Relocation of Allegations to the Controversy Section

The introduction of the Adani Group article currently includes detailed allegations and controversies, such as stock manipulation, political corruption, environmental issues, and other criticisms. While these topics are significant, I believe they would be more appropriately placed in the "Controversy" section rather than the introduction.

According to Wikipedia’s guidelines on maintaining a Neutral Point of View (WP:NPOV), the lead section should provide a balanced overview of the subject without delving into excessive detail or contentious points. Including such details in the introduction risks giving undue weight to controversies over the company's general achievements and business scope.

By relocating these points to the "Controversy" section, the article could maintain a more neutral tone in its introduction while allowing readers to explore the criticisms in a dedicated, detailed section. This structure aligns with Wikipedia's guidelines for clear, organized content.

I suggest we move the following content:

Allegations of fraud and market manipulation (Hindenburg Research report).

Claims of political corruption, cronyism, and tax evasion.

Environmental damage and actions against journalists.

These could be summarized in the "Controversy" section, which already exists for this purpose.

What are your thoughts on this adjustment? I welcome input and collaboration to ensure the article remains neutral and informative. JESUS (talk) 15:26, 30 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Controversy sections are discouraged, see WP:CSECTION. Even if the body of the article were restructured - the lead section is supposed to summarize the article, and that includes information about controversy, so this would not be a justification to remove mentions of this from the lead section.

Thank you for your input, MrOllie. I understand the guideline you referenced and agree that the lead section should summarize the article in a concise and neutral manner. However, the allegations and controversies in question are significant enough that I believe they warrant more detailed discussion elsewhere in the article. Moving them to a dedicated section could help provide clarity and ensure that the lead remains focused on summarizing the key aspects of the article, without becoming too overwhelmed by contentious issues.
As per [[WP:CSECTION]], I understand that "Controversy" sections are discouraged unless the controversy is particularly substantial and pervasive throughout the article. However, I believe that a structured approach that provides more detailed context in the body of the article (and perhaps a brief mention of these controversies in the lead) would strike a balance between summarizing key facts while giving these significant concerns proper attention.
I’d appreciate your thoughts on whether a balance between summarizing in the lead and expanding in a body section would work here. JESUS (talk) 06:16, 2 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Hi. The lead summarizes the body, so having detailed discussion of a significant point in the body of the article is a reason to have it also summarized in the lead. As you say, the lead summarizes key aspects, and the way you describe it very much sounds like it is one of these key aspects. There isn't an exclusive choice to make between having it in the lead or in the body, as everything summarized in the lead has to be detailed in the body.

Thank you for your input, Chaotic Enby. I understand and agree that the lead is meant to summarize the most significant aspects of the article, as detailed in the body. However, my concern is that the current wording in the lead might give undue weight to the controversies, potentially overshadowing other key aspects of the article. While it is important to mention these issues, perhaps we could explore rephrasing or condensing the summary in the lead to ensure a balanced representation of the subject.
I’d appreciate your thoughts on how we might refine the lead to better reflect the overall content of the article while adhering to [[WP:NPOV]] and [[WP:LEAD]] guidelines.

Splitting the Article and move criticism to "Criticism of Adani Group"

I would like to request that the article Criticism of Adani Group be split into new separate articles. The current article contains a significant amount of detailed criticism, which has led to an unusually large section size. This has made the article difficult to navigate and read efficiently. A split would help improve the article’s structure and readability. 103.241.226.250 (talk) 07:08, 18 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]
