Poorly sourced edit[edit]

The content added in this edit is poorly sourced. It cites four sources. The first source is a locally published nonscholarly/non-HISTRS Punjabi source, namely Rangretian daa itihas, which is authored by Naranjan Arifi, a retired employee of the Punjab government's Revenue Department. He is not even a scholar, let alone a historian – see WP:SPS for such sources. One of the primary sources added by them is Singh Sagar, which was authored in the early 19th century by some obscure Sikh poet.^[1] The other primary source cited by them is (Shahid Bilas) which was authored in the 19th century by a poet named Seva Singh. They didn't mention the page number of their fourth source. But the description about this locally-published source shows that it is authored by a Punjabi author Harbhajan Singh Dehradun in collaboration with some "Sikh Jago Lehar" (literally, Wake Up Sikhs Movement), which seems like a local WP:RIGHTGREATWRONGS group of Sikhs.

Feel free to reinstate the content after citing WP:SCHOLARSHIP.
