Hindaun Fort

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

Non-notable ruin which might be a palace or a fort. Material is covered also at Hindaun, so WP:FORK applies. Article is not only uncited, but by my search, it's unciteable as there are basically no suitable sources to demonstrate notability. Redirect and PROD were removed by author, so here we are.

Therefore, what we require here (as in many places) is actual evidence of notability. The district Gazetteer is certainly a "directory" in the terms of WP:GEOFEAT and is therefore not evidence of notability. The other books could possibly be suitable but we require evidence of substantial entries (per WP:GNG as well as WP:GEOFEAT) to do this correctly. Chiswick Chap (talk) 15:15, 14 December 2017 (UTC)
 * Keep per WP:GEOFEAT. Clearly an historic building which would undoubtedly be heritage listed if it was in a Western country. -- Necrothesp (talk) 13:31, 13 December 2017 (UTC)
 * Keep, there are actually multiple references to Hindaun Fort in a number of books including Administrative System of the Rajputs (1979), The Second Anglo-Maratha War, 1802-1805: a Study in Military History (1990), New History of the Marathas: Sunset over Maharashtra (1772-1848) (1968), and Rajasthan [district Gazetteers].: Sawai Madhopur (1981) to name a few.

 * Guys, many thanks for the books, do you have actual quotations, page numbers or URLs to provide verifiable citations? Simply repeating "GEOFEAT" does not help much as the policy rightly says "Many artificial geographical features may be mentioned in plenty of reliable sources, but they may not necessarily be notable. The inclusion of a man-made geographical feature on maps or in directories is insufficient to establish topic notability"


 * Keep, Per Necro and Dan. --Molestash (talk) 13:18, 16 December 2017 (UTC)
