Nuure Hassan
I wanted to create page for Nuure Hassan with reference articles. Nuure Hassan is a former politician, journalists and political analyst. I’ve provided references but it was deleted by Athaenara claiming it was for misuse of Wikipedia because I accidentally wrote the page wrong, instead of listing the occupations, I put in social media influencer and listed social media links. Intention was to proof but it was deleted for that reason. Would it be possible to allow me to re-edit? I will take out the social medias and make a better description and more references if possible.— Preceding unsigned comment added by Wadani1234 (talk • contribs) 07:06, July 7, 2022 (UTC)
- @Wadani1234: I have reviewed the draft that was deleted from your userpage as well as the one in your sandbox and their content and listed sources are not sufficient to establish Nuure Hassan's notability for purpose of creating a wikipedia article. If there are other sources available, you can continue working on the sandbox draft; would you like me to move it to draft space where you can work on it for some time and get feedback? Abecedare (talk) 17:05, 7 July 2022 (UTC)
Please move it to the draft space so I can work on it. Thanks Wadani1234 (talk) 22:24, 7 July 2022 (UTC)
- @Wadani1234: Done. You can find it at Draft:Nuure Hassan. You should take a look at wikipedia's guidelines on notability for biographical subjects and on reliable sources to see what would be needed before the article is submitted for review, and possibly moved to mainspace.

About my new article
I am writing a new article, and since i know many people here, who will just find excuse to hinder my work or to remove the sourced content, i need some suggestions. One thing i have observed that many a times people come to an article, where i have contributed and if they want to remove some content, which they don't like, they say: ABC content doesn't belong to XYZ article, it should be moved to EFG article. Now for my latest article, which is on the subject of violence against Dalits in Post independence Bihar (1947 onwards) and their empowerment after 1990s, particularly after rise of new leadership in state, i want a title. Is this (Atrocities against Dalits in Bihar and Dalit mobilisation) an appropriate title for that ? Give some advice, i don't want them to remove content on the excuse that this content isn't made for article on this title. :)Admantine123 (talk) 00:57, 13 July 2022 (UTC)
- (talk page stalker) Sounds like original research and synthesis, and thus not anything which belongs in Wikipedia. Is there an article on Dalits in Bihar yet? If not, such an article needs to be written first, based on reliable published sources. --Orange Mike | Talk 01:01, 13 July 2022 (UTC)
- No there is no such article like Dalits in Bihar. But high quality sources covers the topic, i mentioned. These sources explicitly talks that, how Dalit mobilisation took place first under Naxalism and second by regime change in 1990. The problem is that, this is about something a good section of people don't want to see here. Those who deal with caste related pages (senior editors) know that how the India's caste system plays role here. You may see the edits on Kurmi by RuudVanClerk and the counter edits by a senior editor after that. Please note the "reason", they have mentioned for reverting the edits of the blocked user.``Admantine123 (talk) 01:12, 13 July 2022 (UTC)
- Basically, i was inspired by this Violence against Muslims in India. Also, many a time i have remained victim of lack of understanding on the part of other editors. Some vandal once nominated one of my article and 2-3 people collaborated to get that deleted. I asked about title because i know that it has much effect on reader, while he comes across article for the first time. Please suggest a good one. Admantine123 (talk) 01:17, 13 July 2022 (UTC)
- I would like to stress more on the second statement of mine that some would not like to see some things, even when they are sourced. And since, the admins are mostly outsiders and don't generally know about the topic and local caste matters, it becomes easy for a vandal to use the forums like talk page for negative purpose. Anyway, here is extract from one such high quality source explicitly talking about the changes brought by regime of Lalu Prasad Yadav in Bihar. There are numerous high quality source on the topic i.e condition of Dalits prior to his rise and after him.

Our fight is against the wearers of the sacred thread. For centuries, the priests have made fortunes looting peasants. Now I tell them they should learn to milk cattle and graze them, otherwise they will starve.
Commentators appear to be particularly struck by the fact that, under Lalu Yadav's tenure, 'lower-caste' and 'untouchable' agricultural labourers became emboldened in their claims for fair wages and respect from their dominant-caste landlords. They were also less willing to quietly acquiesce in their own exploitation and discrimination. They were more willing and able to retaliate against dominant-caste mistreatment of their persons and properties. The result was an intensification of Bihar's infamous caste wars, with Backward Castes and Dalits retaliating against violence perpetrated by dominant-caste militias. For example, in December 1991, members of a dominant caste outfit that went by the name Savarna Liberation Front were alleged to have gang raped and murdered ten Dalit women. In February 1992, alleged left-wing militants, all either Dalit or Backward Caste, supposedly massacred thirty-five dominant caste landlords in retribution. The opposition Congress Party immediately blamed the Yadav leaders of the Janata Dal for fuelling antipathy among the subaltern population against the dominant castes: party leaders directly held the Chief Minister's incendiary speeches on social justice responsible for the massacre.Chronicling his travels in rural Bihar at the turn of the millennium, Dalrymple narrates his exchange with a dominant-caste landowner who survived the massacre. Describing his travails, Darlymple's interlocutor confidently declares that this massacre was the handiwork of the Bihar government, especially Lalu Prasad Yadav: The government will not protect us. It is on their side. This is the Kali Yug, the epoch of disintegration. The lower castes are rising up. Everything is falling apart.
As far as Bihar's landowning dominant castes could see, the advent of Lalu Yadav was nothing short of a disaster. These perspectives were somewhat echoed by subaltern populations, including Dalits who otherwise had little love lost for either Lalu Yadav or the Yadav community, with which their Chief Minister was affiliated. In the North Bihar regions where I conducted fieldwork31 during 2009 and 2010, a few years after Lalu Yadav was routed in the elections, my interlocutors from the Musahar community -historically stigmatized as 'rat-eaters'-recalled his early years with a glimmer in their eyes. "Lalu helped us find our voice", they said. Some among them told me of the lands they occupied under the aegis of the Janata Dal's earliest years. "The man did little to help. But, unlike the Congressmen, he did not come in the way when we fought for our dignity" 32

- @Admantine123: I share the concern Orangemike expressed, i.e, the proposed title seems a better fit for an essay than a encyclopedia article and it may be a better idea to develop a Dalits in Bihar article first (if that is treated as a subject category by secondary sources) That said, I am curious about the rubric under which scholars discuss the proposed subject since that would be the main factor in determining whether a stand-alone article is justified. For example, Environmental degradation in the Himalayas and related protest movements would raise concerns similar to the ones with your proposed article, while Chipko movement is undoubtedly a valid subject for a tertiary source since history/scholarship has reified that topic into one. Can you list the three best secondary sources on the subject (not merely discussing the subject) that would form the basis for your article?
- PS: Violence against Muslims in India (and similar articles) is IMO a poor model to follow. Unfortunately on wikipedia, most such articles are no more than excuses for POV pushers to synthesize list of supposed persecutions and contain little of encyclopedic content. Abecedare (talk) 02:08, 13 July 2022 (UTC)
- Sure, I can mention more than ten SECONDARY sources on the atrocities part and subsequent mobilisation of Dalits by the Naxalite group first and then the leadership of the state after 1990s. Few sources are here.Admantine123 (talk) 07:45, 13 July 2022 (UTC)

- It is possible that Violence against Muslim in India may be created to club sporadic indicidents together, But, going through some pages of these books one can note that the topic i am talking about donot fall in that case. The last source, and three above it talks about subordination of Dalits under Zamindari system in a systematic manner. The first and 2nd talks about transition in conditions, Dalits were subjected to. Lot of other sources are there and they also talks in depth on the topic.Admantine123 (talk) 08:11, 13 July 2022 (UTC)
- One thing i want to mention, that in this case, i would not mention incidents of violence against Dalits in present time in Bihar. The focus will be on the period of caste wars which aroused due to confrontation between landed group and Naxalite groups, on the question of changing the rural power relation. This is a notable topic and many scholars have written on that. This list[1] from South Asia terrorism portal will be used to identify the incidents that will be described in the article. Because, all of these cases are related to the Dalit mobilisation for wage rights and subsequent counter revolution that developed in Bihar. Admantine123 (talk) 08:21, 13 July 2022 (UTC)
- Also, i think various such articles on incident of atrocities exist, as for example, Rape during the occupation of Germany. My case is similar, it's not about clubbing frequent incidents but about the violence that occurred in period of caste wars, due to contest between caste armies like Ranvir Sena and Left wing extremist groups like Maoist Communist Centre of India and CPI-ML liberation. Would avoid recent incidents, specially after demise of Ranvir Sena. Suggest a middle way please, (PS:I have my examinations in September and still I took half an hour daily to prepare a large part of article). Should I remove mobilisation under politicians part? As sources on mobilisation under Naxalites are in abundance. Admantine123 (talk) 08:46, 13 July 2022 (UTC)

I have decided on the basis of sources that the suitable title should be Atrocities against Dalits in Bihar and agrarian conflicts, as all those cases as per sources pertains to agrarian conflicts in post independence Bihar. And the sources also writes in the context of same.Admantine123 (talk) 11:44, 13 July 2022 (UTC)
- I'm open to the general idea of an article that discusses the marginalization of Dalits in Bihar but I think you need to that, as Abecedare says, in a more general Dalits in Bihar style article. Otherwise, this will devolve into a catch all listing of incidents. Typically, that sort of article serves as a vanity article that no one looks at other than Wikipedia editors with a pov. A well constructed article about the history of Dalits in Bihar, how they were marginalized and discriminated against for centuries, post-independence violence against Dalits, the Naxalite movement, and the Dalit resurgence as a political force, that would be something of encyclopedic value. If you do insist on the list style article, note that your selected title has a modifier problem. "Agrarian conflicts" is incorrectly modified (your title appears to say that the atrocities were against agrarian conflicts). --RegentsPark (comment) 14:15, 13 July 2022 (UTC)
- Thanks RegentsPark, agree with both of you. It will be a long article now, but yes, i will write History of Dalits in Bihar now. This will contain all information on their culture, political mobilisation and atrocities against them, the atrocities part will be a section, and other information about their culture, political importance, resurgence, will also be there. Lot of thanks.Admantine123 (talk) 16:09, 13 July 2022 (UTC)
- I would suggest that you drop even the History of from the title and just create an article on Dalits in Bihar. In terms to content that will then contain (as RP said)
history of Dalits in Bihar, how they were marginalized and discriminated against for centuries, post-independence violence against Dalits, the Naxalite movement, and the Dalit resurgence as a political force,
along with some basic demographic information. And if some of the sections (say, on emergence as a political power) develop to be too long they can then be spun-off into stand-alone articles of their own; see summary style for a discussion of this process. Abecedare (talk) 17:01, 13 July 2022 (UTC)- Thanks a lot. Will do as suggested. Will take few months.Admantine123 (talk) 22:44, 13 July 2022 (UTC)
