No items may be on this list without verification. Many of the "scandals" I removed were directly or indirectly about living people, and thus implies negative things about people, but they had no reliable sources verifying this is a scandal. WP:V states that all information on Wikipedia must be sourced; while it is possible for information to wait in articles to be sourced, anything highly contentious like this needs a clear, definitive source. I'm worried that some of the things that were on the list unsourced weren't actually called "scandals"; this is a highly POV word, so we need good, clear sources.

I just removed JMM Bribery Scandal. While it's okay for us to have things on this list where final guilt has not been determined, we should not list alleged scandals when the person was definitely found innocent in a court of law. Qwyrxian ( talk) 04:23, 3 June 2011 (UTC)
After going through the entire list at List of Indian political scandals, everything relevant except for the [[Satyam scandal] (which I added here) was already here. There were a number of other articles linked on that other list, but many of them actually should not have been listed (in my opinion). First, anything that was not referenced or without its own page was ignored, per WP:V. Second, a large number of links on that other list don't really qualify as scandals. Any so-called scandal, in which the person was found not guilty in a court of law, is, by definition, no longer a scandal, and keeping it in an article like this unnecessarily smears a person (in some cases, a living person who falls under the protections of WP:BLP), so I didn't move it over. Several other entries weren't actually scandals. Below are the linked items that I did not copy over with explanations:
One that I didn't copy over is questionable-- Oil-for-food programme. The reason I didn't copy it over is that the actual scandal is an international one. However, one of the principals was an Indian leader who was forced to resign as a result. So, I'm not sure it really belongs here; however, if others think it belongs, it's fine by me.
Since the article List of scandals in India by state now redirects here, based on earlier discussion, does anyone think that the name of this article should change to the simpler "List of scandals in India" (which currently is also a redirect pointing here)? When there were two articles with different organizational schemes, the current name made sense, but now that there's just the one, I don't see the need for the extra words.

This is regarding the 2006 Kerala Ice Cream Parlour sex scandal, mentioned under this article. Since this page is about financial scams of national importance, the page mentioned does not deserve to be here. It might set a precedent in which page stubs related to public outrage over morality will make it to this list. Hence, a removal is requested after discussion. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 123.237.72.230 ( talk) 19:17, 2 August 2012 (UTC)
I just created a table which sorts scandals in different ways - by name, year, location, players, and with a summary. Right now it only includes scandals which have their own Wikipedia articles. I think that a tool this would be a great start in sorting the large amount of information on this page into something more understandable. Right now, the entries are only sorted by year, but I think also that sorting by location and persons involved would be useful. There is currently a discussion happening at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/List of politicians in India charged with corruption to delete the list which ties people to accusations, and I think that list should be deleted because it is not fair to tie individuals to to criminal charges when they are presumed innocent. However, I think that it is fair to say that particular people are key players in certain scandals. For example, Kapil Sibal, Mulayam Singh Yadav, Mayawati all investigated corruption in the Uttar Pradesh food grain scam. Their investigations are a critical part of that article and that event is a critical part of their biographies.
I propose that when a scandal has its own article and it names some people, and when that same scandal has a mention in a person's biography, then the scandal and those people go on this list. Most of the references for this list should be in either the biography or the scandal article, but an overview reference could be in the summary of the table.
How do other people feel about this table, and especially how does everyone feel about naming individuals, organizations, or government offices and associating them with a scam whether they may be accused, accusing, investigating, or whatever other kind of involvement?

The "Sheesh Mahal scam," associated with the renovation/reconstruction of CM Arvind Kejriwal's house, involves irregularities. — Sanskari Hangout 12:48, 12 December 2023 (UTC)
This list is a bulleted list and not a descriptive list. Some scandals are mentioned with description while others are not. I think that there should be uniformity in the list and the descriptions should be removed as all of them have their separate wikipedia pages.
The format could be such
