Talk:Biswa Singha

message: Is it necessary to high light the original ethnicities here too much, the the very first sentence of the lede?  Is this important in the English Wikipedia, for a wider audience that might not know what these actually mean?  Chaipau (talk) 17:43, 7 March 2022 (UTC)
replies: text: Unnecessary in a biography article's lede. Better to have it in the ancestry section only. Napoleon article for example. - Fylindfotberserk (talk) 17:55, 7 March 2022 (UTC)

message: The source https://archive.org/details/KochRajbanshiAndKamatapurTheTruth.Unveiled2007 is a self-published work and not WP:RS.
* It is written not by an expert but by an ex-Captain in the security forces.
* It is published to promote a particular narrative of the Koch Rajbanshi people.
Given the political conflicts based on ethnicity in the region, this cannot be considered a reliable source.

message: regarding your revert, could you please explain why this is relevant to the biography of Biswa Singha who lived in the early 16th century?  This legend was narrated in the 16th/17th century Yogini Tantra as Shin (2021) mentions:
Though Shin says it is 16th century, the Yogini Tantra is generally considered to be either 16th or 17th century, and it is a late manuscript.  Shin mentions this text is not a Koch chronicle, and the reasons for creating this narrative is not related to the interests of the Koch dynasty.  In such a case, how is this relevant to the biography of Viswa Singha?  It may be relevant in the Koch dynasty page, but definitely not here where we are detailing the biographical details of a person. There is no need to repeat the information here.  The rule that applies here is WP:NOTEVERYTHING.  
Pinging .

replies: text:  They are trying to legitimize his rule posthumously?  Unless we have some definitive critical analysis of what the context was for this fantastic claim it has no relevance in Biswa Singha's biography. For all we know, it is grinding some other axe.

replies: text: Mythical origins are too far fetched to be included in a biography of a historical king. At best in the ethnic, caste or dynasty articles as in the cases of Chitraguptavanshi Kayastha and Kshatriya articles. - Fylindfotberserk (talk) 13:56, 24 May 2022 (UTC)
replies: text: Thanks, , I shall remove it now. Chaipau (talk) 14:02, 24 May 2022 (UTC)
replies: text:   Isnt it part of the legimitisation process??!! Also Sharma 2009 says the brahmins did it at the time of coronation of Bisu not after his death!! This should certainly be added below Homogenie (talk) 14:31, 24 May 2022 (UTC)
replies: text: Even if so it does not matter.  Look at Fylindfotberserk's note above. Chaipau (talk) 15:02, 24 May 2022 (UTC)
replies: text: This should be written below as the part of Sankritisation   Homogenie (talk) 15:15, 24 May 2022 (UTC)
replies: text: As already agreed upon, this will be part of the Koch dynasty, at most. Chaipau (talk) 15:19, 24 May 2022 (UTC)
replies: text: Certainly this should not be in the legendary section but below in the sankritisation process! Dont see how this falls under WP:NOTEVERYTHING Homogenie (talk) 15:28, 24 May 2022 (UTC)

text: I meant to add this part in the sankritisation process not in legendary origin just like it is here Dimasa Kingdom Homogenie (talk) 21:06, 24 May 2022 (UTC)
replies: text:  You may add it in the Koch dynasty page, just as in the Dimasa kingdom article; but this does not belong in the Biswa Singha page.  Chaipau (talk) 02:12, 25 May 2022 (UTC)
