The list was getting just too long for the Bollywood article, so I split it off into its own article.

Some discussion of the links between the clans might be nice. Zora 05:20, 30 April 2006 (UTC)

Contents 1 Couple of inaccuracies 2 A lot of irrelevant information needs cleaning 3 Why this article should be edited, not deleted 4 Redlinked and unlinked names

[edit] Couple of inaccuracies

1.Om Puri is not Amrish and Madan Puri's cousin

2. Gulshan Kumar did not marry Anuradha Paudwal, though there were rumors about an affair which was in between the two.

[edit] A lot of irrelevant information needs cleaning

• This list must be limited to individual names which made a career of their own in film industry, not because of nuptial tie or they are born in a family with a member in film industry.

Like, Shweta Nanda, her daughter Navya Naveli and Agastya Nanda must not get a place. Another example: Sara Ali Khan (Saif and Amrita's daughter) and Ibrahim Ali Khan (Saif and Amrita's son). Yashodhara Oberoi was not individually related to industry. And many other irrelevant informations. This is a encyclopedia not a fan site.

• Families must have a downward hierarchical structure. S.D. Burman is listed under Mangeshkar Family, Asha was her daughter-in-law so Asha became a member of Burman family. Burman Sr. wasn't send to Mangeshkar family.

• Some incorrect informations are also there.

Sushmita Sen is not a member or descendant of Suchitra Sen's family.

[edit] Why this article should be edited, not deleted

It exists because people kept adding this information to the main Bollywood article. It is indeed relevant to an understanding of the Bollywood film industry. All the red links need to be removed, as well as the idiocy about the Ganguly family.

It could perhaps be renamed and recast as an article on Bollywood film clans, removing the "list" format, which tempts editors to show off their knowledge of the film world by adding ever more irrelevant names.

Can't expect me to do it, as I've been outa here for months, and feeling better for it. Zora 18:45, 13 November 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Redlinked and unlinked names

Should the list include all the names of people of all the clans? I am sure that any family that runs four generations deep will have hundreds of names to feature here. But, is that a goal? I'd rather propose to have people who already has an article on the Wikipedia, and remove the rest. If someone is notable enough to feature here, should also be notable enough to have his/her own article. I have a mind to start removing all non-notable names from the article within the week. So, if there's an objection, please, let be known here by that time. I really have found out that posting a proposition and waiting for someone to respond is a complete waste of time, and in case of Wikipedia, the response may take years to come. This doesn't need to wait that long. Aditya^{(talk • contribs)} 16:07, 22 March 2008 (UTC)
