05:08, 2 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]
- Again! They are not floral comments. They are comments by much esteemed jury members, definitely better qualified than you. When students of cinema will be studying these awards, they would want to know WHY the award was presented. FLs and FAs on WP should not be made just because they look good. They should be complete with relevant encyclopaedic information.
Frankly speaking i dont think you understand what educational information is and what a filler trivial is. It seems you only want FLs to your credit and nothing else. That's the reason you also seem to be worried about all the work required to write citations. Well then there is a good line for you; "Wikipedia is not compulsory". And i am no longer replying to your nonsensical replies. My oppose stands as it is. FL directors can decide whatever they want. §§Dharmadhyaksha§§ {T/C} 06:31, 2 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]

- A single question which you never bothered to answer. In what way are these citations encyclopedic? We include them just to add some essence to the article. Including them just because one person likes it doesn't seem sensible at least to me. I'm not begging for your support, so let's stop here as I don't have time to respond for such frivolous questions. —Vensatry (Ping me) 13:24, 2 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]
- "It seems you only want FLs to your credit and nothing else". Making these kind of statements are totally irrelevant to this discussion. If getting FLs is my only goal, I have tons of lists to look into. It is evident that you along with one more editor take it as a personal vengeance for the failure of the 59th NFA FLC and are planning to spoil this process. If that's your wish, good try! I don't have to listen to such bad-faith people and nothing stops me. —Vensatry (Ping me) 13:33, 2 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]
- Do we have any existing FL where these type of citations (comments from Jury why this candidate was selected as the best) are used? Otherwise, it does not seem to be a good precedence to create. For Best Films of the year or Best Direction of the year, these can still make some sense, but for Best Actor or Best Actress it always boils down to something like this: "he/she was able to bring about a wide range of emotions" or "he/she portrayed the character (after specifying few specifics about the character) very nicely". So, how can they add any value to an encyclopedic article? --GDibyendu (talk) 14:57, 2 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]
No, we have no FLs that I'm aware of that contain massive copyright violations, nor repeat verbatim these hagiographical citations which are in no real way encyclopedic. By all means link out to reliable sources that publish this kind of rubbish, but we don't want it polluting an encyclopedia. The Rambling Man (talk) 20:43, 19 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Comments – Let me start off by saying that I don't think we want text copied from a website inserted wholesale into an FL candidate. I don't mind seeing a quote or two to liven up the writing, but almost 50 of them is borderline copyvio.

"The State Awards instituted the individual award in 1968 as the "Urvashi Award for the Best Actress"" What does "individual award" mean here? This particular award? Or, in general, awards for individuals (such as actors or actresses)?--Dwaipayan (talk) 05:49, 8 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Support Now that all my concerns (discussed above) have been addressed satisfactorily, I feel this list meets featured list criteria. Nice job!--Dwaipayan (talk) 15:34, 13 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]
