 * Symbol voting keep.svg Article is new enough, long enough, no copyvios, hook is amusing but needs a bit of copyedit. Suggest:
 * ALT1 ... that Mughal emperor Humayun died by falling down from the stairs of his library, Sher Mandal? Ritchie333 (talk) (cont)  21:12, 1 May 2019 (UTC)
 * There are historical inaccuracies (along with a not-so-well-written architecture section).
 * Expanding upon the first, there are prominent dissenting voices among historians who reject that Humayun died after falling down from this very building. Apart from that, most agree that Sher Shah Suri near-certainly did not construct it and all that....
 * This is a good topic and upon which, hundreds of pages have been written. But, I need to do more work to make it accurate. &#x222F; WBG converse 11:20, 3 May 2019 (UTC)
 * You are free to add references which disputes these claims. But the current information in this article is cited from sources which say so. RRD (talk) 08:01, 5 May 2019 (UTC)
 * , one of the sources you inserted and then, extensively borrowed from (Ram Nath) explicitly rejects that Sher Shah constructed it:-( We need to be careful about evaluation of all scholarly sources. &#x222F; WBG converse 08:05, 5 May 2019 (UTC)
