Guru Gobind Singh (Wikipedia)

Wikipedia

Wikipedia's article on Guru Gobind Singh, read directly for this pass, which states that shortly before his death in 1708 he declared that Guruship would pass not to another human successor but jointly to the scripture, thereafter known as Guru Granth Sahib, and to the Khalsa Panth, the collective body of initiated Sikhs, ending the line of ten personal Gurus that began with Guru Nanak.

Assessment
Reliability Tier
3
A community-edited tertiary reference, not peer-reviewed, but the 1708 end of personal Sikh guruship and the transfer of authority to the Guru Granth Sahib and the Khalsa Panth are a settled, central fact of Sikh history with no live dispute over the year, corroborated across the outside search results read alongside it.
Notes
Cited for the 1708 end of personal Sikh guruship and the transfer of religious authority to the Guru Granth Sahib and the Khalsa Panth.
