What decides the order?

This list is ranked on a editorial basis — see the methodology above for what that means for this list specifically.

What counts as a source?

Only a citation that is inline and expanded on the ranked subject's own page — never a source cited on this list alone.

Why might an entry be missing?

A rank is withdrawn, not renumbered, when the subject it named is no longer published. The gap stays visible rather than being closed.

How often does this list change?

A new dated edition, not a silent edit, is how the ranking itself changes.

How this list is compiled

Editorial

SEED CONTENT — AI-drafted under the maintainer's waiver of strategy rule 5, as the register's methodology explains at length. The sources were read in full. WHAT THIS IS. The people in this register whose cited source places them in film or television. 3 of them. WHY IT IS SHORT, AND IT IS NOT BECAUSE THE FIELD IS. Wikipedia's Category:Marwari people is thick with actors, directors and television performers — Sooraj Barjatya, Vijay Varma, Shantanu Maheshwari, Harshad Chopda, Kiku Sharda, Nidhhi Agerwal, Rohit Purohit, Yogita Bihani and more. Nearly every one of those pages says "born into a Marwari family" and footnotes it to the Times of India, a portal this site tiers C for syndication, or to a scraped-biography site, or to nothing at all. They are candidates with a known sourcing gap, they are listed as such in the dataset behind this register, and they belong here the day a citable source is found. This list is short because of what has been sourced, not because of who exists. WHAT THE ORDER MEANS. Nothing. Alphabetical by first name. ONE ENTRY RESTS ON A COLOURFUL SENTENCE RATHER THAN A NEUTRAL ONE, and it is flagged rather than smoothed over. The Telegraph calls Rohit Khandelwal "this Marwari boy whose chiselled features give him a movie star air". That is the sentence that identifies him and so it is the sentence stored; the characterisation is the newspaper's, is attributed to it, and is not this publication's description of him.
