Keep and improve It is better to keep this article because the establishment of the First Sikh State was a historical event in the Sikh history^[1]^[2]^[3]. The article on 'Banda Singh Bahadur' focuses on the life of Banda Singh Bahadur while the article on 'First Sikh State' is based on the first political entity ruled by the Sikhs^[4]^[5], to support this claim there are enough scholarly sources exists, but there should be a discussion to reach a concensus on the name of the article, there is no need to delete the entire article.

Delete Fails WP:GNG. Cited sources don't support any "first Sikh state". Georgethedragonslayer (talk) 13:24, 3 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Delete there is no "focus on the political entity" as claimed by Shubhdeep Sandhu, this is a simple WP:POVFORK. ~~ AirshipJungleman29 (talk) 15:02, 6 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]
