Talk:Bulldozer politics

Few suggestions
Bulldozer politics didn't start in 2022. I can find sources from 2020. Also, I don't think that "Petitions" deserve a separate section. It should be under "Reaction" section. >>> Extorc . talk  19:08, 23 April 2022 (UTC)
 * Noted. Thanks. Do keep jotting down points like these here, as per Wikipedia policies and guidelines. Go ahead and make changes yourself as well. DTM (talk) 09:27, 24 April 2022 (UTC)

Images
I don't think there are going to be any images for this article say in the way there was for the 2020–2021 Indian farmers' protest article. Nevertheless... Does the British government have a site like there is PIB for India - with regard to PM Johnson and his pictures with the bulldozer? For the reaction section? There are sources which connect this event to the larger bulldozer narrative. . Maybe a media outlet which has put out something under relevant commons licenses. DTM (talk) 13:52, 24 April 2022 (UTC)
 * There may be. But PM Johnson would be the wrong connection to make. -- Kautilya3 (talk) 14:28, 24 April 2022 (UTC)

A timeline for April 2022 violence
Apart from the main body text, a sidebar timeline for April may be helpful. Undecided over it. A sample. DTM (talk) 14:47, 24 April 2022 (UTC)
 * Bulldozers were used in Khambat too.
 * Plus they were threatened to be used in Roorkee, Uttarakhand.

Content query
Does the article in its current state give enough weightage (WP:WEIGHT) to the religious aspects of events currently in the article? Anything given undue space (WP:PROPORTION)? DTM (talk) 09:13, 25 April 2022 (UTC)
 * I am afraid the topic of the page is not at all clear. Bulldozing for widening roads or removing illegal structures is common across the country. What makes it "bulldozer politics"? And what does the term exactly mean? The answers to these questions will determine what should be included or not included on this page. -- Kautilya3 (talk) 12:38, 25 April 2022 (UTC)
 * Kautilya3; Yes, I did notice that the page focus is lacking. I also started editing accordingly keeping page focus in mind once I realised it was becoming vauge. I still went ahead since I know this will be sorted. This is a start to sorting this out. DTM (talk) 10:32, 26 April 2022 (UTC)
 * Just nuke this junk and let K3 draft afresh. If you feel that Many of alleged perps were of a "particular community" is an encyclopedic sentence, you need to prolong whatever break you were taking. I am not even going into the brazen pro-BJP POV-pushing in the very first sentence of the lead.
 * Btw, raised != razed. TrangaBellam (talk) 19:12, 25 April 2022 (UTC)
 * Same as above. DTM (talk) 10:33, 26 April 2022 (UTC)

What is "bulldozer politics"?
What is "bulldozer politics"? This is not the same question as what should be the title of the page. Events that the article currently conveys - (post 1/2) DTM (talk) 11:03, 26 April 2022 (UTC)
 * 1) The use of bulldozers against criminals in Uttar Pradesh
 * 2) The imagery of bulldozers during the elections in Uttar Pradesh
 * 3) The use of bulldozers against criminals or those accused of crime in Madhya Pradesh
 * 4) The use of bulldozers against rioters or in the area of communal violence in April 2022
 * 5) Here, there is an extrajudicial use of bulldozers. As compared to just nationwide removal of encroachments.
 * 6) The media narrative related to this topic. There are media watchdogs which have reported on this.

(post 2/2) Some references in the article which directly use the phrase "bulldozer politics"- Articles which say that "bulldozer" has reached UPs election lexicon and India's political lexicon in general. Now there are many more directly related references, as well as references which may not directly use the phrase "bulldozer politics", I am not listing them just now. The aim of all this I have written is this is heading towards - Do we have the scope of this page from the above? Do we have a definition? Can we answer the questions posed by K3 above?

Other page titles
Do we have another title for this page? Do we shift content from this page and merge it with Yogi Adityanath, Crime in Uttar Pradesh, 2022 Jahangirpuri violence, and Ram Navami riots? In effect do we merge the content and delete this page? DTM (talk) 11:35, 26 April 2022 (UTC)
 * The sidebar timeline can be placed in 2022 Jahangirpuri violence for context? DTM (talk) 11:44, 26 April 2022 (UTC)
