 Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus. Relisting comment: When commenting be pithy. Be concise. Cite policies or guidelines if possible. Confine your comments to what is germane to the discussion and be brief. Above all, be brief!
 * Comment - Probably should be Rao Siha (Rao Sheoji seems to be a different spelling variant, less used, of the same) - the found of Marwar State who would pass notability per my very brief BEFORE - so I disagree with the nom regarding ANYBIO. However given the article is nearly empty, lacking sources, there may be merit for TNT (e.g. perhaps a redirect to Jodhpur State). Icewhiz (talk) 13:08, 7 August 2019 (UTC)
 * REdirect for the moment to the list article which is at Jodhpur State, without prejudice to this being returned to being a full article if it can be expanded from this terse stub. Peterkingiron (talk) 15:39, 8 August 2019 (UTC)
 * Comment This discussion got me sidetracked into adding the rulers of Jodhpur State into existing articles like List of state leaders in 1801. My main take away from trying to do this is that such lists, at least pre-1900, are overly Euro-centric. I have dabbled in trying to add adequate coverage of rulers in Asia and Africa to these lists for over a decade, and I still feel like almost no progress has been made. A close look shows that I am almost the only editor who has made additions of new rulers to these lists during that time.John Pack Lambert (talk) 06:27, 9 August 2019 (UTC)
 * Comment an example of what we could have for the 18th-century is to be found with List of state leaders in 1759 although even that article is probably short of some potential inclusions. I know Wayne State University and probalby other univeristies have books that are a list of rulers in Africa, but sadly Wayne State wont let that book be checked out. One day if I have time I will go to Wayne State and try to include material from that book.John Pack Lambert (talk) 06:31, 9 August 2019 (UTC)

 * Redirect to Jodhpur State at this time. No prejudice to developing a more detailed article on the founder of Marwar State if more sources are found/developed. If that is done, the more common English transliteration appears to be Rao Siha, as noted above but a redirect from this alternative spelling is not unreasonable. 24.151.50.175 (talk) 14:54, 15 August 2019 (UTC)
 * Comment Walking through the line of "children" of the subject there are references to "Maheca Rathaurom ka mula itihasa: Ravala Mallinatha ke vamsaja - Maheca, Baramera, Pokarana, Kotariya aura Khavariya Rathaurom ka sodhapurna itihasa" by Dr. Hukam Singh Bhati. Publisher: Ratan Prakashan, Jodhpur (1990) translated as "Mula History of Mahesa Rathores: Descendants of Rawal Mallinatha - A research history of Mahesa, Barmer, Pokaran, Kotaria and Khawaria Rathors." --Enos733 (talk) 04:09, 20 August 2019 (UTC)
 * Delete - One sentence does not an article make WP:1 SENTENCE - no information, no references, doesn't even provide dates of his reign - cannot redirect to Jodhpur State because Rao Sheoji does not appear in that article - this article could be a WP:HOAX - unless, as pointed out above, Rao Sheoji is a variant spelling of Rao Siha, in which case this article should be deleted and a new redirect created from Rao Siha to Jodhpur State - as it stands, this article catastrophically fails WP:GNG which requires "significant coverage in reliable sources" - lacking that significant coverage the article cannot be left to stand and should be deleted - Epinoia (talk) 02:01, 22 August 2019 (UTC)
