Talk:History of the Baloch people

This article is not currently in compliance with quality standards, hence the recent edit warnings. Please feel free to discuss this matter and also to reference the article appropriately and/or keep tagged, where useful, until reliable sources can be obtained. Please refrain from removing any verifiability quality control tags before reliable third party sources are found. Thank you.--Jhelyam (talk) 10:02, 22 May 2010 (UTC)


 * The template and related inline templates are intended for specific passages that need citation. For entire articles or sections that contain significant material lacking sources (rather than just specific short passages), other templates, such as  or , may be more appropriate.  (See Template:Citation_needed.)


 * Your tagging at History of the Baloch people, while obviously intended to draw the reader's attention to certain statements' unreliability, reflects a counterproductive overuse of inline templates, rendering the article nearly illegible while not offering future editors a sense of which problems seem to you especially important to fix. When you find yourself adding 40 tags to 25 sentences, that's a good sign it's time to just mark the whole section.  Or help us actually improve the article by removing or rewriting inaccurate material. The ultimate goal is not to merely identify problems, but to fix them.


 * On a related note, when adding section-wide templates, it is standard practice to add them at the beginning of the section, rather than at the end. AtticusX (talk) 10:39, 22 May 2010 (UTC)

Make this a redirect to History of Balochistan
Honestly, this article is unsalvageable. Whatever little verifiable factual information is here is replicated in History of Balochistan. The rest of the so-called content on this page barely passes muster as English, never mind Wikipedia's usual standards on verifiability and original research.

 * I would argue for it staying, provided that a large or total rewrite is done that includes subjects that would be outside of the scope of the aforementioned article, by being about the people themselves but not necessarily the region.
