Lack of Verifiable Sources for Kuyili's Biography

edit

The article on Kuyili, who is described as an army commander under queen Velu Nachiyar and claimed to be the first suicide bomber and "first woman martyr" in Indian history. While the narrative is fascinating, I noticed a significant issue: the article lacks verifiable sources and credible evidence to substantiate these claims. Most references are secondary sources, and no primary historical evidence is cited to confirm the described events. Given the gravity of the claims about Kuyili, it's essential to have robust and verifiable historical evidence. As it stands, the story seems more like a folk tale rather than a documented historical fact, which raises concerns about the accuracy and reliability of the information presented. I propose that we either: Revise the article to clearly indicate the lack of historical evidence and the folkloric nature of the story. Remove the unverified claims until credible sources are provided. Maintaining the integrity and accuracy of Wikipedia as a reliable source is crucial. I invite other editors to share their insights and any credible sources they might have to improve the quality of this article. Irajeevwiki (talk) 11:42, 5 July 2024 (UTC)Reply
