Copied from Kiladar, soon to be deleted article[edit]

Kiladar(Kila is a Hindi word for fort^[1], -Dar is a suffix that signifies a job, hence kiladar means custodian of a fort^[2]) was a title for the governor of a fort or large town in medieval India.^[3] The office had the same function as Castellan.^[4] From Aryan times the title was given to the military minister of a large town and the surrounding area.^[5]

Actually I think it will be a snowball keep. Rather than copying, once the AfD is completed, I think a redirect to whichever is the more common or widely-known or historically significant would be best.- Sinneed 21:18, 13 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]
