Rajputra

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

Ongoing effective edit war between a longstanding redirect and a one-line WP:DICTDEF. The new short article was PROD'd and then de-PROD'd as not uncontroversial with AfD suggested. Attempts to return to the original redirect have been reverted with reference to User_talk:Bishonen. One editor has been topic-banned. Rajaputra may also be relevant.

 * Delete, the topic is not Notable to have a seperate article and it was basically created as a redirect for caste promotion. It was a term used for princes in ancient India and as per WP:NOTDICTIONARY, it should be deleted.-Admantine123 (talk) 18:00, 26 June 2023 (UTC)
 *  Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.


 * Redirect as before. Wikipedia is not a dictionary per above, the definition entry is more appropriate for Wiktionary. - Indefensible (talk) 15:17, 3 July 2023 (UTC)
 * Redirect back to Rajput as was the case for over 15 years and where the term is already mentioned (so could even have a specific redirect to Rajput). I see no reason why this needs to be a stand-alone article and agree with other editors' concerns around WP:NOTDICT. Bungle (talk • contribs) 17:05, 3 July 2023 (UTC)
 * Restore redirect per above. (I have a slight preference for redirect to Rajput as a whole, as the lead has sufficient information to help the reader IMO, but no strong opinion.) Even the reader who is looking for a definition is going to be better served by that article. -- Visviva (talk) 19:59, 4 July 2023 (UTC)
