This page should be moved to Baba Ramdev Ji

Baba Ramdev Ji was a hindu. So this name is more popular for him and mainly used among his followers. While Ramdev Pir is also used because one of his miracles but it is only used by very few people. So the main name should be used as Page title. If you have any argument please discuss it. Nonethelessian (talk) 13:24, 21 July 2021 (UTC)[reply]

@Nonethelessian You'll need to open a move request and add the sources why it should be moved to that name. That linked policy page will give you more details. -- DaxServer (talk) 17:08, 21 July 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Caste

This article has been undergoing a long term edit war over his caste [1], I've seen many editors introducing Meghwal as his caste in contradiction to the academic consensus over what his caste was. He has been unanimously described as a Rajput or a Rajput of Tanwar/Tomar clan in almost all scholarly sources covering him:

I hope this comment will clear up the dispute regarding his caste. Ratnahastin (talk) 05:18, 8 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]
