SikhiWiki's article on the establishment of Kartarpur, a community-edited reference wiki maintained by and for the Sikh community. Reliable for the tradition's own account, that the local governor Duni Chand donated land on the west bank of the Ravi and Guru Nanak founded Kartarpur there in 1522, where he introduced the institution of the communal kitchen, langar, before his death in 1539; Wikipedia's own Guru Nanak article corroborates the general shape (settling in his mid fifties, dying in 1539) without stating a calendar year, and itself names the underlying hagiographic chronology as disputed among scholars, so this atom is carried as tradition-attested rather than independently confirmed.
Facts
Assessment
Reliability Tier3
Community-edited reference page, tier 3, published by a dedicated Sikh reference wiki rather than Wikipedia itself. Used only for the founding year of Kartarpur, since Wikipedia's own Guru Nanak article gives ages rather than a calendar date; the underlying hagiographic uncertainty is named on the event's own entry. NotesUsed for Guru Nanak's founding of the first Sikh community at Kartarpur.
