Regarding reliable sources
Please do not cite user-generated content as you did with this edit. Websites like sikhiwiki.org are not considered reliable on this project - see WP:UGC. To know more regarding the reliable sources for caste-related content, see WP:HISTRS. In short, this project requires academic sources for caste-related content. If you need any clarification, feel free to ask me here or on my talk page. Thanks. - NitinMlk (talk) 23:02, 5 August 2019 (UTC)

Re:Tandon /* Notable people */
Why do you think people "may or may not be' associated with the clan? Unless you have a valid citation to prove they are not, you should let the status to be associated with clan! Please undo the revision, I will check again and will re-edit it.

 * First, the line which you removed twice without discussion – with this & this edit – was added to take care of BLP violations. There is a long-standing consensus on this project that a living person should only be connected with any religion, caste, clan, etc. if they self-identify with it. In fact, we also need reliable sources to mention caste/clan/religion-related details of dead people. For relevant details, see this discussion, and also have a look at WP:CAT/R.


 * Second, in surname list articles, we only add notable entries, and provide just one blue link in every entry. We also keep description of each entry to bare minimum. So it is unhelpful to mention the Padma award related details. For more information, see WP:APOS and WP:DAB.


 * Finally, if you still want any changes on the Tandon page then please discuss them on the Talk:Tandon. BTW, "I will check again and will re-edit it" is known as WP:Edit warring on this project, and you should completely avoid that. Thanks. - NitinMlk (talk) 20:46, 6 August 2019 (UTC)

Dear (talk) Thank you for your response, I am still learning. I still do not understand how is omitting national recognition necessary (in the form of Padma Vibhushan and Padma Bhushan) and that it violates anything. If anything it just supports why the person should be in the list! Also, why would you remove hyperlinks of places of affiliation like NYU, Tandon Corporation, Coal India limited etc. Anyone looking up an encyclopedia entry and particularly this page would be interested in it. Lastly, why would you remove the entry of J.N Tandon, member of squadron 1, where I have also cited a reference

 * re: "I still do not understand how is omitting national recognition necessary (in the form of Padma Vibhushan and Padma Bhushan) and that it violates anything."


 * You are misunderstanding the purpose of the surname lists like Tandon. They mainly serve the purpose of helping readers in finding the biographies with same surname. We also add bare minimum details in each entry just to remove ambiguity about the listed persons. In short, these articles just serve as navigation help to the readers, and extra details like Padma awards are actually counterproductive for the purpose, as global readers don't know a thing about these awards.


 * re: "Also, why would you remove hyperlinks of places of affiliation like NYU, Tandon Corporation, Coal India limited etc. Anyone looking up an encyclopedia entry and particularly this page would be interested in it."


 * As I have already told you, disambiguation pages and list articles give just one blue link per entry – see MOS:DABENTRY. As you are replying without checking the links provided by me, I am providing the relevant quote from MOS:DABENTRY: Include exactly one navigable (blue) link to efficiently guide readers to the most relevant article for that use of the ambiguous term. Do not wikilink any other words in the line.


 * re: "Lastly, why would you remove the entry of J.N Tandon, member of squadron 1, where I have also cited a reference"


 * Again, as I have already told you, see WP:APOS, esp. WP:APOENTRIES. Tandon is a surname list article, and these type of articles just contain name of those people who have articles on this project. So they don't contain link of non-existing articles of non-notable individuals like J.N Tandon. BTW, a person is considered notable if they meet WP:GNG. But J. N. Tadon doesn't meet notability guidlines, as he has recieved just passing mentions in reliable sources. - NitinMlk (talk) 19:45, 8 August 2019 (UTC)
