UDScott, there are many wikiquote pages with quotes from the magazine or newspaper.

Also, could you please comment on the quote from an interview with a prominent politician that was deleted here ?

Thank you. --დამოკიდებულება (talk) 13:00, 5 May 2020 (UTC)
 * Most of what you are pointing to are pages that have editorial quotes from the sources (not just news articles that appeared in them). If editorial quotes from this magazine or quotes about it are provided, this is what is needed to preserve this page. Otherwise, quotes from interviews or news articles should be placed on pages for their subject, not here. ~ UDScott (talk) 13:16, 5 May 2020 (UTC)


 * Thank you.
 * Please note that has been deleting such interviews from this magazine which publishes interviews by very eminent people including Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi and Tarek Fatah, and he has been edit-warring over this.
 * See for example here --დამოკიდებულება (talk) 13:23, 5 May 2020 (UTC)
 * I have no problem to restore the content if there is any secondary sources. Akhiljaxxn (talk) 13:37, 5 May 2020 (UTC)
 * Then please self-revert your deletions at the article Nehru now, which were cited to a book.
 * But the interviews are exclusive interviews. There is no reason for an exclusive interview to cite from a different source. And the interviews are with very eminent people. --დამოკიდებულება (talk) 13:44, 5 May 2020 (UTC)
 * If it was cited in a book you should have cited the book itself rather than the Swarajya Magazine. Swarajya magazine is a blacklisted source across all Wikipedia, and if the interview was notable it would have been picked by other sources as well. Akhiljaxxn (talk) 13:56, 5 May 2020 (UTC)


 * It is common practice to also include the source where it was quoted from (because among other reasons, it can help readers find more context or commentary to the quote, and it is simply a sign of fairness to acknowledge in this way the source where the source was found). The interviews are EXCLUSIVE interviews, they are not necessarily copied by others - ever heard about something called copyright?


 * Stop repeating what I have already replied to as if you didn't hear it. It is tedious. This was my latest reply about it: Swarajya is not blacklisted on wikiquote, proof is that you were able to post links to the website. If it was blacklisted, you wouldn't have been able to do that! I already told you that! Swaraya seems to have been censored (temporarily?) either due to political bias or because as your links you posted show it may have published some articles critical of wikipedia. But what is censored on other websites has no bearing on this website. The deletions you made were either cases were the original source was something else and it is was only quoted from there, or where the quote is from an eminent politican like Swamy. Swarajya has made some interviews with very eminent politicians, intellectuals and scientists, and there is no reason not to quote these very eminent people from their own interviews. --დამოკიდებულება (talk) 09:51, 5 May 2020 (UTC)

Interview with Subramanian Swamy: Surajit Dasgupta- Dec 13, 2015

 * This family is totally anti-national as far as India is concerned. (but) I must tell you this much: Rajiv Gandhi and I were very, very close friends, extremely close friends. In Parliament when Indira Gandhi was the Prime Minister, he used to sit next to me along the aisle. After he lost office, he and I used to meet at 2 am everyday for two hours. So I know almost everything about the circumstances in which he got married, and what the relationship between the two (Rajiv and Sonia) was... I thought well of Rajiv. He was a great patriot, thought he would make a great Prime Minister if he came back for the second time around, and I supported him. Openly, on the floor of Parliament, (I said) he didn’t get the Bofors money, (Ottavio) Quattrocchi (Sonia’s close friend) got it, and these were proved quite later, too late.

 * I cannot say I am anti-Nehru-Gandhi family per se, but I certainly was, from Day 1 (anti-Nehru). Even when I was a school student, I took an intuitive dislike for Jawaharlal Nehru. There was no explanation. I just had it! The dislike was continuous as I learnt more and more about him.... Therefore, to say that I have a pathological hatred for the Nehru-Gandhi family is not correct. Yes, I never liked Nehru, but that was pure policy. And, of course, I later on came to know that he gave up the offer of the UN Security Council, and then what he did on Kashmir, and the files I saw when I was one of the senior-most ministers in the Chandrashekhar government. All this only bolstered that view.
