__TOC__
== Summary ==
Additional considerations apply to articles published in ''[[The Times of India]]'' (''TOI'') after 1950. ''TOI'' has sometimes had a poor reputation for fact-checking and its use should be evaluated with caution. Editors should ensure that they do not use [[WP:RSNOI|paid advertorials]]—which were first published in ''TOI'' in 1950 at the earliest—to verify information or establish notability. Paid advertorials may be of particular concern in topics such as entertainment. Editors should also be aware that ''TOI'' may have published at least one AI-generated article.
