Request :- King Kohli, Run Machine, Chase Master, Chiku ...these were included in his nickname section before but got removed... Plz put them back again🙏🙏.. Proof:- Nicknames Of Indian Cricketers https://www.india.com/webstories/sports/nicknames-of-indian-cricketers-virat-kohli-ms-dhoni-sachin-tendulkar-rohit-sharma-indian-cricket-team-wtc-final-ind-vs-aus-6086062/

PLEASE CHECK IT OUT 45.118.75.83 (talk) 18:19, 12 March 2024 (UTC)

 Partly done: It looks like King Kohli was originally there, then all the nicknames got removed for being "unencyclopedic" (https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Virat_Kohli&diff=prev&oldid=1183746033), then gradually re-added, and then @Vkwiki100 removed all of them except Chiku, with an explainer for that one. (https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Virat_Kohli&diff=prev&oldid=1199250364) Probably a better source for the nicknames is https://www.india.com/sports/de-villiers-has-a-new-nickname-for-virat-kohli-3636679/, the original source before it all got deleted and re-added again, which is a full-on news story. From the article it seems like "run machine" might just be something people call him to say he's good at batting. I'll add King Kohli, but given people keep deleting and re-adding and deleting these, and it's unclear why @Vwiki100 removed them, I'll not do the other ones unless somebody else knows better. Mrfoogles (talk) 00:29, 13 March 2024 (UTC)

Actually, check that, just read the Wikipedia:Biographies_of_living_persons#Reliable_sources warning.

 Not done for now: There doesn't seem to be consensus on whether these other nicknames should be added (given they keep being added and deleted) and a side mention from an india.com article about a tweet isn't the most reliable, and even it says they're mostly used when talking about his batting skills. Mrfoogles (talk) 00:39, 13 March 2024 (UTC)

If there was an article specifically about the nickname, or if we knew why the other nicknames got removed originally, that would probably work. Mrfoogles (talk) 00:40, 13 March 2024 (UTC)

I removed other nicknames because there was no source in the whole article talking about the nicknames. Only "Cheeku" had a source. Mention of "Chase Master" and "King Kohli" in a title of a news piece is not enough for them to be kept in the nickname section. Though I think "King Kohli" is quite popular, so if one finds a source talking about it, then it can be added. There have been discussions on the WP:CRIC talk page about whether to keep the nicknames at all in the infobox. In my opinion, they're just useless, and fans just keep adding and removing them.

General comments

• This article first passed GA in 2015; it was reassessed five years later. Since then, it has failed a nomination in September 2021 because of concerns primarily about stability, but also prose quality. ~~ AirshipJungleman29 (talk) 12:32, 22 March 2024 (UTC)
• On first look, the article seems rather heavily biased towards promoting Kohli; even allowing for the fact that he is an all-time great cricketer, the tone of this article verges upon hagiography, not WP:IMPARTIALity. To give some examples:
  • "he exuded remarkable talent, making it arduous for the coach to curb his enthusiasm"
  • "Sharma had to physically coerce him to leave the training sessions, as he was reluctant to depart"
  • "Kohli's ardent passion for cricket compelled him to travel long distances with his father to ensure that he never missed a match. With time, he diligently honed his skills and diversified his range of shots, commanding respect from the local bowlers"
  • "Kohli appeared to become more mature overnight"
  • "appeared to channel his entire existence into the pursuit of cricket following his father's untimely demise"
• All of these, from the very first section, are trivial, unencyclopedic details more suitable for a puff piece than a neutral encyclopedia article. They also contribute to the second major problem:
• Length. At over 17718 words, not including quotes, captions, tables, lists, or citations, it is far beyond the recommendations at WP:TOOBIG. I feel confident in stating that much of this excess length comes from the verbose, unbiased tone noted above.
• Per these issues, I am quickfailing this nomination as a long way away from GA criteria 3b) (excluding excess details) and 4) (neutrality). I would recommend that at least 4,000 words of non-neutral promotion be cut from this article before it is renominated. ~~ AirshipJungleman29 (talk) 12:32, 22 March 2024 (UTC)

Virat Kohli's Medal Record

This is to regard some changes which are to be made in the section which mentions the achievements of the stellar cricket player Virat Kohli. Some notable achievements are missing from the given Medal Record in the article. They are:-

ACC Asia Cup

Winner - 2010 Sri Lanka , Winner - 2016 Bangladesh , Winner - 2023 Pakistan and Sri Lanka

ICC Champions Trophy

Winner - 2013 England and Wales , Runner-up - 2017 England and Wales

ICC Under-19 Men's Cricket World Cup

Winner - 2008 Malaysia

These are the notable edits that are to be made for making the Medal Record correct. If done, the feeling of gratefulness would occupy my mind

Thanks and Regards,

Hello Pharaoh496,

What you said is correct, but it was added after I put forward my request Adhiraj Choudhari (talk) 08:50, 30 March 2024 (UTC)

It was there since long, and got removed. I have re-added it. Pharaoh496 (talk) 08:55, 30 March 2024 (UTC)

Bold Split: Career of Virat Kohli

I have split away the entire franchise, domestic and international career of Kohli into a new article mentioned above. Reason: Too long with no attempts to shorten and info being added by the hour.

I have seen this work when Lionel Messi was split to form Career of Lionel Messi; to shorten the article and make a fresh page of the career. This will ensure retention of information and 2 worthwile articles remaining be formed.

The new article also needs work: The lead, removal of bias; it has the problems which it had when it was here.

I have added this to the sidebar as well.
