I'm be trying to work this article for a possible GA nomination (depending on how much I do), and will be making some changes to the existing revision. For starters, would anyone be opposed to a transition to parenthetical references? The first issue that I observe here is that both parenthetical and ref tags are present, warranting a change to a consistent citation style for this article.

@ Sitush: You can’t revert me with the reason of the picture ‘having consensus’.
Anyway, there was a discussion in 2013 in which there was clear consensus that the image would be replaced. I think, you were invoked in the discussion and had agreed that you had ‘little interest for images’. About a year later around the November of 2014, the image was added again by an editor. This was against that very clear consensus, but you did not revert the editor. It’s been there to this day, which I guess means that this is the consensus you’re talking about. However, that’s not the main point here. The lead image shows a half naked adolescent girl. Removing the picture is not about preference, its about the fact that it’s a very poor choice to include in the article, especially the lead. The following policy and guideline agree.

There seem to be references to "Nair" as castes, as an ethnic group, as a surname, and as a dialect. Is this article supposed to be a broad-concept article about this? In either case, there also seems to be a persistent ambiguity with meanings at Nair (disambiguation), most of which seems to be about a consumer product in the US. I've disambiguated links from the template namespace to be able to analyze Special:WhatLinksHere/Nair better. -- Joy ( talk) 08:52, 25 March 2024 (UTC)
