Sorry DawnOfTheBlood to cast aspersions on your credibility as an editor; it was a mistake on my part. But, I still stick to my delete !vote. Salih (talk) 06:18, 13 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]

  • I agree with you to later change the article 'title' to its english translation. It also mean we first need to keep it so that we could work on english translation of this title later. Thanks.--170.35.208.21 (talk) 16:16, 15 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]
  • FYI - This article links back to Ghallooghaaraa which links to the sister articles Chhotaa Ghallooghaaraa and Wadda Ghallooghaaraa and back to Holocaust where it comes up in section 1.2 "Use of the term Holocaust for Jewish and non-Jewish victims". Maafa - the "African Holocaust or Holocaust of Enslavement" is also there. I didn't create all these holocausts. I am just trying to document some of them and bring them to public awareness.Guru Fatha Singh Khalsa (talk) 22:46, 17 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]
  • PS - While I agree "Ghallooghaaraa" is not yet a term generally used or known outside the Sikh community, if anyone searches "Sikh holocaust" or "1984 holocaust", it does come up. Using the word "holocaust" has difficulties of its own, as evidenced by those who would have it exclusively refer to the Jewish or perhaps the Armenian event.

  • Keep- It's not a fork of 1984 anti-Sikh riots as it does not refer to events happened in November 1984 only when anti-sikh riots happened. Here are proofs from google book search.--144.160.130.16 (talk) 23:28, 17 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]
  • Retain - This article has many citations used throughout the article, and quoted facts. But written very unencyclopedically and full of POV. Badly needs an overhaul, thorough re-write, rename, etc. but if the editors who are the most intent about keeping this article can put in the work and make it happen, then sure, keep it. The ghallugharas are real events in the Sikhs' history (they're discussed as such among many Sikhs) and are entitled to articles, if they are written better.3swordz (talk) 09:17, 18 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]
  • Thanks for the vote.. Yes! If there are so many editors supporting this article, then for sure, we should be able to, and your help will be greatly appreciated as well... Thanks again!!--DawnOfTheBlood (talk) 06:41, 19 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]
