Let us upgrade

For the year 2006-07, let us concentrate on upgrading the contents as decided: Wales to upgrade quality of Wiki. Thanks. --Bhadani 03:59, 24 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]

As far as I could work out, the article has never been sourced in all these years. I've rewritten this based on a couple of sources that I could find but it looks like the meaning has changed completely in the process. The only stuff I can find that refers to the old meaning is a series of Raj/Raj-based sources that mention the Sirki Khels - eg: this and this. Raj ethnographies are not usually considered reliable and the title was different anyway. I have no problem with someone creating Sirki Khel or even another version such as Sirki (Sindhi tribe) if it is reliably sourced. - Sitush (talk) 15:04, 20 November 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Requested move 23 April 2017

The following discussion is an archived discussion of a requested move. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made in a new section on the talk page. No further edits should be made to this section.

Moved to Sarki (ethnic group). There is no opposition to moving the title, but some discussion of the appropriate target. Further discussion may be needed to determine whether this is actually the primary topic of the term, being the only exact title match with an article, but that goes beyond the outcome of this discussion. bd2412 T 13:16, 13 May 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Sirki → Sarki – The group name is obviously Sarki not Sirki Airkeeper (talk) 17:58, 23 April 2017 (UTC) Airkeeper (talk) 17:58, 23 April 2017 (UTC)--Relisting. Primefac (talk) 14:25, 3 May 2017 (UTC)[reply]

@Airkeeper: Sarki is already an article, do you mean to propose Sarki (name)? In ictu oculi (talk) 19:35, 23 April 2017 (UTC)[reply]

User:In ictu oculi, Sarki (surname) would be fine because it's used as surname by Khas dalits
Perhaps Sarki (ethnic group) would be more consistent with naming conventions? — Martin (MSGJ · talk) 12:37, 2 May 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Support Sarki (ethnic group). Agree with nom, sources prefer "Sarki". --SmokeyJoe (talk) 23:57, 3 May 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Support. This [https://books.google.com/ngrams/graph?content=Sirki%2CSarki&year_start=1800&year_end=2000&corpus=15&smoothing=10&share=&direct_url=t1%3B%2CSirki%3B%2Cc0%3B.t1%3B%2CSarki%3B%2Cc0 Google Ngram[ shows that "Sarki" outperforms "Sirki" by an order of magnitude, so unless there is are major other uses for "Sarki" in books this pretty much supports the move. And there don't seem to be a lot of major other uses for "Sarki". Herostratus (talk) 09:55, 11 May 2017 (UTC)[reply]
