I'm unironically seething rn

Apparently known for attacking Muslims on Direct Action Day, the article on Direct Action Day makes no mention of this person. Unreliable and partisan sources from 21st century apparently provide trivial coverage about this person but they appear to be looking for a folk hero than providing any actual fact-based coverage about the person.
There's literal press interviews of him that come up on top of the google searches. I actually want to find this janny irl.
More than trivial coverage comes from blacklisted unreliable sources.
Even if they dismissed all Indian sources with that line(which they do) I still can't understand how a BBC journo with a PhD on Indian history is also unreliable. But I'm not an enlightened wiki editor.
I can get people who hate him(though personally I love him) but deleting his wiki page because you hate him is serious shit.

wikipedia is actually such a terrible resource. the clique culture prevents most people from editing articles, and most people who edit articles are pushing an agenda
