Its very simple; The show does not exist! The article is a replica of Porus (TV series). Basically it is the same show, just re-run with a new title on a different channel.

- If you have read the article you would have noticed that it states very clearly in the lede that this show is the retitled version of Porus (TV series). It has no link to any other page on Wikipedia other than its parent network and original series. It is never going to establish notability in the future either because again, the series by itself does not exist. This article went unnoticed for over four months and a redirect can easily be removed later on and will only add to the unnecessary articles on Wikipedia. But anyway, my point of focus here is about the article in itself. Deletion or Redirection is secondary. Cheers! TheRedDomitor (talk) 02:18, 21 September 2020 (UTC)
- Obviously we shouldn't have two articles about the same series, I just figured that the title of this article would be a plausible search term (and hence a good redirect) precisely because it is a different title for the same show. TompaDompa (talk) 15:36, 21 September 2020 (UTC)
- I thought of that actually. But then I checked the page viewership stats for this page and it is not more than 350-400 viewers per month on an average as compared to the original which averages about 15,000 per month. And a web search for the title Sikander vs Porus provides the link directly for the original series article. TheRedDomitor (talk) 16:49, 21 September 2020 (UTC)

- Delete as per the reasons stated by the nom. As an Indian tv buff I can confirm that the series is a rerun of Porus. It is similar to the way shows in the US go into broadcast syndication once they have completed their run on the original network. Only here, the title has been slightly modified. Thus, No series No notability. Sunshine1191 (talk) 12:31, 21 September 2020 (UTC)
