Talk:List of Punjabi Muslims/Archive 1

Multiple theories of origin
You cannot add the names of people who have no consensus regarding their origin being Punjabi. A lot of these people have been described as having other ethnic origin as per other theories. CrashLandingNew (talk) 06:14, 13 September 2023 (UTC)


 * That's matter of reliability of source. Ethnicity is a fluid concept, and people can actually identify with more than one ethnicity. Also I'm not aware of any WP policy regarding it. You can remove any individual only if the source cited is unreliable. Sutyarashi (talk) 03:15, 15 September 2023 (UTC)
 * If you've questions regarding reliability of the sources, then post them. Otherwise same individuals are present in the various Wikipedia lists, still no one has raised any question about them. Sutyarashi (talk) 11:28, 16 September 2023 (UTC)


 * You are relying on an idea about race not ethnicity. And even this is just an opinion, not fact. It's also not relevant here as there are completely different theories of origin for the people under discussion here. The category of their ethnicity is not under discussion but the factual position is. A person regarded as belonging to ethnicity 'A' by various sources and of ethnicity 'B' by others cannot be declared as a person only of ethnicity 'B' on Wikipedia. It's quite obvious, it's misleading for the readers. CrashLandingNew (talk) 11:35, 16 September 2023 (UTC)

 * If you've still any objections after such lengthy explanation, you should go to WP:DR. If talk page remains stale for more than than a week, I would restore the removed bits. Sutyarashi (talk) 16:59, 17 September 2023 (UTC)
 * Your explanation has not been satisfactory and has been countered. How can you restore it? Building consensus is as much your job as it's for others. You can't restore it without consensus for that would be furthering the edit war in your part. Go and seek opinion to build consensus to add your material on the pages.
