Rajput resistance to British conquests

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

This largely-unsourced article is OR/synthesis. Some people who resisted British expansion in India happened to belong to the Rajput caste. This article contains a section each on these people (who are disconnected in time, geography and objectives), bundling their deeds under the term "Rajput resistance to British conquests". In absence of any reliable sources that mention this term, this is like creating an article titled Sagittarius resistance to Nazism, piecing together content from Anton Ackermann, Bernhard Bästlein, and Eugen Bolz, because all these people happened to be born between 22 November and 21 December.

Proposed deletion was contested with the rationale that "there's an immense literature" on this topic. However, I couldn't find any sources that support the content of this article while describing the resistance as "Rajput resistance". utcursch &#124; talk 16:56, 7 February 2018 (UTC)

 * Delete - it is a Rajput WP:COATRACK. We're getting better at fixing caste glorification articles but in this case the nominator is correct. There really isn't anything to fix because it should not exist for the reasons stated by utcursch. - Sitush (talk) 17:02, 7 February 2018 (UTC)

 * Speedy Delete While the article is presenting many historical facts the absence of references is an issue. This looks like original research and should be considered for speedy deletion under A7 & A11. --  Hagennos  ❯❯❯  Talk  05:47, 9 February 2018 (UTC)
