This article has been checked against the following criteria for B-class status:
According to Google Search, the name "Dogra–Tibetan Treaty, 1842" is virtually not used by ANY sources. Wikipedia should use the common name (WP:COMMONNAME), which is a CORE principle of Wikipedia for article titles. Also, according to Google Scholar, "Treaty of Chushul" returns 30 results,[1] whereas "Dogra–Tibetan Treaty, 1842" returns no result at all.[2] --Wengier (talk) 01:21, 15 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]
It doesn't have to be used explicitly, because it is a descriptive term. But I guess it is ok. Even if "Treaty of Chushul" is a POV term, if it comes into widespread use, we have to accept it. But why do you want "Ladakh-Tibet treaty", which is used by a single source of dubious quality?
The treaty has been called "Treaty of Chushul" by so many sources, including the highly reputed ones such as the Cambridge books. And there is no source given to support the claim that it is a POV term. Even if it is, the term is widely used, so we have to accept it as you just said. As for "Ladakh-Tibet treaty", I do not have a strong view on it. I just tried to list some alternative name(s) found in sources, but there is no problem to delete it IMO. --Wengier (talk) 02:01, 15 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Yeah, I know. The Indian security establishment, with its wishy-washy knowledge, is having more impact than it deserves. But such is the world! -- Kautilya3 (talk) 02:08, 15 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]
