Wikipedia talk:Articles for deletion/List of actions by Major Singh Johal

General discussion about sources
Addressing a couple of points that were raised at the AFD, since they don't deal directly with the article being discussed: Abecedare (talk) 00:15, 8 July 2023 (UTC)
 * Since you asked: Surinder Singh Sodhi is better sourced overall but also has some junk sources such as this and this.
 * Newspaper articles may be okay for some minor supplemental or undisputed information but should not form the basis for articles related to events of historical importance that happened in the 80s; enough time has passed for scholars to review and analyze such primary sources and produce secondary works, which is what we should reply on
 * Just out of curiosity though: what repository (such as ProQuest, LexisNexis etc) archives old issues of Ajit (newspaper)? I didn't find the issues dating back to the 80s/90s on the newspaper's website.


 * I will remove the junk sources. I don't really use newspapers that much on the Sodhi page, I have physical copies of lots of old Punjabi newspapers. CanadianSingh1469 (talk) 00:39, 8 July 2023 (UTC)
