Employee strength in Infopark.

Mr Dileepks, The employee strength figures in Infopark is quite unbelievable. In a report dated 21st may 2009 it is clearly mentioned that the strength is around 8000 (http://www.thehindubusinessline.in/2009/05/21/stories/2009052150781700.htm). There is no proof that employee strength almost doubled to 15000 in hardly one and half years. I believe the latest report is just a figment of imagination from the reporter. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 202.88.239.184 (talk) 09:36, 31 March 2011 (UTC)

Dear IP Editor. There are very many things editors believe, but for Wikipedia, it is the credibility/acceptibility of sources that matters. The Hindu is a reputed news paper, and the figure comes from its reporter. It is clearly reported as a fact, not as an opinion, either of the reporter or a reported party. Such news are routinely accepted as valid reference for articles. I can show you many examples of such use. I can also show you arguments by a number of editors supporting the use of Hindu reports as reference.

It is a valid reference, as long as another reference contradicts it. Do you have any source that contradicts this number?

Dileepks, Thanks for the clarification. I believe I can get the numbers soon. Till then let it stay. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 125.17.228.74 (talk) 11:36, 31 March 2011 (UTC)

Dileep, the master of Koch hype, the information in the article is referenced which states the employee strength is 8000. Also there is another report here here, which also states that the employee strenght is 8000. Unlike the Hindu report you provided which is by some editor Praveen, these reports says that the CM quoted the figures. If you want to remove, provide valid reference from Infopark official site. Yours Lovingly :-) --Samaleks (talk) 15:57, 31 March 2011 (UTC)

Samaleks, your criteria on references is intriguing. It seems to be skewed depending upon which location it refers to.

Just moments ago, on Technopark page, you support something that isn't even alluded in the references, and is clearly false by other reliable sources. Here, you discount a clear statement by a news reporter. Very very intriguing. Also, too many days hadn't passed since your similar dual standards in the TRV and COK pages. You are doing great service to your city sir.

Your newsclip is from 2009. The reference given in the article is from 2011. Newer information take precedence on older ones.

Anyway, IP Editor 125.17.228.74 promised to get new reference. Based on WP:BRD, I am reinstating the info that is blindly reverted by an IP Editor.

I've the RTI document with me. It says the employee strength is only 4954 for Infopark SEZ. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 125.17.228.74 (talk) 13:13, 1 April 2011 (UTC)

User: 125.17.228.74 - Can you please share the RTI document? Thanks - MountainWhiskey - talk 04:12, 5 April 2011 (UTC)

Infopark has both SEZ and non-sez units. Need to see the RTI document, and the date of it, before it could be accepted.

A valid and convincing reference is added and edited..http://www.keralait.org/about_project.php?project_id=1&location_id=1

It seems the figure of Infopark SEZ,4954 is correct and the total with 9500 including non-SEZ.

Hope this will clear the things.

That information is outdated. Note that it mentions Athulya as under construction. The building was inaugurated in June 2010, so this information should be at least an year old. The news article that is referred for the original text is from Feb 2011.

DileepKS(talk) 07:48, 5 April 2011 (UTC)

From where the newspaper got this info??Did they made any head count there?

You mean other than SEZ, it is 10046 to make 15000???

Thanks --59.98.80.60 (talk) 08:16, 5 April 2011 (UTC)

Dileep, You are not here to do any research, but to just put what is available in the references. Keralait ref is more valid than Hindu report. Moreover, the Keralait website says the employee strength is 9500. The details about Athulya is in another section. It is also possible that they havent updated the Athulya section; right? So, I can also draw conclusions like you; which may not be always correct; right?. As of 2011 Jan, the employee strength in Infopark is 4954 and CSEZ(IT/ITES Only) is 4338. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 192.193.160.9 (talk) 08:20, 5 April 2011 (UTC)
