Noted. Thanks. Do keep jotting down points like these here, as per Wikipedia policies and guidelines. Go ahead and make changes yourself as well. DTM (talk) 09:27, 24 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]
I don't think there are going to be any images for this article say in the way there was for the 2020–2021 Indian farmers' protest article. Nevertheless... Does the British government have a site like there is PIB for India - with regard to PM Johnson and his pictures with the bulldozer? For the reaction section? There are sources which connect this event to the larger bulldozer narrative. [2][3]. Maybe a media outlet which has put out something under relevant commons licenses.

I am afraid the topic of the page is not at all clear. Bulldozing for widening roads or removing illegal structures is common across the country. What makes it "bulldozer politics"? And what does the term exactly mean? The answers to these questions will determine what should be included or not included on this page. -- Kautilya3 (talk) 12:38, 25 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Kautilya3; Yes, I did notice that the page focus is lacking. I also started editing accordingly keeping page focus in mind once I realised it was becoming vauge. I still went ahead since I know this will be sorted. This is a start to sorting this out. DTM (talk) 10:32, 26 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Just nuke this junk and let K3 draft afresh. If you feel that Many of alleged perps were of a "particular community" is an encyclopedic sentence, you need to prolong whatever break you were taking. I am not even going into the brazen pro-BJP POV-pushing in the very first sentence of the lead.
(post 2/2) Some references in the article which directly use the phrase "bulldozer politics"-
[1][2][3][4][5][6][7][8][9][10][11] Articles which say that "bulldozer" has reached UPs election lexicon and India's political lexicon in general.
[12][13][14]
Now there are many more directly related references, as well as references which may not directly use the phrase "bulldozer politics", I am not listing them just now. The aim of all this I have written is this is heading towards -
Do we have the scope of this page from the above? Do we have a definition? Can we answer the questions posed by K3 above?
This is for the definition of bulldozer politics OR the scope of this article, what K3 is asking above, the direction it takes, what event should be a part of this and what shouldn't...
Definition. Explanation. Definition. Explanation. Definition. Explanation.
Bulldozers, and the word bulldozer, found its way into the election and political lexicon of Uttar Pradesh, and further across India, between 2017 and 2022. While bulldozers are routinely used across India to remove illegal construction, the bulldozer in this case has been used as an extrajudicial tool, a power statement, against criminals and communal violence rioters.
