Old Kingdom of Bargujars

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

Text seems to be copy-pasted from various different places, none of which mention the article subject. But what is interesting is, that Google Books returns zero hits on "Kingdom of Bargujars" or "Kingdom of Badgujar". I'd be happy to hear if anyone can find befitting sources.

 * Comment: From what I can see, this is a fairly poorly written article on the Bargujar clan, which already has a Wikipedia article. I can find mention of the clan in various places, so the clan itself doesn't seem to be a hoax from what I can see. This article is pretty much a content fork detailing where this clan has lived or been in their day. I don't see where the term "kingdom" has really been used in relation to the Bargujar clan, though, but the sources do somewhat assert that they've lived in at least some of these places. The lack of use of the term is likely because while clans have rulers or leaders and clans will have lands, that doesn't automatically mean that they used the terms "king" or "kingdom".

 * Basically I think that this should have some selective merging into the pre-existing article, but there's no reason for this to have a separate article at this point in time. I do get the impression that there may be more coverage out there, but it will most likely not be in English and/or will not come up with the conventional English search engines.

 * Delete: Ditto to Tokyogirl79 in that the pieces of valuable information can be merged into the near-stub Bargujar article. The sources seem to be generally unreliable anyway, and the creator of the page seems to have used similar content on Raghav (surname). The one that forgot (talk) 07:50, 27 November 2014 (UTC)

 * Comment Per this somewhat wordy thread, I am doing some offline searching. I would point out, however, that not one of the links presented above by is a reliable source. The most we can say based on them is "a group of people exist who self-identify as being members of a clan called Bargujar". - Sitush (talk) 11:19, 27 November 2014 (UTC)
