Lonnie Smith may be a convert too. He wears a turban, beard, and mentions Sikhism in positive terms. However it is uncertain if he actually converted to Sikhism or has adopted aspects of its aesthetic for some other reason. See here and Jazz Times.-- T. Anthony 14:40, 4 January 2007 (UTC)
Should people who joined 3HO count? Also is this list even justified? Because it seems so small I think you could put it in another article, like Religious conversion with little or nothing lost.-- T. Anthony 10:08, 8 June 2007 (UTC)
Ok here's the thing: you cant put in non-notable people in this list. A person must have an article on them before you can put them in. 2) Dont use some XYZ sikh partisan website as a reference. You need a reliable website or reference according to WP:RS. These people may have converted to sikhism, but you need encyclopedic entries to include them here.-- Matt57 ( talk• contribs) 17:02, 15 January 2008 (UTC)
Well, most of the people that you just deleted were notable (family members of suicide bombers, eminent medical persons, authors, saints etc). In addition, MOST DID HAVE ARTICLES. One wonders if you bothered reading the citations. Or did you just get trigger happy and click the delete button?

So, if I create articles for them, will you 'accept' them, oh great one? Babu mann ( talk) 22:20, 15 January 2008 (UTC)BabuMann
As for notable people, most of the people on my list were notable – to Sikhs. Granted, I chucked in a few shit ones. Sorry. I will do some article entries, so keep an eye out. Babu mann ( talk) 22:46, 15 January 2008 (UTC)BabuMann
Do not remove any entries as of May 2021 what may be a note worthy to one person may not be to another its all subjective. So please unless you have concrete proof to the contrary of a person not being Sikh do not delete anything. Stop with the censorship. Harpal2014 ( talk) 19:59, 28 May 2021 (UTC)

According to the book, The Tartan Turban: In Search of Alexander Gardner, author John Keay mentions how Gardener lived his life as a Muslim, having traveled across the Middle East and ultimately settling in South Asia after having served in Punjab.
Therefore, is it valid to include this name in this list? AnyBurro9312 ( talk) 00:34, 4 May 2024 (UTC)
