Haha. I will certainly do it. Btw I found another recently created article that fails GNG. See Battle of Thane. I am not much experienced creating an speedy deletion discussion. Could you do it after double checking the sources and notability? Imperial[AFCND]12:57, 3 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]
@ImperialAficionado, if there's any discussion to be had, you're not looking for "speedy deletion". That's WP:CSD, and it's only for some very specific conditions like "there is literally no comprehensible text" and "sole author requests deletion". If you think it's very obvious that something ought to be deleted, such that no one is likely to disagree, that's not a speedy deletion (use WP:PROD for that). -- asilvering (talk) 23:16, 3 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Please review Criteria for Speedy Deletion so you are more familiar with the different criteria and when they apply. You can't take a page that is a redirect, blank the page and then tag it for deletion as an article with no context. It was never an article, it was a redirect. The appropriate criteria is CSD R2 which is a redirect from main space to Draft space. You shouldn't need to guess at what criteria is appropriate, if you want to patrol pages you have to know them very well and that comes from reviewing the criteria, not skimming over the page, and seeing when they are appropriate and which namespace they apply to.
Also, you don't need to tag the Talk page for speedy deletion, Twinkle automatically deletes talk pages when it deletes articles, templates or drafts. Thanks again. LizRead!Talk!08:13, 9 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Do not edit articles involving Mewar and Malwa conflict
All the mainstream historians have accepted that Sultans of Malwa, Gujarat and Nagore were defeated by Rana Kumbha conclusively and they had to retreat.

Why you are nominating to delete image which is sourced
@ImperialAficionado As you have nominated a my image foe the greatest extent of Mewar for deletion. I have given the page no 452 in A History of Rajasthan by Rima Hooja. If you at that time was not able to find source you would have contacted me. Nevertheless I am citing the source from the mentioned book " As a consequence of Sanga’s exploits, the borders of Mewar by this period extended from near Mandu (the capital of Malwa), in the south to Peela Khal (Pilya Khal), a small rivulet near Bayana and Agra, in the north-east, and deep into the desert country (stretching towards the river Indus) west and north-west of Mewar." Rawn3012 (talk) 04:33, 28 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]
That's not how mapping works. One source should show the map itself with its boarders. Pinging @पाटलिपुत्र. He can help you with it. Your map was just an ellipse with awful boarder, including unnecessary texts. That's why I nominated that for deletion.Imperial[AFCND]04:52, 28 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]
@ImperialAficionadoImperialAficionadoThere is no rule on wikepedia regarding that if you have source which is clearly mentioning the territorial extent you can make it. See the map of Chola Empire on its wikepedia page Rawn3012 (talk) 05:00, 28 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]
@ImperialAficionado We are discussing on the map above. Talking about the prior history I am accepting that the maps[only some] are subject to copyright which I have agreed to delete but as I was busy with some other task. I was not be able to it. Rawn3012 (talk) 06:26, 28 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Map of the territory of the Sisodiyas, in Schwartzberg, Joseph E. (1978). A Historical atlas of South Asia. Chicago: University of Chicago Press. p. 148, map XIV.4 (c). ISBN0226742210.
I am attaching the map derived from the Schwartzberg Atlas. The [2] map seems rather exaggerated, especially the northern extension: the border should stop well before Uttar Pradesh. Technically, it is accepted to make a map based on textual evidence only, but here the text is a bit vague, and the map shows a larger territory: "As a consequence of Sanga’s exploits, the borders of Mewar by this period extended from near Mandu (the capital of Malwa), in the south to Peela Khal (Pilya Khal), a small rivulet near Bayana and Agra, in the north-east, and deep into the desert country (stretching towards the river Indus) west and north-west of Mewar." Better to follow Schwartzberg. Also, using a modern map as a base is a bad idea: it is anachronistic. पाटलिपुत्र (Pataliputra)(talk)06:26, 28 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]
@पाटलिपुत्र The map given by you does not include Rana Sanga's territories of Northern Gujarat(Visalnagar,Vadnagar,Patan and Idar) which he conquered in Sanga's Invasion of Gujarat also the other territories such as Marwar and Bikaner. For your point that map should end before Uttar pradesh you hade to check this line from A History Of Rajasthan by Rima Hooja page 453" The Princes of Marwar and Amber did him homage and the Raos of Gwalior, Ajmer, Sikrl, Raisen, KalpI, Chanderl, Bundi, Gagraun, Rampura and Abu served him as tributaries.” It includes Kalpi which is in Uttarpradesh. The map can be improved. By nominating it for deletion is wrong step Rawn3012 (talk) 06:39, 28 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Hi, I was not able to find any reliable refs for this conflict. Maybe you will be able to do better here to improve the page. Ranadhira (talk) 07:52, 7 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]
I was also unable to get any reliable sources. The two refs that are there also barely mention this event. The steps you have taken are correct, but I cannot see any future for the page. Ranadhira (talk) 10:57, 7 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]
[3] pg.206 mentions that the conflict took place between Jawahar and Najib till February 1766 and ended in the complete failure of Jawahar, with him spending lakhs of rupees on Sikh and Maratha mercenaries. Ranadhira (talk) 11:24, 7 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Let's give some time to the creators and editors. If they fails to bring sources that shares about this in-dept, I will propose for a deletion. Else, we can build it. Imperial[AFCND]11:31, 7 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]
I don't understand why this much obsession over those articles. All the concerns have been cleared, and as WP:RS cites those, I am not willing to remove them. Imperial[AFCND]11:32, 8 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Hey@ImperialAficionado Do you have the book pdf of Mewar under Maharana Kumbha by Upendra Nath Dey. I have read all the the other the books based on his life but this one is remaining. As you edited Article of Battles of Mandalgarh and Banas by citing his book. I hope you would be having that.
Hey@ImperialAficionado I have recently made an article regarding the Mewar-malwa conflict and have nearly completed the work for Mewar- Gujarat conflicts, but while doing these things. One thing came to my mind that Malwa and Gujarat not only fought wars with Mewar but also fought with themselves then I got the idea to create a separate or edit the newly created Mewar-Malwa conflict article into a new article which would describe the struggles between Mewar, Gujarat, and Malwa. It would be a time-consuming process as the article should contain a struggle between all three.
^Fox, Richard Gabriel (1977). Realm and Region in Traditional India. Duke University, Program in Comparative Studies on Southern Asia. p. 87. ISBN978-0-916994-12-9. According to Suryavanshi, Abhiras got settled in south-western Rajasthan and north-eastern Sindh in the first century B.C. This region was called Abhiradesha.
R. D. Banerji is generally regarded as a reliable historian, with his work on the economic history of Bengal being particularly well-regarded;he was also an Indian archaeologist and an officer of the Archaeological Survey of India (ASI).
See WP:RAJ. It is a consensus of not using Raj era sources, especially of British officers in British Raj. R. D Banerji was indeed not an Indian archeology officer, but a Raj officer. It is not just an essay, but is widely accepted at WP:HISTRS. Adding that again and again just cause edit warring and loss of editing privileges. Take care, and try using better sources instead of sticking into a single source. Imperial[AFCND]14:36, 2 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Then should i just remove it since that's the viewpoint of R.D. Banerji and there is no other source supporting his claim except 'modern review (Calcutta)'? Based Kashmiri (talk) 15:39, 2 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Hey, you just tagged two users as confirmed socks. First, you shouldn't be tagging any users as socks. That is reserved to CheckUsers, SPI clerks, and administrators.

Military history coordinators review the bot rating assessments of articles. I have read Bahmani–Vijayanagar War (1398). The terms "lacs of hun" and "lahks of tankas" appear in the final paragraph. I have linked lahk to the article about that topic. I assume "lacs" is a different measurement. There are no articles on hun as a monetary unit or on tankas. Can you give a further explanation, perhaps in a footnote if necessary, as to the meaning and value of these units? I think it would be especially helpful to give an estimate of the worth in current dollars or pounds. I think a further explanation would help the reader understand the size and worth of these payments. Thanks. Donner60 (talk) 01:41, 22 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Hello. Both "Lakh" and "Lac" refers to Lakh. It was the problem within the sources. Tankas were one of the currencies used in medieval India, lacks a seperate article on it. Imperial[AFCND]08:53, 22 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]
The article will be discussed at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/List of Indian Kingdoms overthrown due to Muslim conquests until a consensus is reached, and anyone, including you, is welcome to contribute to the discussion. The nomination will explain the policies and guidelines which are of concern. The discussion focuses on high-quality evidence and our policies and guidelines.
Users may edit the article during the discussion, including to improve the article to address concerns raised in the discussion. However, do not remove the article-for-deletion notice from the top of the article until the discussion has finished.
Responding here as it relates to more than one page/a larger issues. In regards to the request to add the aforementioned page to the bundled AfD, unfortunately I can't add it now that discussion has begun and others have offered their opinions in the discussion; the rules of AfD state that an article requires the full 7-day discussion period. This one can be nominated separetely; if you'd like to do that, I would suggest using WP:Twinkle as it simplified the process. Be sure to read the rules of WP:AfD and ground your deletion rational in policy-based arguments.
However, in regards to the editor and the pages previously discussed, I have a feeling that there are large OR and HOAX issues at play. I think discussing this at ANI would be required, my plan is to thoroughly examine the references provided all the sources and, if necessary, discuss this there. microbiologyMarcus[petri dish·growths]12:44, 25 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Thank! I do believe there's something amiss. Another brand new user is actively editing within the same field as the author of these articles. It's concerning that the author isn't making an effort to learn the policies, nor is providing proper edit summaries for their contentious changes. Thank you for your well wishes for the exams. Regards. Imperial[AFCND]13:11, 25 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Hello @MicrobiologyMarcus, I looked into the conflict and found some good sources. I made a mistake in my search earlier, so I might have missed some info. I'm not sure if it meets GNG.
.
There are copyright issues in some parts, and I'm not sure if there are more. Also, the article could be better if it was written in a fair way. Imperial[AFCND]13:46, 25 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Siege of Vijayanagar
I have reviewed the bot assessment of the Siege of Vijayanagar. I noted that the infobox states that the Bahmani force was 40,000 and the Vijayanagar force was approximately 1 million. These figures are not repeated in the text. Can you provide a citation for these numbers? Certainly smaller forces have defeated larger ones, and circumstances seem to have gone against the Vijayanarar force, but it seems all out of proportion for a force of 40,000 (even cavalry) to defeat a force of 1 million. A citation would be helpful to avoid questions about a force this large being defeated by such a small force. Thanks. Donner60 (talk) 04:38, 26 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]
