 * Keep – I've found some sources: see     . While none of them are too substantial individually, they can probably be combined per WP:BASIC to amount to sufficient coverage. Additionally, I don't doubt that more sourcing is out there: the many variants of his name make searching difficult, and offline sources likely contain far more information. (Nineteenth-century Mughal royalty is precisely the sort of topic to which WP:NEXIST should be applied.) But what we already have is sufficient to at least see the outlines of a man who played a noteworthy role in the demise of the Mughal Empire and the rise of English influence over the Indian subcontinent.

 * Keep but expand. This subject meets WP:GNG per the sources found by User:Extraordinary Writ showing that he has been attended the Royal Court with his brothers. Thanks for your nice works. VocalIndia (talk) 04:03, 9 August 2021 (UTC)
 * Comment. All of the sources above at most repeat (sometimes verbatim) the same paragraph-long anecdote about his European affectations and nothing more. If that is all the info we can find on him wouldn't it be better to put it in his father's or another article? The combined coverage exception in BASIC assumes multiple sources are providing different information that can be added up to SIGCOV, but here you could use only the Twilight of the Mughuls ref and lose zero coverage.
