Kindly give respect to such a great person please change the name of article from guru nanak to guru nanak dev ji it's a request Jaskeerat Kaur (talk) 14:42, 1 October 2017 (UTC)

❌ For article titles, Wikipedia uses the common name by which the subject is most commonly known. That does not indicate any disrespect. Apuldram (talk) 22:40, 1 October 2017 (UTC)

Was he not from Khatri community, which is regarded as synonymous to kshatriya?

the religionfacts.com is not a trustworthy reference.

OK then what about in the paragraph editor typed continuously Guru Bank, change that to Guru Nanak Dev Ji and so to other name Guru Angad Dev ji.he is a God.dont depict him as person and I am very serious about it. Brs01 (talk) 08:42, 16 August 2018 (UTC)

This article is disrespectful. The full name is Guru Nanak Dev Ji. And that is how He is commonly known to the world. The title should be changed because it is wrong, disrespect aside. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Kiranreader (talk • contribs) 20:58, 27 May 2019 (UTC)


 * Honorifics, such as Dev Ji, are routinely omitted from names through Wikipedia. —C.Fred (talk) 21:02, 27 May 2019 (UTC)
 * Further, per guidelines at WP:WikiProject Sikhism, Guru should be omitted after the first mention of his name. —C.Fred (talk) 21:04, 27 May 2019 (UTC)

The title
The title of the page should be Guru Nanak Dev Ji. That is the common and the only name, like Jesus Christ or Pope John Paul ii. Because Pope John is incorrect, Guru Nanak is incorrect too. Just because it is wrong everywhere else doesn't mean wikipedia has to get it wrong too. Kiranreader (talk) 21:04, 27 May 2019 (UTC)


 * The subject's name is Nanak; the rest is a title. Popes are one of the few categories where we routinely include titles in the name, simply because it's a natural disambiguation. Gurus are another category, but we only include Guru in the name of the article, not honorifics like Dev Ji. —C.Fred (talk) 21:10, 27 May 2019 (UTC)

Guru Nanak Devji was not a Pakistani. Pakistan did not even exist the time Guru Nanak Devji was born. He was born in 1469 in then India or Hindustan as it was called at that time. Pakistan came into existence after 14th August 1947.

POV concerns
I have tagged this article as not displaying a neutral point of view. It appears to be written from a pro-Sikh perspective only. Statements about miracles are presented unquestioningly and his teachings are presented as universally positive and correct - all sourced from Sikh authors only. These sentences should be rephrased and more scholarly sources provided. In general the article as it stands is current very hagiographic and therefore unencyclopaedic. Ivar the Boneful (talk) 16:51, 4 November 2017 (UTC)


 * I do wonder if any of the concerns have been looked into. The tag is 2 years old at this point... --Trans-Neptunian object (talk) 21:44, 27 August 2019 (UTC)

The following paragraph was added to the end of the section regarding Guru Nanak's early years, and does not seem to be a valid entry here considering this is a section talking about his childhood and youth.

"Guru Nanak palace in modern day Punjab near Lahore was partially demolished by vandals.[18] It has invited sharp reactions from Indian politicians as it is a pilgrimage site for Sikhs across the world.[19]"

Someone should probably move this to a more appropriate section or remove it all together. 2001:569:772D:EE00:D41:258D:5888:1FBE (talk) 18:05, 30 June 2019 (UTC)

Date of birth
15 April comes in in the month of Baisakh. Hence this date is wrong. Also Guru Nanak Dev's Birth was in the day of Kartik Month Pooranmasi. Hence Admin is requested to write Kartik Month Pooranmasi instead of 15 April. Please dont spread wrong information. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2409:4055:30D:346:0:0:26C8:20AD (talk) 13:23, 12 November 2019 (UTC)

I dont know what the authority of the person locking this page is or why an edit was removed.

My point is that this is a source of information for people. In the opening statement it should be clear when the birth day was (April) and why/how it is moved to November.

Day of Vasaki - birth of Khalsa - was deliberately chosen to be on the date of the birth or the founder of Sikhism - Guru Nanak.

Sikhs have their own language/scripture and character set (Gurmukhi). Why would they be referring to Hindu priests to provide annual days on which to celebrate Sikh events ? Pmelectrical (talk) 06:08, 12 November 2019 (UTC)


 * The sources cited in the "Early life" section clearly state that some janamsakhis place his birth in the Kartik month (November), but the actual date falls in April. utcursch &#124; talk 14:59, 12 November 2019 (UTC)

Please remove this:

"Nanak's one and only sister"

and add this:

"Nanak's only sister"

Obviously she was his one sister if she were his only sister. 2601:5C6:8081:35C0:553:E4EC:55A5:6B1C (talk) 01:15, 13 September 2020 (UTC)

Wrong birth date
Please remove only date because there is no specific birth date of guru Nanak of English calendar. The year you wrote is right 1469. Please do not promote wrong information of any religion. Thank you 😊 2409:4055:85:5CA9:397C:E431:A0BA:E686 (talk) 08:33, 29 November 2021 (UTC)

It is about the birth date of Guru Nanak dev ji
I want to know why the date is put 15th April on wikipedia and then in bracket it is put oct nov kattak purnmashi — Preceding unsigned comment added by 103.253.202.66 (talk) 13:52, 13 May 2022 (UTC)


 * Looks like the celebration of his birth is not on the date of his birth. Not the only person that happens with; I can think of Jesus of Nazareth and Queen Elizabeth II off the top of my head. —C.Fred (talk) 14:05, 13 May 2022 (UTC)
