# Talk:1985 Gujarat riots

Subject matter is not really notable enough for a standalone article. Darkness Shines (talk) 22:51, 17 July 2013 (UTC)
I oppose the proposal based on the fact that there are many other massacres that are standalone article. "Notable" in this case is a subjective judgement based on POV.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by Unbiasedpov (talk 02:36, 4 August 2013 (UTC)

OTHERCRAPEXSISTS is never a reason to keep an article. The other article has no substantial coverage and is not notable enough for a standalone article. Darkness Shines (talk) 07:17, 4 August 2013 (UTC)
Merge: Article of not much notability/significance to become standalone one. Can be introduced as section of 1985 Gujarat riots. - Vatsan34 (talk) 17:20, 2 September 2013 (UTC)

This article is one-sided and quotes biased sources. Does not explain how a non-religious affair got communal color. Does not mention role played by Mafia Don Abdul Lateef & his political bosses.  Unbiasedpov (talk 02:46, 4 August 2013 (UTC)

The sources are all from academic publishers, how are they "one sided and biased"? I have reverted your excessive over tagging. Darkness Shines (talk) 07:14, 4 August 2013 (UTC)

Hi - I'm going to be reviewing this article. Looks like an interesting topic – I'll get into a deep dive now. Thanks. SerAntoniDeMiloni (talk) 15:25, 26 May 2020 (UTC)
Hi Vanamonde. My approach to reviewing this article will be to run through it step-by-step, making small edits if I see any that are needed, and then assessing the article against GA criteria. SerAntoniDeMiloni (talk) 16:07, 26 May 2020 (UTC)


### Introduction
The introduction looks good.


### Riots
Looks good. Do you have any references for the foundation of the All-Gujarat Educational Reform Action Committee
This is supported by the next citation, Shani p. 80.
Just curious. Do you know the name of the commission that regarded the 16 and 23 April as the "darkest period"? It may be beneficial in terms of detail. Was it part of the judicial commission spoken about in the next section?
It's sometimes referred to as the Dave commission, which is a detail I've now added. I don't want to add it at that point in the text, because I think it would be distracting; the text is discussing something else at that point.


### Aftermath
No problems here.


### Images
Would you be able to find any freely available images/assets? This would satisfy 6a and b of the GA criteria.
I've added one more image, of the old city of Ahmedabad; images are generally very difficult, though, because a) most images from this period haven't been digitized, b) those that have been (in newspaper archives, for instance) are copyright and/or lacking in documentation, and making an argument to use a copyrighted image is always tricky. Vanamonde (Talk) 17:07, 26 May 2020 (UTC)
Agreed. The image there should be fine.


### GA criteria
Do we have the actual data on number of people killed and injured during riots ?   — Preceding unsigned comment added by 103.48.108.42 (talk) 17:59, 14 January 2024 (UTC)
