Martyrdom in Sikhism

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

At the present The entire article is an atrociuos mix of OR and SYNTH which looks like a POV essay, rather than an article of an encyclopedia. Furthermore (as far as I can see) the subject is not notable enough as I can only find 7-8 books which make passing mentions of this, nothing more. I think that in its present state(without a complete rewrite, which is akin to deletion ofc) the article is not wiki material. FreeatlastChitchat (talk) 07:00, 8 November 2015 (UTC)

 * Delete: The entire article is in the form of an essay and is certainly not per WP:NPOV. Even if it is considered that the article be re-written, the article is not per WP:Notability. It is an article based on core primary research and unless it is improved, it cannot be approved in such shape. Further, the article is very similar to this and sikhiwiki.org may include article directly related to Sikhism, Wikipedia is vast and requires claims which can be verified at a larger and broader level.

 * Keep for two reasons. Firstly the article isn't so bad that it can't be improved (and deletion is not cleanup). Secondly, the subject is clearly notable. Anyone who spends thirty seconds Googling the the phrase "Martyrdom in Sikhism" will quickly come to the conclusion that this is an important topic to Sikhs. See for example    .

 * Keep. adequately sourced, and contains an appropriate list. Easily expandable. Does not seem like OR to me.  DGG ( talk ) 04:30, 30 November 2015 (UTC)
