IMDB user rating
[edit]This is sort of an interesting one. IMDB ratings are user-generated ratings, which WP:USERGENERATED says not to include. This is especially true when it's pretty trivial to game those ratings. There's a mention in this article because DNA India noted that this was the highest rated show on IMDB, and posted a couple of images to "prove" their point. Couple of issues, first, the current rating it has is slightly lower than when the article was published, 9.5 vs 9.6. On the show's main IMDB page, it says (as of today) that's it's currently 17th place. Click on it, and you'll see one show at 9.5, and then it drops and when you get to Scam 1992, it's at 9.1. What gives? IMDB doesn't use that straight number when it does it's rankings. There's a note at the bottom of the ranking - "The list is ranked by a formula which includes the number of ratings each show received from users, and value of ratings received from regular users". DNA India managed to miss that little bit, and in their article, the second image is the Top Rated TV Shows chart, which even in their article doesn't have Scam 1992 at the top. Or the top 9. In other words, our "reliable source" isn't comparing apples to apples. For now, I've moved the mention out of the lead as WP:UNDUE from the user generated aspect plus the obvious issue with how DNA India came up with their result. Barring further discussion, in about a week I'm going to remove it as user-generated and the source clearly misunderstanding how the IDMB rankings work.

I agree IMDB ratings shouldn’t be included as these ratings are easily rigged and keeps changing in real time. defcon5 (talk) 03:05, 25 November 2020 (UTC)
Episode Description
[edit]A long description of the first episode has been added from an IP address. But the other episodes have been left blank. Should it be removed or should it stay? defcon5 (talk) 16:33, 28 November 2020 (UTC)
Soundtrack
[edit]please add section regarding the theme song and soundtrack. I had added the section but it got removed. The theme song went no.1 in India iTunes charts and it should be included as they are the only charts which IMI Considers.. Please provide source for chart positions.

TV series or web series?
[edit]Is it okay that the description and article reads 'television series'?
