Reverting of rumor based allegations

[edit]

Am raising issue on recent addition of this page which adds "He accused Sonia Gandhi and Rahul Gandhi to have conspired against him." The problem is the source itself mentions "No, I don't accuse anyone. I am just saying what I heard", at this level of conflicting coverage including it on page seems extra.

Or to put it in another way, can we use same source and would be comfortable adding a edit on page of say Sh Rahul Gandhi citing : They are alleged for so and so? Nisingh.8 (talk) 09:16, 2 May 2026 (UTC)[reply]

We can insert, later Asaram added "No, I don't accuse anyone. I am just saying what I heard". Zalaraz (talk) 12:53, 2 May 2026 (UTC)[reply]
Yes, that would at least make it better reflection of source. But then again why add such lengthy if-else statement on presumed allegation on page.. Nisingh.8 (talk) 14:33, 2 May 2026 (UTC)[reply]
For example, similar additions have been shot down on other notable person pages like Talk:Rahul Gandhi/Archive 1#Not a neutral articles citing Wikipedia is not a news website
or similarly on Talk:Rahul Gandhi/Archive 1#Edit request from Ankush.sak, 9 June 2011 edit was not made citing sources did not unequivocally back up the statement Nisingh.8 (talk) 14:41, 2 May 2026 (UTC)[reply]
It is necessary to cite Asaram's own defense on his own page with regards to a serious charge. If you see such type of details missing for Rahul Gandhi then you can work on that article. Zalaraz (talk) 02:37, 3 May 2026 (UTC)[reply]
