The Architect of the Nanakshahi Calendar, a 2022 SikhNet community website article, covers the figure behind the modern Nanakshahi Sikh calendar reform. Its strength is that SikhNet is a widely used and established community resource within the Sikh tradition, reporting from inside the community it describes. Its limit is that it is a community website article rather than independent academic scholarship, so a claim about the calendar's wider reception is better checked against a scholarly source.
Facts
Assessment
Reliability Tier2
SikhNet's own account of the Nanakshahi calendar's institutional history and the dispute over it, not a statement of Sikh teaching or practice itself. The atlas treats institutional self-accounts about holdings and history as outside tier 3, which is reserved for a tradition's own account of its own teachings and practice. That resolves the tie the "news" tag's even split could not: read as the same institutional-self-account shape as a museum's own account of its holdings, at tier 2. NotesA SikhNet community website article on the architect of the Nanakshahi calendar; a community reference article, not independent scholarly analysis.
