Rajput resistance to Muslim conquests

 * – ( View AfD View log | edits since nomination)

WP:CFORK of Muslim conquests in the Indian subcontinent, I'm unable to find any RS that describe "Rajput resistance to Muslim conquests" as a historical period in itself. Cited sources in the page do not appear to use this framing. Searching on Google Scholar for the page title, and also "Rajput resistance" "Muslim conquests" did not turn up anything useful. Searching Google Books turned up only a handful of results that weren't false positives, and none of them bode well for this topic: Serving Empire, Serving nation pg 185-190 discuss revisionist nationalist histories that attempt to construct a narrative of resistance to Muslim conquests through reinterpretation of folklore and historical events, but does not adopt or endorse this historiographic framing. Royal Umbrellas of Stone talks about Rajput resistance, but predominantly uses the term to discuss social movements and rebellions against established Mughal rule, not against the initial conquests. The only source that I can find that uncritically adopts the framing of "Rajput resistance to Muslim conquests" is...The Abortion Explosion: Woman Weapon of Mass Destruction #1, which appears to be a polemic against abortion and not a reliable source of any kind, let alone Indian history in particular. This could potentially be a redirect to Muslim conquests in the Indian subcontinent, but given that Rajput kingdoms also sometimes formed alliances with Muslim polities (see Rajput Mughal marriage alliances; n.b. this aspect is totally absent from the Rajput resistance article), deletion may also be appropriate. signed,Rosguill talk 19:58, 15 April 2024 (UTC)

 * Comment @Rosguill what is it you think this is a fork of? Mccapra (talk) 20:56, 15 April 2024 (UTC)
 * Per Special:Diff/1219105445, it's a fork of Muslim conquests in the Indian subcontinent. Also note that this article was created evading a salt on Rajput resistance, and this has also been deleted several times as Rajput resistance to Muslim invasions. I suspect that is a sock of the same master found in the deleted history there. * Pppery * it has begun...  21:19, 15 April 2024 (UTC)
 * Yes thank you, I deserve a trout for missing that error. signed,Rosguill talk 22:04, 15 April 2024 (UTC)
 * Delete and salt (again). This isn't just a content fork, it's an obvious POV-fork. No neutral article can possibly be made for this title. -- asilvering (talk) 05:40, 22 April 2024 (UTC)
 * Delete and salt. I agree it's a fork that was recreated by evading a previous salt. Aintabli (talk) 14:37, 22 April 2024 (UTC)
 * Delete per nom and WP:FORK. Everything is already included that is needed. Bearian (talk) 16:59, 22 April 2024 (UTC)
