They shouldn't just be left as external links; this stuff should be in the article. -- Orange Mike 23:31, 15 November 2007 (UTC)
Please note that Ganatra directed three episodes of Transparent, and was a consulting producer. She was not a "Producing Director", and no official citation has been put forth to substantiate that. I am changing the lead back for accuracy. Please do not continue to insert that. Thank you. Softlavender ( talk) 00:39, 17 September 2016 (UTC)
The term accepted in the industry when the director directs scenes from all episodes but is only credited as the director on some episodes is "the Producer Director of the series" it is substantially more significant than what is on this page. By not citing the proper job title or parsing it out as you have - it is misleading and not representative of the amount of work that was done credited and uncredited on the series. By stating Nisha Ganatra directed 3 episodes of the first season, it does not accurately reflect her contributions as director to the ENTIRE series. Please consider this as you keep deleting my efforts to make the description more accurate.

the following is all unsourced. moving here per WP:PRESERVE - should not be restored without refs, especially since exact roles seem to be a matter of contention.

I'm thinking about adding these sources:
References
I want to highlight the success of Ganatra's Chutney Popcorn and Cosmopolitan, as well as talk about her influence in the LGTBQ+ community. Further, I think more modern updates on what Ganatra is up to nowadays would be interesting too, especially since there is no mention (yet) of her getting on board with Late Night.

Adding a career section to make a structure for the page.
Nisha Ganatra's Careers include, actress, film maker, film producer, and screenwriter. Much of Ganatra's work whether she is filming or acting, deals with representing lesbian stories that are dismissed in queer cinema canon.Early in Nisha Ganatra's career, she proceeded to engage in acting classes. Years later, Ganatra shifted towards screenwriting classes at UCLA. Her career began with roles in featured films. Later on, Ganatra took a shift in films and started producing her own. Her first feature film is Chuntney Popcorn (1999). The film is written, and directed by Ganatra, as well as her maintaining the lead role in the film. The film is about a young Indian lesbian (Reena) residing in New York. Her married sister learns that she is infertile and Reena offers to be a surrogate for her sister. Later on, Ganatra proceeded to direct many episodes of MTV's The Real World, the film Cake, plus the films Cosmopolitan. Cite error: The <ref>
tag has too many names (see the

Overall, there is a lot of good information presented here about Nisha Ganatra. Adding a career and early life section really helped to give more structure to the article. For areas to improve I would try to flesh out the information you've provided here. For example in the lead it is mentioned that she worked on Transparent and it received a Golden Globe, but then this information is completely absent from the career section. Additionally, in the career section it briefly mentions that at this time she wrote and directed Chutney Popcorn, but does not go into any further detail about this fact, like how she was also the lead actress. Lastly, I found it interesting that previous edits reference that she is of Indian decent but you removed that detail in your final version of the article? Is there a reason for this? Otherwise, it seems like an attempt to hide her race despite the fact that it has influence much of her work. AliceCullen4354 ( talk) 21:08, 5 November 2018 (UTC)
