[edit] Syed British relationship
Original research / no context. Clearly the author is using "Syed" with a meaning different from the two given in the Syed stub but does not define that meaning. -- RHaworth (Talk | contribs) 15:10, 3 January 2008 (UTC)
- Delete this OR. Springnuts (talk) 16:04, 3 January 2008 (UTC)
- A confused (and confusing) article. If that were all, there'd be a case for requesting clean up and improvement, but I fear that is is OR, and rather sloppy OR at that. Delete. Emeraude (talk) 16:29, 3 January 2008 (UTC)
- Clearly meaning sayyid, the honorific, as a grouping of all monarchs/elites. This is just an essay, though, and not worth keeping. --Dhartung | Talk 21:07, 3 January 2008 (UTC)
- It's also an attack page, so a candidate for a speedy delete. --Paularblaster (talk) 15:35, 4 January 2008 (UTC)
- Delete per nom, fails WP:OR, but I don't see how it's an attack page.--h i s s p a c e r e s e a r c h 04:13, 5 January 2008 (UTC)
- It gives a list of people, some of them living, and implies that for personal benefit they have abused their power to make their people politically or militarily subject to the British. It doesn't use words like "sold out", but it's apparent that this is what is meant by "bringing into the British fold". --Paularblaster (talk) 00:46, 8 January 2008 (UTC)
