Extended-confirmed-protected edit request on 26 April 2023

Per WP:NPOV, we are supposed to include all significant viewpoints in an article. Hence, we should add India as an alleged state supporter of TTP to the infobox, with a note stating that India has denied such allegations. Not only is this connection Pakistan's stated POV[1], but also substantiated by other sources such as Bharat Karnad[2], the UAE per Wikileaks[3] and Pakistani Taliban spokesperson Ehsanullah[4] (the veracity of his statment is confirmed by Karnad)[5] Solblaze (talk) 07:59, 26 April 2023 (UTC)

 Not done for now: please establish a consensus for this alteration before using the {{Edit extended-protected}} template. An addition to the infobox which will lack context is sure to be a contentious change that will require consensus before addition. ScottishFinnishRadish (talk) 14:02, 28 April 2023 (UTC)
@ScottishFinnishRadish let's try WP:BRDing this one? I say this because WP:NPOV is a pretty straightforward policy. Solblaze (talk) 09:41, 29 April 2023 (UTC)
It has been discussed previously, with insufficient support for its inclusion. Captain Jack Sparrow (talk) 10:50, 30 April 2023 (UTC)
If you're referring to this RFC, not only are the choices in the original RFC a bit poorly worded, but the vast majority of the arguments of those opposing it also boil down to "Pakistan said it so we shouldn't include it" which blatantly violates the very principle of WP:NPOV.
I don't think our personal biases can override Wikipedia policy. Discarding Pakistan's POV on the issue and taking India's as gospel truth isn't right. Solblaze (talk) 14:32, 30 April 2023 (UTC)
Reopening this, it's been almost a year with no reply. Solblaze (talk) 07:15, 8 February 2024 (UTC)
