I'll review this soon JAGUAR  20:28, 9 November 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Initial comments[edit]

  • The lead appears cluttered and should require a minimum of three paragraphs per WP:LEADLENGTH. The first paragraph is too short and choppy whereas the latter half could be merged in each other
  • Per WP:LEADCITE, citations are discouraged from the lead if not citing controversial information
  • There are citation needed tags in the Political career section
  • Achievements at the national level unsourced
  • Personal life section could do with some copyediting and more citations. There's a tag in here too
  • Death section could be merged

Close - not listed[edit]

I'm sorry to do this, but I'm forced to quickfail this due to several factors. There are numerous citation needed tags in the article (a quickfail criteria itself), choppy paragraphs and sentences and some organisational issues which means it doesn't meet the GA criteria at this time. The IP who nominated this is also inactive, so I'll be happy to review this again if it gets picked up. JAGUAR  13:21, 10 November 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Merge proposal[edit]

I propose merge of Chief_Ministership_of_N._T._Rama_Rao in to this article.--Vin09 (talk) 07:29, 17 December 2015 (UTC)[reply]

The Merge proposal has been made quite a few times in the past always finally rejected. In fact, the creation of this article happened because the original article on NTR was too long, not stable and was triggering editing wars. Given the long and meaning full career as both an actor/writer/producer/ and as a national politician. His political life being a separate article was proposed and overwhelmingly accepted. Multiple merge tags were rejected in the past. The material in this article is non-controversial,stable, factual and highly viewed (about 1000 a month). I strongly support leaving this article as is without a merge. Wiki is better if this is a separate article.

Honorific in the infobox[edit]

We don't usually add honorifics like Padmashri or Padmabhushan in the infobox. Do we need it here as many others who achieved it don't have it mentioned in their infoboxes? Thanks Sharkslayer87 (talk) 13:31, 22 February 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Consensus for "Greatest Indian Actor of All Time" CNN-IBN poll[edit]

He was voted "Greatest Indian Actor of All Time" in a CNN-IBN national poll conducted in 2013 on the occasion of the Centenary of Indian Cinema.[1][2][3][4]

From the cited News18 article, [...] survey conducted in celebration of 100 years of Indian cinema. NTR garnered 53 percent of total votes [...] The poll does not share any statistics, but just the percent. This is a readers' poll, and thus by definition is a populist survey. I don't think it carries any merit and thus not encyclopaedic. The four citations are simply WP:CITEKILL and were just used for this statement. I propose to remove it.

  • Remove TrangaBellam (talk) 08:34, 2 July 2021 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep per WP:ATTRIBUTEPOV but move to Legacy section. CNN-IBN is a national news channel, so its worth mentioning somewhere in the article. It may be mentioned that it is populist survey along with the vote percentage. -- Ab207 (talk) 06:19, 12 July 2021 (UTC)[reply]
    In this case, I'd say one citation is more than enough, as it's not souring "one of the prominent actors in..." kind of statements. -- DaxServer (talk) 09:19, 12 July 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Yes and the other statements must be independently sourced. -- Ab207 (talk) 13:30, 12 July 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Career[edit]

This page talks very little about his cinema journey. Please add that. Also add his critical acclaim in periodic characters. Geminicoyote (talk) 14:29, 1 August 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Infobox image[edit]

@DaxServer @Materialscientist Hello, I hope you both are doing good. What are your thoughts and comments about placing the stamp version: File:NT Rama Rao 2000 stamp of India.jpg in the infobox instead of the cropped version similar to Tanguturi Prakasam Panthulu, Y. S. Rajasekhara Reddy and C. N. Annadurai at-least for this biographical article since it related to the subject here. Whereas the cropped version can be used on other election articles. 456legend(talk) 06:08, 25 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]

I suppose this will enhance the quality of the article and consistency with other historical figures in similar lines (Chief ministers) 456legend(talk) 06:10, 25 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]
If and only the stamp being a horizontal is the question then see Biju Patnaik, the stamp is in horizontal format.456legend(talk) 06:12, 25 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Reply to ip user 136.54.56.86[edit]

Hi ip editor 136.54.56.86, I have only reverted your recent edit considering the fact that it was a recent standalone addition without a source or citation for the same. I haven't or was concerned with the rest of the content on the article since I was not involved in the proof reading of the article but only here after the recent edit/addition came to my notice. Please note these points and do not make personal allegations or comments on me without assessing the background or the reason for the removal. Although I now understand the reason for your addition and not going to revert it now again, I just wanted to you to know that I am not affiliated to any organisation or person here on Wikipedia. Kindly stay civilized here on Wikipedia. Happy editing. 456legendtalk 20:46, 19 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]

No worries. There has been tensions between N. T. Rama Rao's son Balakrishna and N. T. Rama Rao's son grandson N. T. Rama Rao Jr. ever since the latter was born. The problem arose when the latter was born illegitimately, and you know how illegitimate children are a taboo. Very recently in fact yesterday on N. T. Rama Rao's death anniversary, Balakrishna ordered removal of Jr. NTR's posters in that event. I assumed you werea Balakrishna fanboy. 136.54.56.86 (talk) 21:54, 19 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Thank you for the clarification. 456legendtalk 22:30, 19 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]
