Recent taggings

Shrikanthv, the present article was created by user M4DU7 with this edit. And as far as I can see, M4DU7 is neither the subject of this article nor have any COI with him. So this is not an autobiography. I guess the confusion arose because some of the deleted revisions got undeleted recently. - NitinMlk (talk) 20:03, 26 July 2020 (UTC)

Yes, I just want to confirm that I have no COI with Rathee. Looking at the page history, I think that this article needs to be watchlisted by active editors and probably semiprotected. M4DU7 (talk) 22:27, 26 July 2020 (UTC)

Controversies

In this edit I deleted the controversies section, largely in part to how incoherently it was written, but it also lacks sufficient detail for any reader to understand what the controversies were about. The contributor didn't bother addressing the Five Ws when crafting it. Anyway, total lack of context here, and also a lack of any attempt to provide a balanced perspective, so it also fails WP:NPOV.

He is not always critical of central government; the whole page writing is like he is enemy of BJP this should be biased not prejudice

The words like targeting, double quoted debunked, ineffective should be avoided

The titles like uri attack, commando... etc is clean way to portray him as antinational Hindutva politics is another bet to portray him as anti hindu He is not anti central government which the wiki page is portraying him as Whoever wrote this is against Dhruv rathee cant be unbiased 2405:204:96AD:747D:0:0:1AD3:98AD (talk) 10:21, 13 April 2021 (UTC)

Article not neutral

Hey, i have added the template that this article is not neutral, but why? Because a lot of times this youtuber is caught for spreading fake news. For example his video about elections. In the controversy section, the guy who wrote that section is constantly trying to save the youtuber from controversies. Just read that section. When the article will be neutral, then only the template should be removed!Badassboy 63637 (talk) 04:18, 23 June 2021 (UTC)

The POV template refers to Wikipedia articles, not to their subjects' views. I am seeing no obvious bias in the article and have now removed the template. — kashmīrī ^TALK 10:57, 23 June 2021 (UTC)

@Badassboy 63637 @Kashmiri I've added it back, as there seems to be a lot of content added recently, some w/o RS, around the controversies (article, not the subject views). One needs to verify the RS. I couldn't do it at the moment, but you may, or someone else could clean it up! -- DaxServer (talk) 11:28, 26 July 2021 (UTC)

In career section malcious attempt to paint this individual

NOW his videos cover a wider range of topics such as personal finance, environmentalism, geopolitics, history, society, philosophy, video biographies, current affairs and ground reports. His videos NOW contain a significant amount of animated graphics.

(this "NOWs" should be removed from the career section, otherwise the source should be provided which shows the drifting away from one topic to another and new graphics as currently published in career section)

Over the years Rathee has drifted away from his diatribe-like videos solely regarding the incumbent Central Government of India.(incumbent Central government? By which source is this confirmed that he is calling the government incumbent(I respectfully want to warn the editors that there has been malicious attempt on this page to colour this individual(Dhruv Rather) to a particular ideology and against certain party without no source)

He has not surrendered his Indian passport or gained German citizenship. Marrying a German girl does not make him German; he is still Indian. GrabUp - Talk 08:56, 28 May 2024 (UTC)

Add about - "Dhruv Rathee Was Associated With AAP, His Telegram Group Was Banned For Sharing P*rn: Elvish Yadav 'Exposes' Anti-BJP YouTuber" ~ Free Press Journal

In a recent 41-minute video titled "Exposing Dhruv Rathee And His Anti-India Propaganda," YouTuber and Bigg Boss OTT 2 Winner Elvish Yadav accused Dhruv Rathee of being associated with the Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) and producing content for them. Yadav claimed that despite Rathee portraying himself as apolitical, he worked with the AAP IT cell in 2014, creating a song titled "5 saal Kejriwal" and posting pro-party content on AAP's Facebook page. Yadav provided screenshots as evidence and alleged that Rathee deleted videos whitewashing criminal charges against AAP leaders. Additionally, Yadav accused Rathee of promoting cryptocurrency scam apps and trimming videos after their exposure by enforcement agencies.

Delhi riots accused's connection with Dhruv Rathee

Elvish Yadav said that in the year 2020, Dhruv Rathee created a Facebook group. He was the admin of this group. Many people were in this group. An important name in this was Adil Aman. Dhruv and Adil are old friends. Both used to work for the Aam Aadmi Party. Adil comments in a Facebook post that PM Modi and Amit Shah should be assassinated. In another post, he wrote that the Brahmin community is foreign. These are insects. They should be killed. Those who think that Dhruv Rathi and Adil Aman work together are wrong. They also plan movements together. Adil Aman is a friend of Umar Khalid, the main accused in the Delhi riots, and Dhruv Rathi is a friend of Adil. So understand which toolkit is working. From where is this nexus running? Earlier, Elvish Yadav had released some teasers of this video, in which he compared Dhruv Rathi to a 'German Shepherd' dog and vowed to control him. Yadav also claimed in a teaser that he knows some people from his team who have revealed details about his personal and professional life.
