Ahmadiyya are not Muslims

Ahmadi is a cult, they have no relation with Islam. Please donot associate them with Islam Please 139.135.41.212 (talk) 18:57, 25 January 2025 (UTC)

Ahmadiyya Muslims identify themselves as Muslims so this is a non-issue. ForwardIsland4328 (talk) 08:36, 17 November 2025 (UTC)

First paragraph of the article

The first paragraph:

"Gurū Nānak (15 April 1469 – 22 September 1539; Gurmukhi: ਗੁਰੂ ਨਾਨਕ; pronunciation: [gʊɾuː naːɳəkᵊ], pronunciationⓘ), also known as Bābā Nānak ('Father Nanak'), was an Indian spiritual teacher, mystic and poet, who is regarded as the founder of Sikhism and is the first of the ten Sikh Gurus."

is potentially misleading because it places his association to Sikhi at the last instead of the beginning.

Instead, I argue that the text ought to read as follows:

"Gurū Nānak (15 April 1469 – 22 September 1539; Gurmukhi: ਗੁਰੂ ਨਾਨਕ; pronunciation: [gʊɾuː naːɳəkᵊ], pronunciationⓘ), also known as Bābā Nānak ('Father Nanak'), is regarded as the founder of Sikhism and is the first of the ten Sikh Gurus. He is also revered as an Indian spiritual teacher, mystic and poet".

I believe this change places Guru Nanak's association with Sikhi first and foremost instead of at the end. ForwardIsland4328 (talk) 08:43, 17 November 2025 (UTC)

 Not done. The current wording seems perfectly fine, while the proposed wording seems a bit non-neutral. Please establish a consensus first before requesting such a change. –Deacon Vorbis (carbon • videos) 18:25, 18 November 2025 (UTC)

Our Guru’s name is “Guru Nanak Dev Ji” and nothing in between. Please edit it to his correct name, the way it is currently written is very disrespectful. Only the Muslims try to edit the works Guru or Dev Ji out of disrespect or refer to our Guru as Baba Nanak to make him seem less superior to the god they follows.

I hope you accept my request.

Thank you

 Not done. You need reliable sources for any change. PhilKnight (talk) 01:22, 31 December 2025 (UTC)

Gurbilas Patashahi 6, written 1718, also attributed to Bhai Mani Singh contradicts Mani Singh’s Janamsakhi as it instead says Guru Nanak was born on the full moon of Katak.
