I've wikified the article, but I don't know anything about the subject. It probably shows. Please can someone check it for me? Thanks. P Ingerson (talk) 13:08, 15 February 2006 (UTC)Reply

Would be great to know what genre each title is (short story collection, novel, etc.) then each should be placed in their respective subcategory with "(posthumously published)" with the year.--Aichik (talk) 05:23, 15 November 2013 (UTC)Reply

Puffery / the lead

Latest comment: 7 years ago2 comments2 people in discussion

Please see http://en.m.wiki.x.io/wiki/Wikipedia:Wikipuffery Note this sentence: “Wikipuffery is the puffing of a subject or the addition of praise-filled adjectives and claims. They may be there to exaggerate the notability of the article subject to avoid deletion of the article. Examples include use of adjectives as "famous", "notable", "award-winning", "acclaimed", or "influential", detailed listings of minor biographical details (including complete lists of anything related to the person or topic), and lead paragraphs that proclaim the superiority of the subject.“ Regards, George Custer's Sabre (talk) 14:17, 16 December 2017 (UTC)Reply

There is no puffery here. That P. Lankesh has won a National award for his film Pallavi is a fact and this significant achievement is being noted in the lede. It is not there "to exaggerate the notability of the article subject to avoid deletion of the article." See this: Leonardo DiCaprio. Dicaprio's Golden Globe and Academy Award mentioned in the lede do not amount to puffery as these are facts. -Mohanbhan (talk) 16:50, 16 December 2017 (UTC)Reply
