The article is poorly written.His writings has been not even considered by major newspapers for criticism and the few critics who chose to write have rated it poorly.This has not been mentioned in the summary.Also a large section is written as individual opinions which are not sourced and hence should be removed. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Arun george85 (talk • contribs) 20:57, 14 October 2009 (UTC) Hi, I've re-written most of the article because neutral every sentence was poorly constructed, and failed to adhere to Wikipedia's NPOV standards. Please provide citations where required. Sigbhu (talk • contribs)

Encyclopedic style and content

Some portions of the article use an excessively eulogizing tone, and several portions of the article seem to be copied from other sites. A thorough review to correct these faults is required. Apoorv020 (talk) 18:09, 19 March 2011 (UTC)

NPOV tag should be removed

Its been more than one year since it was tagged for NPOV. Since than there has been significant contribution on this page to meet wiki standards.I think there's no need of this tag.Requesting all other editors to access it and decide for Neutrality. So that tag can be removed.--Sandy (talk) 21:14, 10 February 2012 (UTC)

I also feel so and removed the tag! In addition, I feel the refimprove tag can be removed too adding few inline cn tags! --Tito Dutta (contact)

Bhagat's article in The Guardian?

I couldn't find any article in The Guardian published or written by Mr. Bhagat. On the contrary, I found articles criticizing his writing style 12. I'm removing that statement from the article. -- Obloid cow (talk) 03:06, 23 February 2013 (UTC)

Should this be changed?

Hi! The head of the page says, "In 2008, The New York Times cited Bhagat as "the biggest selling English language novelist in India’s history". However, as per the reference, "But he has also become the biggest-selling English-language novelist in India’s history, according to his publisher, Rupa & Company, one of India’s oldest and best established publishers." So, it is according to his publisher and not New York Times. Should it be rewritten? Edwige9 (talk) 13:10, 29 December 2015 (UTC)

Chetan Bhagat contested the claims - https://www.telegraphindia.com/1170426/jsp/frontpage/story_148369.jsp (2402:3A80:E29:FCC:9C66:AEC9:5200:371 (talk) 07:59, 4 July 2018 (UTC)) shouldn't that be given in the article too. Otherwise, it will be a one sided allegation (2402:3A80:E29:FCC:9C66:AEC9:5200:371 (talk) 07:59, 4 July 2018 (UTC))

Please verify Ketan Bhagat

Partially copied from this page.Xx236 (talk) 11:39, 4 May 2017 (UTC)

this page is not existing, then how can we verify it (111.92.29.198 (talk) 16:28, 27 June 2018 (UTC))

don't you all think we should start a page of Ketan Bhagat and then add content to it ? (112.133.236.197 (talk) 08:19, 24 July 2018 (UTC))
