removing POV template without ongoing discussion per Template:POV instructions

I've removed an old neutrality tag from this page that appears to have no active discussion per the instructions at Template:POV:

This template is not meant to be a permanent resident on any article. Remove this template whenever:

There is consensus on the talkpage or the NPOV Noticeboard that the issue has been resolved
It is not clear what the neutrality issue is, and no satisfactory explanation has been given
In the absence of any discussion, or if the discussion has become dormant.

Since there's no evidence of ongoing discussion, I'm removing the tag for now. If discussion is continuing and I've failed to see it, however, please feel free to restore the template and continue to address the issues. Thanks to everybody working on this one! -- Khazar2 (talk) 18:51, 25 June 2013 (UTC)[reply]

renaming to Kangxiwar

Anyone opposed to me renaming this article to Kangxiwar? And leave Sumgal as history? I found a picture of valley a few days ago for Kangxiwar (File:康西瓦烈士墓.jpg). Probably can add post-Indo-China War info (Chinese war cemetery, and also remember reading it was used as Chinese staging area during the war). --Voidvector (talk) 07:39, 5 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Sure. Ok by me. -- Kautilya3 (talk) 17:48, 5 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]

How about the OSM coordinates 36°12′19″N 78°45′46″E / 36.2051648°N 78.7626963°E, which show some ruins? The current ones seem to point to nothing. -- Kautilya3 (talk) 18:43, 7 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Kautilya3 I think that might be the ruin of the military HQ. It looks too modern to be of the earlier Kyrgyz village. Feel free to change it, I just took the OSM location and rounded it to a round number. --Voidvector (talk) 22:11, 7 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Ak-koom / Ak-korum

Based on the map in this 1870s journal article, this place was also called Ak-koom. The map has a pretty good drawing of the bend of the river to verify it is near modern day Kangxiwar. Given the spelling and other travel logs, it most likely also spelled Ak-korum. The pass was also called Tupa or Ak-Korum Pass. Unfortunately, I couldn't find any sources that mentioned both to absolutely verify. This source seems to indicate it is on the left side (south side) of the river. --Voidvector (talk) 06:36, 7 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]
