Churaman Ahir

A quick Google search doesn’t bring anything notable about this individual other than Wikipedia mirror pages. The only source itself is not very reliable either. Little evidence of this individual being notable or worthy of an article. RuudVanClerk (talk) 14:11, 28 April 2022 (UTC)

 * Comment: Nominator obviously didn't do WP:BEFORE. They clearly didn't conduct a search in the native language, provided by the corresponding article in Hindi Wikipedia, which also has a number of sources. Curbon7 (talk) 16:44, 28 April 2022 (UTC)
 * The “corresponding” article on Hindi Wikipedia is for a Churaman (commonly known as Churaman Jat) who is a separate individual entirely. Passive aggressive comment notwithstanding, a basic knowledge of Indian history would help in this situation. Nice try though. RuudVanClerk (talk) 17:04, 28 April 2022 (UTC)
 * This is the linked Hindi article, which is clearly about the same person. In fact the articles are so similar that one seems to be a translation of the other. Phil Bridger (talk) 08:16, 29 April 2022 (UTC)
 * This is another source which refers to the same person Lord 0f Avernus (talk) 09:39, 29 April 2022 (UTC)
 * Wikipedia is not a reliable source in any language. So unless someone can explain exactly why the sources found are reliable, just having a Wikipedia article in another language is not at all a sign of notability.John Pack Lambert (talk) 12:51, 29 April 2022 (UTC)


 * Comment: Not aware much about the topic but i have a fair idea that the nominator lacks the proper knowledge about WP:GNG. I am observing a number of articles where they have kept the notability tag, despite the fact that they are notable topic. May be this nomination is because of same issue.Heba Aisha (talk) 17:22, 29 April 2022 (UTC)
 * who is they here? There is a single person nominating here Lord 0f Avernus (talk) 17:40, 29 April 2022 (UTC)

 * Delete Per nomination but allow redirect to any suitable target, if found. Mehta (1984), cited in hi.wiki, is not a (HIST)RS. TrangaBellam (talk) 18:36, 29 April 2022 (UTC)
 * what about this source? Lord 0f Avernus (talk) 18:40, 29 April 2022 (UTC)
 *  Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.

 * Delete The subject of the article is mentioned in a few sources, though not usually as "Churaman Ahir", but given the shallowness of coverage and the borderline quality of sources, he doesn't meet WP:GNG or merit a stand-alone article. And the current title is not a suitable one for even creating a redirect.
 * And now for the longer explanation with example of typical coverage:
 * Mishra (2008) (not necessarily WP:RS/WP:HISTRS), says that "Rao Churaman who was of Ahir caste" was granted 22 villages near Kaimori (sp?) in Jabalpur district in 1722 for his services as a garrison leader to Narendrashah; Churaman established his son Hamirdev there; Churaman's influence extended up to Deori, Sagar until 1731, when Narendrashah snatched Deori back. That's the extent of coverage to which ~5 lines of the book are devoted in a para that begins with (rough translation) We also have knowledge of some ordinary dealings during Narendrashah's time.
 * The 1968 district-level gazetteer for Japalpur says under its entry for Kaimuri that the town was founded in the beginning of the 17th century by one Rao Churaman employed in the military service of Raja Narind Shah (1679-1727), the Gond Raja of Garha-Mandla. For the military service offered, the Raja granted to the Rao a jagir of 22 villages around Kaimuri and the Rao named the place after the neighbouring range of hills. No mention of Ahir Similar coverage, with no added depth, can be found in later editions.
 * As far as I could determine, wikipedia does not have coverage of the ruler who granted the land to Rao Churaman, or of Kaimori village/town. If an article on the latter is created, that can contain a one-line mention of, and a redirect from, Rao Churaman. Abecedare (talk) 02:13, 11 May 2022 (UTC)


 * Possible merge. "22 villages around Kaimuri and the Rao named the place after the neighbouring range of hills."  This range of hills is the Kaimur Range and it states clearly the range extends up to Katangi. <b style="background:#FAFAD2;color:#C08000">Spinning</b><b style="color:#4840A0">Spark</b> 15:56, 14 May 2022 (UTC)
