Captain Sanjay ChauhanOperation RakshakWP:BIO1E, this person is only notable for the military operation he planned where he died, and having been posthumously awarded the Shaurya Chakra for that operation. This is not the top military award, Ashoka Chakra Award, so is not analogous to the Victoria Cross or the Medal of Honor. Most of this article is about the military operation, and not this person otherwise. This should be renamed for the military operation. -- 65.94.170.98 (talk) 04:08, 3 September 2020 (UTC)Reply

Requested move 3 October 2020 edit

Operation RakshakSanjay Chauhan (soldier) – This page has incorrectly been named Operation Rakshak. Operation Rakshak was the Indian Army's larger decade-long counter-insurgency operation in Jammu and Kashmir. The operation Captain Sanjay Chauhan led was tactical in nature and small in scale, and only a tiny part of Operation Rakshak. Since this page gives no details about Operation Raskshak itself, the title is wrong. Capt Chauhan's operation was dubbed Operation Sahas (according to an Armed Forces Tribunal judgement about the operation in which he was killed in action, link given beneath).

Hence, I request that this page be moved from "Operation Rakshak" to "Sanjay Chauhan" only.

The page is about the Captain - the operation has been described in detail simply because only those details are publicly available, and other details about him are not. The focus of the page is the soldier himself, with the operation he was part of described in detail.

Even if the move to "Sanjay Chauhan" is deemed incorrect, the least that ought to be done is to change the name to "Operation Sahas", although the former will be better suited.

Note: I have opened this requested move for another editor following their good faith although undiscussed page move, which I reverted. It is hoped that this will result in the highest and best title for this article. P.I. Ellsworth  ed. put'r there 08:53, 3 October 2020 (UTC)Reply
