 * Comment We generally have articles on kings. There might be a little information here (1) if you search for "1833". Ficaia (talk) 08:05, 13 March 2022 (UTC)
 * Reply: But I don't think it gives significant coverage about him. IconEditorMaster (talk) 08:51, 13 March 2022 (UTC)


 * Keep There are quite a lot of sources about him, particularly given his short lifespan. Also, as the head of a sovereign state, he is presumptively notable under WP:POLITICIAN. Some sources (there are plenty more but those are just the most prominent):
 * Hira Lal Gupta, "INDORE SUCCESSIONS, 1833-34 & 1843", Proceedings of the Indian History Congress Vol. 18 (1955), pp. 243-251
 * Second Letter to the Right Honourable Sir John Hobhouse, Bart., M.P. Conveying the Opinions of Lord Amherst, Lord W. Bentinck, Lord ::Auckland, and Lord Metcalfe, on the Right of Princes and Chiefs of India to ::Adopt Successors. London: G. Norman, 1850

 * KEEP per Atchom. Thanks for finding sources. Ruler of a kingdom is auto notable on Wikipedia as passes WP:NPOL. VocalIndia (talk) 17:33, 14 March 2022 (UTC)
 * Keep: We are required to keep an article where the subject has inherent notability whether or not there are references that verify that. Referencing would help but WP:AFD is not WP:CLEANUP. Maharajas of that era are inherently notable Fiddle Timtrent  Faddle Talk to me 21:42, 14 March 2022 (UTC)
 * Keep The discussion above seems to ensure that the subject meets WP:N.  ❯❯❯ Pra vega g=9.8 15:01, 15 March 2022 (UTC)
