Anti-Muslim pogroms in India
[edit]- ... that anti-Muslim pogroms in India have been described by Gyanendra Pandey as a new form of state terrorism?
- Reviewed: If you reviewed another article before listing this DYK nomination, put it here. Otherwise leave this line alone; it will blank when saved.
- ALT1 ... that since 1950 anti-Muslim pogroms in India have resulted in an estimated 10000 people being killed?

Long enough, new, expanded. Has neutral point of view. I think it should go ahead. Faizan 04:46, 4 June 2013 (UTC)
- Interesting to know that you specifically pointed out "Has neutral point of view" when you were quite aware of all the NPOV issues with this article that were being discussed at various venues. §§Dharmadhyaksha§§ {T/C} 14:07, 6 June 2013 (UTC)
Has a neutrality tag. — Crisco 1492 (talk) 14:05, 6 June 2013 (UTC)
- (edit conflict) double edit conflict Whoosh! Was going to say exactly the same thing— the article has maintenance tags which need to be solved! --Tito Dutta (talk • contributions • email) 14:12, 6 June 2013 (UTC)
- There are some massive POV problems in this article, beginning with the first sentence, which contains a blatant piece of source misrepresentation [1]. It should never go on DYK unless significantly cleaned up. Fut.Perf. ☼ 07:12, 7 June 2013 (UTC)
- Other issues a) the linked Gyanendra Pandey in the hook is a cricketer! b) the mentioned source states Since 1950, Hindu-Muslim violence has claimed more than 10,000 lives. A systematic causal analysis of these events becomes a challenge in the absence of reliable data, assuming that government data tends to be biased. — So, sourcing unclear! --Tito Dutta (talk • contributions • email) 07:35, 7 June 2013 (UTC)
- The right Pandey should be Gyanendra Pandey (historian). The hook got a super-quick green tick. The article also has lousy grammar. Eg: "described as one the largest", "Mallika Sarabhai harassed intimidated and falsely accused of trafficking.", "the Anti-Sikh pogrom in 1984 were a enabled by public agencies" §§Dharmadhyaksha§§ {T/C} 08:19, 7 June 2013 (UTC)
