thread_title: Move to [[Punjab]]

message: My God, my God. I remove links to this page every week – within 7 days, at least 50 new links have cropped up. Which is good in a way – new articles are appearing. But it's a bloody pain in the neck!!! — riana_dzasta • t • c • e • ER • 10:02, 13 August 2006 (UTC)
thread_title:  ugh 

message: Am I missing something here but why does Sikh Empire keep getting put back into the "former countries, states and provinces" section. All the others contain the word Punjab, in any case Sikh Empire is a redirect. Pahari Sahib 20:22, 5 July 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: It seems to be a political campaign by Wjkk20 to insert "Sikh Empire"  and "Khalistan" into a series of articles related to the Punjab. He has been warned not to keep doing this without discussion and general agreement on the talk page of the articles in question. Sunray (talk) 02:29, 5 October 2008 (UTC)
thread_title: Sikh Empire

message: Why don't we change the article's name again from Sikh Empire to Punjab Empire as it is the most authentic and most original name of the country. Because nobody has ever called or known this country by name of Sikh Empire/Confederacy, everybody has always known it by name of Punjab Empire or just Punjab. And also because if anybody would be come looking for the former Punjabi country then they would most likely type in Punjab, not Sikh Empire/Confederacy. Plus it would also give the Sikh Empire (originally Punjab) a permanent place on Punjab disam. page. What do you say? Wjkk20 04 December 2008 (UTC)
If agree, kindly also contact User:Sunray and User:Ka Faraq Gatri
:Actually that's a very good point, I agree with this. Pahari Sahib 02:20, 5 December 2008 (UTC)
thread_title:  Sikh Empire to Punjab Empire 

message: Just an explanation of this, the word Punjab is made up of two Persian words Panj and Aab. This is commonly accepted, see here. There may be similarities with Sanskrit because both languages are related (for example Persian Āb is cognate with Sanskrit Āp) - but the word is of Persian origin. Pahari Sahib 12:53, 24 February 2009 (UTC)
thread_title:  Persian or Sanskrit 

message: Punjab →  –
Punjab refers mainly to Punjab (region), so best is to redirect Punjab to Punjab region and move this page to disambiguation. New linkings keep coming so better to move it to disambiguation and redirect. Alertedlevel2 (talk) 04:34, 11 September 2012 (UTC)
replies: text: I think this is one of those cases where it makes more sense to have a comprehensive article at the basic title, rather than defaulting to a dab page, like we do at Football and Ireland (although the latter sure is a can of worms). I don't see the advantage to having a dab page where an article works just as well. --BDD (talk) 03:09, 21 September 2012 (UTC)
replies: text: The article is not a "comprehensive article".  It is a weak article with a too-long intro, some history info largely terminating a couple of centuries ago, and some pictures.  —  AjaxSmack  16:58, 22 September 2012 (UTC)
replies: text: I'm not saying Punjab region is a comprehensive article, but it should be. Don't let the article's current state turn you off. I've tagged it with your concerns. --BDD (talk) 16:02, 23 September 2012 (UTC)
replies: text: Then this move should wait until such improvements are made (an application by analogy of WP:CRYSTALBALL).  —  AjaxSmack  01:04, 24 September 2012 (UTC)

text: See lot of new links to this dab page, here. I fixed few, but more links will come, it will be better if it redirected to Punjab region. Alertedlevel2 (talk) 05:38, 22 September 2012 (UTC)
replies: text: The incoming links to "Punjab" as of this writing are primarily for the Indian state with a couple for the Pakistani province and a couple for Punjab Province (British India).  None were intend for the region and in cases like the List of Indian states and territories by Human Development Index, sending readers to the Punjab (region) article is patently misleading.  This is an additional strong argument against a move.  —  AjaxSmack  16:58, 22 September 2012 (UTC)
