N. Kishore Pinpati was removed for the following reason: Apart from a brief burst of prominence in 2000 (see, for instance <http://www.y-axis.com/newsroom/workingcondition.html>, as also other similar notices of around this period) no other verifiable claim to prominence is available. His company Euro-Prisma (Heidelberg) is not to be found any more on the web. If other, verfiable, information on a prominent role of Mr. Pinpati is available, then this should be appropriately worked into any future repeated inclusion in the list of prominent Indian-Germans. Otherwise his inclusion is not justified. Anuragi 08:08, 5 November 2007 (UTC)

Atul Chitnis was removed because he is not an "Indian-German". He was born in Germany as an Indian. and then left to live in India at age 10. Thus he is neither of Indian-German descent nor domesticated in Germany. Moreover, the article pertaining to him in Wikipedia <http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Atul_Chitnis> has been recommended for deletion, which raises doubts as to the label "prominent" too.

I don't know what triggered this off, but just FYI - my mother is a true, full blooded German, with 100% German parents, who can trace their ancestry back many generations, and my entire family in Germany is 100% German (and partially French and Austrian) as well. While I am not too cut up about being (or not being) labeled Indian-German (I consider myself an Indian), let me assure you that you are COMPLETELY wrong with your assumptions.

[edit] Geez!

This article is a mess! Somebody get in here and figure out how best to fix it! The Last Melon (talk) 06:42, 19 November 2007 (UTC)

While the above was being written, a fix was already under way! Anuragi (talk) 07:10, 19 November 2007 (UTC)
