Calling for discussion upon this from fellow WikiProject Indian politics members, the election commission website links the most recent affidavit also does not mention Harvard University anywhere.
The citation also does not state that he completed his degree at Harvard, he was most probably relocated at Rollins College after his first year at Harvard according to credible sources. I will watch this space for any other opinions and change it after a week or two. Xoocit (talk) 18:36, 22 May 2024 (UTC)
Looking further into the subject, there are no credible sources that state he pursued a master's in economics in the first place. Not sure how this was introduced into the first place in this article. Xoocit (talk) 18:40, 22 May 2024 (UTC)
The most recent image provides the most accurate representation of Rahul Gandhi's current appearance. People change over time, and using an outdated image might not reflect his current age, style, or demeanor accurately.
A recent image ensures relevance to the current period and context. If the purpose of the Misplaced Pages page is to provide up-to-date information about Rahul Gandhi, using a recent image aligns with that goal.
Users are more likely to engage with content that feels current and reflects the present reality. A recent image can capture attention and interest more effectively than an older one.
Using a recent image demonstrates transparency and commitment to keeping information current. It shows that the Misplaced Pages page is actively maintained and reflects the latest developments.
While historical context can be important, especially for figures with long careers or significant past events, the primary goal of an infobox is to provide accurate and relevant information about the subject as they are now. Therefore, using a 2024 image would be the most suitable choice for Rahul Gandhi's infobox on Misplaced Pages.
A portrait-style image with a white background often conveys professionalism. It provides a clean and uncluttered backdrop, allowing the focus to remain on the subject, in this case, Rahul Gandhi. Images with a white background are versatile and can be easily incorporated into various designs or layouts without clashing with other elements. Using a white background can help maintain consistency across Misplaced Pages pages. Many infobox images on Misplaced Pages use a similar format, making the layout cohesive and visually appealing.
In general I agree that the more recent image is preferable, given that he is still working as a politician. But there appear to be issues with File:Rahul Gandhi.png. I suspect that it is an edited PTI photograph taken in 2022. The photograph in this December 2022 India TV News story looks as though it was taken on the same day. Misplaced Pages:Manual of Style/Images#Editing images says that blurring the background is permitted - so blanking the background is probably also OK (though blurring would have been preferable). But it says all changes to images taken from outside sources should be noted on the image's description page. For images created by editors themselves, changes which could have been part of the image's original composition—such as rotation or minor cropping—need not be mentioned on the description page.c:File:Rahul Gandhi.png says that it is the uploader's own work. See c:User talk:Josve05a#Rahul Gandhi.png, which discusses issues with this photograph. So it is remains to be seen whether the image will remain on Commons.-- Toddy1(talk)11:33, 20 May 2024 (UTC)
I understand the logic behind recent images, but this rule of recent images does not apply throughout wikipedia, look at the page: Sonia Gandhi. However, the low quality image and editing with the background to white is what is putting the page off. If there is any new image which qualifies to what @Zendrago X is saying then it may be added. Ah507 (talk) 10:09, 23 May 2024 (UTC)
Same logic should apply to Rahul Gandhi as well since he was only the party leader of the Indian National Congress from 2017 to 2019. If the basis for using the current image of Rahul Gandhi is on him being a Member of Parliament, in that case, Sonia Gandhi is too an incumbent Member of Parliament.
Rahul Gandhi is currently active in politics and he is one of the leader of INC. Sonia Gandhi is not active in politics now. ZenDragoX(User) | (Contact)11:33, 1 June 2024 (UTC)
Sonia Gandhi is indeed active in politics and is a current Member of Parliament in the Rajya Sabha and was previously Member of Parliament in the Lok Sabha. If not, then clarify by what you mean by "active in politics".
Rahul Gandhi holds no incumbent leadership position in the INC itself, although he is the chairman of the NSUI and IYC. Ah507 (talk) 07:06, 8 June 2024 (UTC)
There are many good pictures of him on his YT channel, but problem is that the video has license of Creative Commons Attribution licence (reuse allowed), but in description there is mentioned that "The IP of this video belongs to Rahul Gandhi. Unauthorised usage is prohibited and will be prosecuted". And many news channel and YT channels use those videos, but that line is little confusing. So I need advice that can I upload picture from there as there is CC license mentioned there or it is not allowed to upload. That is really confusing. ZenDragoX(User) | (Contact)14:56, 14 June 2024 (UTC)
There can be many statements of politicians saying things in the Lok Sabha. No requirement to mention all of them on the Misplaced Pages page. Ah507 (talk) 07:37, 4 July 2024 (UTC)
I have diligently gathered information from the referenced links in the edit request. The Lok Sabha serves as the supreme platform in the nation. It is crucial to refrain from causing harm to anyone's religious sentiments on this platform. Rahul Gandhi holds the position of the opposition leader. As the leader of the opposition, he is expected to avoid making derogatory remarks about any community while discussing any issue. It is inappropriate to defame an entire community solely to express frustration over a specific matter. I recognize the significance of complying with Misplaced Pages's guidelines, and the information I am presenting adheres to these rules. ASHOKATTRISHARMA (talk) 02:53, 8 July 2024 (UTC)
Where is it written that he has insulted any religion? This is a false claim and Misplaced Pages is not a place for any propaganda or misinformation. Please read this WP:BATTLEGROUND, Misplaced Pages:Propaganda and WP:INDISCRIMINATE. The sources you have given are just claims of the ruling party which have nothing to do with his speech.
