Incorrect naming of person[edit]

Hi, not an editior, did not read guidelines. Noticed that the election issues portion mentions Mr. Revanth Reddy (Chief Minister of Telangana) being arrested, while in fact Mr. Arun Reddy (as noted in the reference provided) who was arrested.

Semi-protected edit request on 5 May 2024[edit]

In the sub-section titled, "Indian National Developmental Inclusive Alliance" under the section titled, "Party campaigns", please add this, "While campaigning for the 2024 Indian general election, Trinamool Congress legislator Humayun Kabir stated that he will toss BJP followers into the Bhagirathi River, a branch of the Ganges in West Bengal, in a span of two hours after winning, as Muslims constitute 70℅ of the population of Murshidabad.[1][2]" 49.205.130.221 (talk) 15:57, 5 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Please also add the same sentence to the India section of the Anti-Hindu sentiment article. 49.205.130.221 (talk) 15:58, 5 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Investigation on Opposition - Not an election issue[edit]

Hello @Borgenland

I noticed you reverted my edits to the "Investigation into opposition" section. Could you please explain why you added this section under Election Issues? None of the citations seem to provide enough evidence that this is an election issue, which appears to violate WP:REL and WP:OR guidelines. The highlighted issues - here, do not seem to include the topic you added. Please provide reliable sources to support your reasoning.

Thanks. SpunkyGeek (talk) 18:39, 17 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I had already placed more than enough multiple WP:RS to explain their relation in the elections, particularly that the Congress party has commented on the arrest of Kejriwal, the leader of the nation's capital and not some village leader (as I ought to have explained in the edit summary), which also explains why Kejriwal received significant attention outside the country during the campaign, and the washing machine reference which was picked upon by reliable sources. As for the tax predicament, I did initially use the word evasion but was overruled by subsequent editors citing doubts over the credibility of authorities on whatever to call it. Same issue goes with the corruption word. For transparency I was not responsible for any additions involving India-based refs due to prior concerns on reliability. On a friendly note, I strongly advise you not to rely on a single source, which although I regard as credible, can only tell so much. Borgenland (talk) 18:46, 17 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]
The sources cited do not provide evidence that Kejriwal's arrest is a significant election issue for voters in the 2024 Lok Sabha elections. They primarily discuss election news and not voter concerns. The Lok Sabha elections cover the entire country, with the Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) contesting only 22 out of 543 seats, indicating limited national impact. Without concrete evidence that Kejriwal's arrest is influencing voter priorities on a broader scale, including it as a major election issue may violate Wikipedia's guidelines on WP:REL and WP:OR. Therefore, the inclusion of this topic as an election issue miust be reconsidered.
Similarly, the discussion of the Congress party's funds predicament lacks sources that specifically identify it as an election issue for voters. Even publications like the BBC do not list it as a significant concern for voters in the 2024 Lok Sabha elections. Therefore, these reports appear to be news coverage rather than evidence of voter priorities. Including this topic as an election issue seems to constitute original research, aiming to present it as a voter concern without proper verification, which may violate Wikipedia's guidelines on WP:REL and WP:OR.
Thanks. SpunkyGeek (talk) 16:53, 18 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]
In that case I would be open to moving it to another section in this article. But at this stage I do not see reason to remove it altogether, as the events are too significant to be swept under the rug. Borgenland (talk) 16:57, 18 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Thank you, @Borgenland, for acknowledging this as a valid concern.
For now, I suggest moving these information pieces to the respective party campaigns. Please relocate the Congress Party funds information here, and create a new section for the AAP where you can move the related information. SpunkyGeek (talk) 17:11, 18 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Done, but I am still working on delineating the AAP in the investigations section, given that they happen to be the most prominent example in that case. Will take a while on that. Borgenland (talk) 17:18, 18 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Additional Data for Voter Turnout[edit]

The phase-wise voter turnout data officially released by the Election Commission of India is trifurcated into Male, Female and Third Gender. Since the data is official and adds to the comprehension of the reader, I recommend an addition of a small table below the state-wise breakup, enumerating a phase-wise gender-wise matrix, or if it does not make the state-wise table cumbersome, which I believe will, then within the state-wise table itself.

Below are the links provided pertaining to the said data:

Region-wise result - Consensus Required[edit]

Providing region-wise result is a new practice, as the same was not provided in pages for previous election. As with anything new, a healthy discussion is always a good practice before its implementation.

Following are the points I am placing,

  1. The division of Indian states based on cardinal directions can be perceived as arbitrary since there are many definitions prevailing in public. To elaborate, the following is an extract from another Wikipedia page which pertains to "North India" : The Hindu newspaper puts Bihar, Delhi and Uttar Pradesh related articles on its North pages. Articles in the Indian press have included the states of Bihar, Gujarat, Jharkhand, Madhya Pradesh, and West Bengal in North as well.
  2. The table as of now takes only the states of Odisha and West Bengal as East India, whereas the Wikipedia page for East India also considers Bihar and Jharkhand as part of East India, so does the Zonal Councils. And then as stated above, a prominent newspaper, reports news of Bihar in its North India section.
  3. Except for South India, and North East India, all other groupings are capable for producing confusing inferences within readers.
  4. Things become more complicated if one assumes geography as the basis - southern half of the state of Maharashtra is as south as almost the entire state of Telangana, which is categorized as South India. Also, Rajasthan can be considered as a Western, Northern or North-Western State.
  5. Even within the Government, different Ministries have their own way of dividing regions based on cardinal directions - Eg: Ministry of Culture (Cultural Zones of India), Home Ministry (Zonal Councils of India)
  6. Still the data can be useful to the readers. Hence, if one were to include the table, what comprises as the said region should be provided readily.

I recall someone did try to make a regional table months ago but got taken down citing WP:OR. Borgenland (talk) 16:51, 27 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]
I didn't know about that, saw the table for the first time today. and thereby felt like discussing it. MrMarshMan (talk) 17:02, 27 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]
It seems like that the table is here to stay, which makes consensus building more pertinent before an edit wars start. MrMarshMan (talk) 06:51, 28 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]
The one who removed it hasn't been back. And honestly I won't be keen on having a regional table that would be the source of future edit wars given your insights into these different parameters. Borgenland (talk) 12:50, 28 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Redundancy in INC manifesto[edit]

Rahul Gandhi as PM candidate[edit]

Congress President Mallikarjun Kharge has put forward the name of Rahul Gandhi for his PM choice. Should we replace his name and image with of Rahul Gandhi's in the info box since he himself supported his candidature? Kalpesh Manna 2002 (talk) 12:14, 1 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I disagree, Congress President Mallikarjun Kharge has presented Rahul Gandhi's name as his personal preference rather than as a declaration of the position of the INDIA alliance neither explicitly nor tacitly. So I suggest we should wait for some time.

Merge Proposal[edit]

Suggest merging Results of the 2024 Indian general election into the current 2024 Indian general election page per WP:DUP and WP:Overlap. The general elections overall page already has a robust section on results, broken out by the same categories as the results specific page (alliance, state, constituency), and so am not sure what the new page is adding. Plus there are bound to be referencing issues with that page (currently no references listed) and I anticipate the % change calculations will be difficult to support through WP:RS, so we'd be treading on WP:OR. Schwinnspeed (talk) 20:22, 4 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Against; The Election Commission releases documents that accurate describe the %votes polled a few days after the initial results, they were used in Results of the 2019 Indian general election thereby following WP:OR. The same pages have been made for 2014 and 2019 with a more concise section the main article for results, this ongoing policy should be followed here too. Xoocit (talk) 21:29, 4 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Against ; There is already an article for the 2009, 2014 and 2019 one, why merge this one? 52Timer (talk) 01:44, 5 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Incorrect messaging[edit]

"This was the largest-ever election in history, surpassing the previous election, and lasted 44 days, second only to the 1951–52 Indian general election. Incumbent prime minister Narendra Modi, who completed a second term, ran for a third consecutive term. The election was criticised for lack of action on hate speeches by Modi's Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP), reported Electronic Voting Machine (EVM) malfunctioning, and alleged suppression of political opponents of the BJP."

There was neither any HATE speech by PM Modi nor by BJP. This inference seems to be biased. HATE was all over the place by Rahul Gandhi including calling PM names and inciting violence between communities and castes.

Also, functioning of Enforcement agencies should not be construed as suppression of political opponents. Language should be the same when it is used to comment on US elections and suppression of Freedom of Speech in the US for example. This report is very biased against the largest functioning democracy in the world.

Wrong photo of the leader[edit]

Malikarjun Kharge didn’t even contest in this election and he said Rahul Gandhi is his choice for PM prior to the election. So it should’ve the photo of Modi vs Gandhi. This is misleading because Rahul Gandhi lead the campaign. The party President isn’t necessarily the leader since BJP’s President isn’t Modi either.

Time to add a map?[edit]

Considering the ECI has declared every seat and results are being updated on the page, I thought now might be an appropriate time to add a map for the results. I made one here, but it doesn't necessarily need to be this: https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Indian_General_Election_2024.svg . Not sure if it's too soon, but just putting it out there just in case. ExactlyIndeed (talk) 14:32, 5 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@ExactlyIndeed I agree. Can I recommend making state boundaries clearer? See File:Indian General Election 2019.svg for example Soni (talk) 14:38, 5 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]
@Soni Just updated them to the same thickness as on the 2019 map. The file I linked earlier should now reflect the changes. ExactlyIndeed (talk) 15:21, 5 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Added. Pretty decent map, thank you. I recommend adding lines with the arrows to each of the zoomed in cities, it's pretty hard to read without them. I can't think of other QoL changes that could be made comparing the 2019 map, but I reckon there's still more we can eventually iterate on. Soni (talk) 15:45, 5 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]
@Soni I can definitely try do that, but it might be hard because of the distance between the insets and their respective sections on the full map. I could re-arrange the insets to make that work, though. The other idea I had was to add boxes around the zoomed-in areas on the full map, and only include constituency numbers for those areas in the insets, if that makes sense. ExactlyIndeed (talk) 16:15, 5 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]
We can iterate over the options and see which one is easiest to understand. There's a lot of maps like this, but none of them have perfected it.
I honestly think any party which won less than 5 seats at the Lok Sabha should be bundled under "NDA (Other)", "INDIA (Other)" or "Other (Other)". There is just too many parties with similar enough symbols that this map is fairly unreadable with the colours as they are. Maybe any national parties plus those with at least 5 seats. Otherwise the maps will keep being pretty unreadable. Keeping it to parties with 5+ seats would give us useful info but limit it to the most pertinent. Soni (talk) 16:40, 5 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Results discrepancy[edit]

The current results table shows the total number of seats won by the INDIA coalition to be 234 while, for example, NDTV lists it as 232. Can someone figure out the source for this discrepancy? And also cite sources for this and other results in the wikipedia article so that they comply with WP:V. Abecedare (talk) 15:19, 5 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

NDA Tally[edit]

Hello, 7 Independent candidates have been elected in this election. These include rasheed sheikh, amritpal singh, pappu yadav, vishal prakashbhau patil, sarabjeet singh khalsa and mohmad haneefa. They have not given support to NDA. That they have supported NDA is misinformation and media too is just saying this from speculation. Supercanonx (talk) 16:31, 5 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]
