Wikipedia talk:Articles for deletion/Majithia Sirdars

KEEP Anyone familiar with history of the pre-partition Punjab would find it incredible that a Wiki page on the Majithia family would be questioned. This family is a notable and well known part of Maharaja Ranjit Singh's Sikh Empire. There are not many original sources of history from that time, but here is a short list: * The most authoritative record of the notable personalities of the time is Lepel Griffin's 'Panjab Chiefs'. (You may read Mr. Griffin's entry in Wikipedia'. He dedicates a major chapter to this family. * Balraj Saggar's 1993 book 'Who's Who in the history of Punjab' covers the Majithia family. * Prof. Ganda Singh's (1984, Punjabi University, Patiala) book 'The Singh Sabha and other socio-religious movements in Punjab' covers this family's seminal contribution to the founding of Chief Khalsa Diwan Society - which was notable in the Sikh revival of late 19th century and part of the progression of Punjab towards the independence movement that followed few decades later. * Madan Gopal, 'Life and Times of Dyal Singh Majithia', Uppal Publishing House, New Delhi, 1999. * Gurnam Singh Rekhi, 'Sir Sundar Singh Majithia....', Har-Anand Publications, 1999.

I'm the original author of the page. I will be adding these references and hopefully improve it a bit more too. However, I have noticed that some recent edits have started adding some current Punjabi politicians' information to this page - who are decendents of this family but should not be played up beyond a basic mention. I intend to edit some of this material out and would appreciate any guidelines towards that.
