Battle of Kabul River

 * – ( View AfD View log | edits since nomination)

Contested PROD with neither an edit summary nor improvement:

There's already an article about (what appears to be) this subject at Battle of Nowshera; this one is almost completely unsourced and includes unrelated content without detailing a battle. No sources appear to describe any "Battle of Kabul River", so redirecting may not be appropriate. ComplexRational (talk) 14:23, 19 June 2022 (UTC)

 * If it really is the same Redirect/merge -- I assume that the article is supported by its one reference. If it is the same, this should not have been brought to AfD, but made a merge nomination.  Peterkingiron (talk) 15:38, 19 June 2022 (UTC)
 * I nominated here because I can't definitively say whether this is the same as Battle of Nowshera; a Google search turned up nothing for this article's title. If they are the same, I couldn't find any evidence that this is an alternative name for it, so even if it's redirected there could be an argument to delete at RfD. Of course, I'm open to being proven wrong. ComplexRational (talk) 17:02, 19 June 2022 (UTC)

 * DELETE. Unsourced and no mention of battle of Kabul river in any reliable citation after search.MehmoodS (talk) 19:45, 22 June 2022 (UTC)
 * Delete per WP:Hoax. The book Empire of the Sikhs: The Life and Times of Maharaja Ranjit Singh which is supposed to verify this article does not mention the Kabul River or the Battle of Kabul River anywhere in its text. No other sources mention it either that I can find.4meter4 (talk) 03:47, 28 June 2022 (UTC)
