Need reliable scholarly sources for it. See WP:RS. Wikis, bloglike sources and news sources will not be applicable. I've removed your addition of wiki like source. - Fylindfotberserk (talk) 15:41, 8 July 2022 (UTC)

@Virk Khatri: Stop edit warring. Bring WP:RS source here in the talk page which says Virk is also a Khatri surname. It is basic WP:BRD policy. - Fylindfotberserk (talk) 16:22, 8 July 2022 (UTC)

@@103.164.205.37:. I've clearly explained in my last edit summaries that the source URL () that I've updated is the same version as the one before. This time the page number and quote is clearly visible, and the quote only talks about the surname Virk used by India (Panjad) and Sikh. Do not change it. If you have reliable sources mentioning that the surname is used by Muslims and Hindus, bring it here for discussion instead of edit warring. - Fylindfotberserk (talk) 12:26, 20 October 2024 (UTC)

Also since I've used the phrase Sikhs in Punjab, India, per the available source, the possibility of non-Sikhs using the surname is open to interpretation. That is, not restricted. We would only need reliable sources for that. - Fylindfotberserk (talk) 12:38, 20 October 2024 (UTC)

Since the article got tolled by Wikipedia moderator, I generally want to include couple of more notable Virks personalities are missing such as Harbans Singh Virk (former army personal "retired") and Bakhshish Singh Virk are some of the political sensation, would likely to initialise with notable regime! per my request purpose Ontheloop (talk) 16:01, 20 October 2024 (UTC)

Virks are also in Pakistan (founded Virkgarh)

Please add this to the top paragraph: Virks are also found in Pakistani Punjab. They were prominent in Virkgarh (modern Sheikhupura), and continue to live there today.

  Hello, I want to add the above sentences into the article lead. HabibGondal (talk) 20:34, 9 March 2026 (UTC)

  Partly done: I changed it to read just "Punjab" as that is a more concise solutiom and I also added one of the two sources (the second source is supporting the fact a city was called Virkgarh but on it's own doesn't help verifying anything in the article). I also did some other minor changes. ―Maltazarian ^{(talk$\lor$investigate)} 21:53, 9 March 2026 (UTC)

  The Nation article mentions that Virks exist there. The 2nd source (Government source) mentions that it was known as Virkgarh (i.e. Garh (Fort) of Virks) before. Can you add at least that there was a place in Pakistani Punjab known as Virkgarh too? Thanks. HabibGondal (talk) 20:28, 12 March 2026 (UTC)
