Guild of Copy Editors cleanup[edit]

I am handling the copy edit for this article. As I read through the article, I will make minor changes to it directly. I will list lots of other suggestions here on the "Talk" page. Feel free to comment on any suggestion or to ignore any suggestion.

You can also (slowly and carefully) make changes to the article based upon a suggestion while I am still copy editing (approximately 3-4 days to complete).

Lead section[edit]

Removed this sentence:

Shroff runs a law firm that is considered an authority on matters related to corporate governance, media law, technology law and policy and regulatory practices.<ref name=legalera1>{{cite web|title=Shradul S Shroff |url=http://old1.legalera.in/linklegal/amdas/partners/mr-shardul-s-shroff-2/ |publisher=Legal Era |accessdate=15 February 2013}}</ref><ref name=bloom>{{cite web |title=Shardul Suresh Shroff B.Com (Hons.), LLB |url=http://investing.businessweek.com/research/stocks/people/person.asp?personId=4948391&ticker=IDFC:IN&previousCapId=20931511&previousTitle=INFRASTRUCTURE%20DEV%20FINANCE |publisher=Bloomberg |accessdate=18 February 2013}}</ref>

for two reasons:

Template:Advert
If anywhere, it belongs in the article "Amarchand & Mangaldas & Suresh A Shroff & Co"

According to WP:OPENPARAGRAPH, the lead section of this article is missing the following components:

Date of birth (but see WP:BLPPRIVACY}
Other "notable positions the person held, activities they took part in or roles they played"

In addition, the article should contain Template:Infobox person. --LukasMatt (talk) 01:55, 18 May 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Early life and education[edit]

Removed this citation because the link is dead:

<ref name=legalera2>{{cite web|title=Shradul Shroff|url=http://old1.legalera.in/linklegal/amdas/practice-area/|publisher=Legal Era|accessdate=15 February 2013}}</ref>

"B.Com (Hons.) from Sydenham College, Mumbai and LL.B. from"

Problem with the citation–the title of the source says "Shardul Suresh Shroff B.Com (Hons.), LLB", but the text of the source says "B.Com from Sydenham College Mumbai and a L.L.B. (Hons) degree from". On which degree did he receive "Hons"?

Legal career[edit]

Past[edit]

Each item needs a range of dates.

Each item needs to be reviewed for accuracy. When I google "Ministry of Corporate Affairs Disposal of Corporate Properties, Assets and Shares", for example, I get zero hits. When I search for this phrase in the Bloomberg source, zero hits.

Relatedly, each item needs a citation.

"1996–Dr. Jamshed J. Irani Committee"

This item is dated "1996", but the citation is dated "2005".

"He is an advocate-on-record of the Supreme Court of India."

For a source to provide a citation for this statement, see http://supremecourtofindia.nic.in/outtoday/Advocate-on-Record%20list%20as%20on%2001.04.2014sci.pdf

Missing the Reliability[edit]

Its an interesting article but looks a lot biased and more like calculated fabrication of different structures - Shardul Shroff have lot of relevant information which could be added in the article . The much focused issue between the two brother Shardul and Cyril post the Mother Mrs Bharti Shroff death over the ownership of the firms should also be a mention.

I volunteer to try editting the article to acceptable standards by this weekend. As an Advocate from India I can say without doubt that he's one of the most famous lawyers from this region. DebashisM^Talk 16:45, 4 February 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Notability[edit]

I am not sure if the person mentioned here is really notable to meet WP:NOTABLE. As said by some editors above, it seems like a self-promotion/boosterism page. Trivial details such as memberships of Bar associations is listed as a milestone achievement in Legal Career. I am keen to learn more on this person.
