The India Today article describing Nayak as a suspect dates to October 18. The article describing arrests is from October 16 and does not mention Nayak at all. The point here being that no one is accusing Nayak of murder, but people are accusing him of masterminding it. The October 16 article is irrelevant and tells the reader nothing about Nayak. Its a poor anachronistic attempt at minimizing the allegations levelled against him. If someone criticizes the link to Nayak, then it belongs in said section, not an article that does not even mention Nayak.Pectoretalk00:48, 21 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]
The police link, unjustifiably removed by Soman, noted that an actual governmental investigation was launched against Nayak. This is very notable to the subject, as it obviously could mean jail time under Indian law for "communal unrest" at the least. This sort of whitewashing is the worst kind of censorship.Pectoretalk00:59, 29 December 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Belief and complicity
I think that some people need to read WP:BLP again. This article is still showing unfounded allegations from 2008 concerning the death of Swami Laksmanananda Saraswati and is still making wild claims about his religious beliefs. For example,. this source is useless without some sort of update - it is five years since, ffs! - and so too is this one which is also used to verify his involvement with the YMCA even though it doesn't seem to mention the YMCA.
From an old version of his Rajya Sabha profile, it is clear that Nayak has been involved with a lot of organisations and has, for example, been awarded prizes by Buddhist groups. WP:BLPCAT is explicit that he has to self-identify his religious belief if we are to include it in the article, and politically-motivated claims of such seriousness as complicity in murder really do need to be followed through or dropped. I suppose that there might be an argument for retention of such claims if we can sort out the wording but right now it is hopelessly damaging and unfair on him. Pectore also needs to re-read WP:VANDALISM and retract the attack made in this edit summary. - Sitush (talk) 05:06, 20 August 2013 (UTC)[reply]
