This section is beginning to dominate the article, understandably due to the sensitive issues involved. However we should keep in mind that this sordid episode hardly represents the totality of the experience of Indian Australians over several decades. Lets stick to the facts, keep things in perspective and give issues due weight.
Some items I have removed:

The 2009 Assaults on Indian Students is not directly related to this page, since the students themselves were Indian Citizens who had come to Australia on a Student Visa. This article refers to the ethnic group amongst Australians, who are Australian, not Indian, in Nationality.Aussiaustral (talk) 02:16, 1 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Please explain your reasons and attempt to build consensus here before executing such a huge change. Thank you. Kittensandrainbows (talk) 02:18, 1 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Well, the "Indo-" prefix is commonly used to refer to Indian populations, whereas with the "Japanese American" case, there is no common prefix used to denote Japanese ancestry. The same applies for Italian American, and other such terms. However, the "Indo-", and "Anglo-" prefix are quite common, and is not just used to refer to "partnerships and techtonic plates", see "Indo-European", "Indo-Iranian", "Indo-Canadian", "Indo-Fijian". Similarly there are articles "Anglo-Celtic Australian", "Anglo-Saxon", "Anglo-Indian", where according to the standardisation which is being promoted here, "British Australian", "English" and "Indian Eurasian" would be used predominantly. Also Indian Australian, implies that the person in question is Indian, while Indo-Australian, puts the emphasis firmly on the identity as "Australian", with "Indo-" prefix used as a subtle descriptor. It's worth discussing, and the practice of using "Indo-" has extensive precedence.Aussiaustral (talk) 23:35, 2 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Can someone please provide a rational explanation of why the following Indian-Australians were deleted from this entry?
Latika Bourke - who is a former ABC TV Canberra correspondence, and now with The Age and Sydney Morning Herald, Jim Varghese - former Director-General in the Queensland Government, Dr Pradeep Philip - Secretary, Victorian Department of Health, Lloyd Rayney - prominent Perth barrister and former DPP prosecutor, Professor Arun Sharma - Deputy Vice-Chancellor, QUT.
These are big names and I'm sorry someone felt it fit that they not be listed. I concede, they aren't Bollywood stars and they don't bat and bowl, but they are prominent Indian-Australians in journalism, government, law and academia. Really, it's not like we're demanding that famous Aussie-Indian Puneet Puneet be listed, really. Let's not airbrush their names from their rightful place here.

Just wanted to check if there's any reason for the 'Notable Indian Australians' section to be separated into the "Indian ancestry" and『European–Indian ancestry』sub-sections, as it is currently? This is not common practice for other large diaspora groups in Australia, which are usually split up by the career/field the notable person works in, e.g. List of Chinese Australians, List of Lebanese Australians, Indonesian Australians#Notable people, etc.
I worry there might be an element of colourism in this distinction? For example, Guy Sebastian, Marc Fennell and Isha Sharvani — who are currently listed under "Indian ancestry" — seem to have some European ancestry as well. Astra Sharma is also currently in that section despite having a Chinese mother, so not Indian-European, but not only Indian... Is a third subsection needed? This could be complicated further by people like Ken Wyatt (not currently in the article) who has Indian, Aboriginal Australian, and European ancestry.
I'm also not sure about the inclusion of Christabel Chamarette, who was born in India, but does not have Indian ancestry (see this 2020 interview). Does "European-Indian ancestry" mean people with a mix of ethnically Indian and European ancestors, or does it include Anglo-Indian people whose European ancestors lived in India?
If the Indian Australian community wants to keep some similar distinction in this article, perhaps it could follow the lead of Filipino Australians#Notable people which distinguishes between Philippine-born people and people with Filipino ancestry? This would at least remove the lack of clarity around the meanings of the current subsections. Neegzistuoja (talk) 03:06, 17 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]
