Battle of Sangamner

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

This article clearly fails WP:N which refers to the military conflict as the "Battle of Sangamner," seems more like a skirmish, sack or devastation (raid?). Found only two reliable sources which talks around this event but both contradict each other.


 * . Gives more insights and it has comprehensive coverage around this conflict and even cites Shivaji own letter describing this event as a Maratha victory:"We assembled the entire army and went in person with the army near Bijapur. Considering that the enemy was strong — and particularly the Pathan tribe is obstinate — [we thought that] such tactics should be adopted that he would become disappointed and defeated. Therefore, we decided upon imposing a pull [upon the enemy] by spreading the army in his territory. Accordingly we left Dilir Khan at a distance of three gaos, crossed the Bhima River and went on devastating the country right up to Jalnapur. We went to Jalnapur, made a halt for four days and plundered the market. A large wealth fell into [our] hands. Jalnapur is [at a distance of] four gaos from Aurangabad. Disregarding that the Prince was at that place [Aurangabad] [we] sacked the market. An immense wealth, besides gold, silver, elephants and horses was found [there].While we were marching on horseback towards the fort Pattagad with that [wealth] Ranmast Khan and Asaf Khan and Zabit Khan and five or seven such officers with eight or ten thousand troopers came in the way. We chastised them, captured horses and elephants and arrived at [fort] Patta. Then [we] sent the army again to wreak havoc in the [enemy] territory and sent Moropant, the prime minister, to capture the 27 forts of the Mughals that are in the province of Baglan and Khandesh and to capture territory and we [in person] halted at [fort] Patta."
 * On the other hand gives a different POV of this conflict King’s rearguard held theMughals for three days of hard fighting beforeMaratha commander Sidhoji Nimbalkar waseventually killed, along with about 2,000 of his men. The title is a fabricated one, which contradicts the criteria for creating an article about a military conflict. Note that most of the sources which mention this conflict as even a skirmish, falls under WP:RAJ. If it's notable enough then it could be merged into Deccan Wars or any other parent articles and moving/renaming the page to Battle of Jalna would be better but doesn't seem eligible for its own page with this title. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Sudsahab (talk • contribs) 12:10, 2 April 2024 (UTC)
