Created by a since blocked user, the page lacks sources and the claim that he "played a key logistical role" is contradicted in that the larger Battle of Talikota page does not mention him. mikeman67 (talk) 21:30, 4 June 2015 (UTC) Weak delete: while cited, the cite is questionable (textbooks are often just blatantly factually incorrect) and does not seem notable.

 * Withdrawn by nominator - based on sources introduced by PWilkinson, he appears to meet the notability guidelines. Thank you for finding those and my mistake for the nomination. mikeman67 (talk) 16:31, 10 June 2015 (UTC)

 * Keep. Whatever the status of the creator of the article and however poor the article itself, just a little WP:BEFORE would have quickly established that the subject was the ruler of a sovereign state, the Bidar Sultanate, for nearly forty years (from about 1542 to about 1579, apparently with one or two short interruptions) and thus, by any reasonable interpretation, meets WP:POLITICIAN. For sources, try this, this, this and this. PWilkinson (talk) 00:16, 10 June 2015 (UTC)
 * Keep. Yes, seems to qualify as ruler of a sovereign state. -- Necrothesp (talk) 13:00, 10 June 2015 (UTC)
