President of Khalistan[edit]

Unreferenced article on the self-styled, self-appointed head-of-state of a proposed secessionist state. The article Khalistan movement makes clear that this a movement whose time has passed, and neither Khalistan movement nor Khalistan articles even mention the "president". I quite accept that governments-in-exile may be demonstrably notable per WP:NOTE, but in this case all we have is a weak secessionist movement which has not established a credible govt-in-exile. The "President of Khalistan" may merit a brief mention in Khalistan movement or Khalistan, but not a standalone article, as demonstrated by the fact that a google search throws in only tangential mentions of the subject in news reports on individuals, such as Khalistan ideologue Jagjit Chauhan dies.

Delete, it seems that sources cover the subject only very briefly, and are calling the "office holder" self-proclaimed. [1] [2] --B. Wolterding (talk) 21:51, 12 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]
