Delete and send to hoax museum - this article was created in July 2005, making it one of the longest-living hoaxes if confirmed as a hoax. wizzito &#124; say hello!  15:18, 23 August 2021 (UTC)  Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus. Relisting comment: I'd like to see some more discussion before confirming as a hoax...

 * Comment – This is certainly not a hoax and seems like the nominator did not bother to do even a simple search at Google Books. The subject was an 18th-century ruler of Gohad and there are plenty of sources to verify that fact, e.g. see here. Note that he belonged to a ruling dynasty which used the title Rana and his name is either mentioned in sources as 'Rana Bhim Singh' or 'Bhim Singh Rana'. Here are a couple of quotes from an academic source about how he lost and subsequently regained his territory:

 * Thanks . Good work. I agree that the subject is not a hoax. "Rana Bhim Singh" (which currently redirects to Bhim Singh of Mewar) is the actual name of the subject, and much more notable than "Bhim Singh Rana" which could not provide me any sources on Google books that are pre-21st century. I have just found a lot more detailed source for this ruler. I withdraw this AfD and support moving article to Rana Bhim Singh". I encourage and  to support keeping and moving this article.
