Talk:Northern Campaign of Raghunath Rao

Infobox "Result"
Please note that Template:Infobox military conflict states against "result" that "this parameter may use one of two standard terms: "X victory" or "Inconclusive"." The infobox has been amended to reflect this. Please read the template "result" guidance in full before amending or reverting. It would probably be best to discuss any proposed change here first to seek consensus. Thanks. Gog the Mild (talk) 18:41, 14 October 2023 (UTC)

Intro is not accurate
The intro mentions Panipat but it's not in line with Raghunathrao's campaign because he wasn't present at the Battle of Panipat in 1761. Also, Marathas again engaged with Afghans due to this Panipat scene in Capture of Delhi 1771 who participated from Rohilla side so we can also add that if we're to include whole Maratha-Afghan Campaigns because 1771-72 is where it ends.

Lacks Notability?
@PadFoot2008 The article clearly holds notability per these sources: There are more sources which explicitly talk around this event, you should have gone through these existing cited sources before merging this into Afghan-Maratha Wars. I don't see any problem with this article's existence it looks like you are currently pushing your pov here. Although I'd suggest renaming this article to the Maratha invasion of Punjab or Maratha conquest of Punjab but sources also refer to it as North Indian campaign of Raghunathrao so I don't have any problem with it either.

 * p-98 The Marathas launched repeated expeditions both in north and south India to fill their coffers. On 29 November 1756, Raghoba and Malhar Rao with 60,000 troops left Pune for another campaign against north India. In May 1757, Raghoba detached 20,000 soldiers under Sakharam Bapu and Vithal Sahadev for maintaining Maratha dominance in north India. Raghoba's Punjab campaign during 1757-58 resulted in a deficit of Rs 80 lakhs.
 * p-226-234 The Peshwa had received timely information about the fourth invasion of Ahmad Shah Abdali and despatched an adequate Maratha force to Delhi to confront the invader. It was commanded by Raghunath Rao. The much-awaited Maratha army, commanded by Raghunath Rao, reached Agra in May 1757. It was Raghunath's second expedition to the north in his capacity as the commander-in-chief
 * p-564 The Maratha occupation of the Panjab in 1758 and the expulsion of his son Timur who had been left behind as viceroy, led to the Panipat campaign. The Marathas rapidly evacuated the province before the Afghan advance and fell back on Delhi, closely pursued by the Abdali's forces.


 * Pinging @AirshipJungleman29 to help us reach out a consensus Sudsahab (talk) 16:48, 28 April 2024 (UTC)
 * I see you don't understand WP:NOTABILITY. See the specific section WP:PAGEDECIDE. This article covers a portion of the Afghan-Maratha War which is not substantial enough to exist on its own or have its own standalone article. Besides this article makes it as it was a standalone event, when it was just the initial part of a war that the Marathas lost. Besides this article was created without consensus by a banned user Thewikiuser1999. Edit warring is not going to help you. PadFoot2008  16:49, 28 April 2024 (UTC)
 * Pictogram voting comment.png 3O Response: (responding to ping) PadFoot2008 is to my eyes correct: I cannot find any sources which explicitly distinguish this campaign from the wider war and give it significant coverage. Incidentally, it seems that Thewikiuser1999 and Sudsahab are one and the same. &#126;~ AirshipJungleman29 (talk) 17:03, 28 April 2024 (UTC)
