Thanks to User:Evecurid for creating this article. I wanted to raise the topic of the article and scope. It seems to me that the term Ganden Phodrang properly refers to the Dalai Lama's labrang, that is, the corporate organisation that serves him. In this sense, it was created before 1642 (I suppose during the lifetime of the 3rd Dalai Lama) and continues to exist today. It had control of the Tibetan government between 1642 and 1951 (and to some extent until 1959). Ideally, we would have an article on both the traditional corporate body and the polity it controlled during part of Tibetan history. This article is about the latter. That being the case, we might consider moving this article to Lhasa state, Ganden Phodrang polity, Ganden Phodrang regime, something like that. Thoughts? – Greg Pandatshang ( talk) 03:34, 16 March 2015 (UTC)
Recent edits relate to the scope issue that I brought up currently. The article currently says "It existed as the Tibetan government in Exile after 1959 in India and lasted until 2011 with the 14th Dalai Lama's retirement." That does not make a lot of sense. The Ganden Phodrang ceased to govern Tibet independently in 1951 and its state structure was dissolved in 1959. Per the quotation from the Dalai Lama above, the "Ganden Phodrang" didn't cease to exist in 2011, but clearly this is Ganden Phodrang in the other sense, the personal service of the Dalai Lama. If Ganden Phodrang means a state structure rules a territory, then it ended in 1959. – Greg Pandatshang ( talk) 19:32, 18 May 2015 (UTC)
