I am new to this Wiki editor and not able to use it properly. Please help me format Nawang Kapadia page and clean it up.

The breathless tone and emphasis on heroics and self-sacrifice in this article is inspiring, but hardly NPOV and accordingly must be toned down. Focus on the facts, not the adjectives.64.178.101.32 20:38, 28 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Most of this is from the official Army press release.

Notabilty?

The article needs to be rewritten to assert notability, more than just mentioning a plaque in mumbai. See Wikipedia is not a memorial. --Soman 14:08, 31 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Martyr?

I don't by which of the martyrs criteria Kapadia is to be defined by, the one of FreedomSkies ([1]) or the latest one from Bakasuprman ([2]). In any case, Kapadia fails to qualify. As per the 'considered as martyrs by the adherents of Hinduism' definition there is no source to that his death is being commemorated in terms of religious practice. As per the 'died due to their adherence to Hinduism' Kapadia cannot possibly qualify. I have a hard time believing that Kapadia's killer would have enquired about his religious orientation prior to his killing. --Soman 20:16, 18 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]

The article is not a problem. The category is. Kapadia is in all liklihood a Parsi or a Zoroastrian and cannot be put in the category of "Hindu martyrs".
