Neutrality issue
[edit]I've put the neutrality banner because this 3 sentence article barely says anything, except that members are suspected to be criminals. MonsieurD (talk) 17:55, 14 May 2020 (UTC)
- MonsieurD that is not a neutrality issue. It might be a notability one but stubs are not necessarily biassed. - Sitush (talk) 22:53, 23 July 2020 (UTC)
- You're missing the point. The issue is not that the article is short, but that it includes mainly derogatory information about an ethnic group. The lives of these people cannot be all crime and prostitution. I think the banner should be reinstated. MonsieurD (talk) 20:00, 29 July 2020 (UTC)
- So go find that other information. I suspect you will struggle because my own searches reveal that this criminal etc aspect is indeed what is documented. Using the tag in that way is an abuse of it. - Sitush (talk) 20:24, 29 July 2020 (UTC)
- I have searched for banchhada, banchada and the plurals thereof at: Project Muse, Sage Journals. Cambridge Core, Oxford Scholarship, Oxford Journals, JSTOR, Credo, and Taylor & Francis. None of those return a single result. There are news stories such as this, which basically confirm what we say, and there a very few books at GBooks which are reliable and also seem to say nothing more. Like the Bedia, prostitution is what they are known for and it is socially accepted. We have to be careful not to fall into the same trap as the Brits did, ie: trying to impose western morality and legal concepts etc on the people of India. - Sitush (talk) 21:26, 29 July 2020 (UTC)
