"Thus Guru Sahib embraced death on..."

"The death of Guru Sahib changed the entire character of Sikhism radically from a passive people to courageous saint soldiers."

that type of thing.

Hello @Redtigerxyz, 'Guru' is indeed an honourifical term and usually these are removed from articles but according to WP:HONOURIFICS, "There are some exceptions: ... Where an honorific is so commonly attached to a name that the name is rarely found in English-language reliable sources without it, it should be included. For example, the honorific may be included for Mother Teresa." Arjan's name is presented with the term 'Guru' as a prefix in the vast majority of reliable sources and thus it is part of his common-name, so it is not necessary to remove the term 'Guru' from this article.

MaplesyrupSushi, It is Common name, as such I am not suggesting to rename the article. Britannica uses "Guru Arjan" as well as "Arjan". Wikipedia's Guru Nanak calls him Nanak at many instances.--Redtigerxyz ^Talk 16:33, 11 September 2023 (UTC)[reply]

@Redtigerxyz Okay, thank you for explaining. MaplesyrupSushi (talk) 17:27, 11 September 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Guru arjan is incorrect name please fix it because his name is Guru Arjun dev. 2409:40E4:58:6068:8000:0:0:0 (talk) 17:37, 9 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]
