Siege of Chittorgarh (1544)

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

The article lacks general notability, as there are no cited sources specifically mentioning the Siege of Chittorgarh (1544) or providing significant coverage of this conflict. Instead, it focuses more on unrelated events such as the other conquests of Sher Shah and the Battle of Harmoda (1557). While some sources briefly mention Sher Shah's attention towards Mewar in 1544, there is no substantial coverage of a proper siege of Chittorgarh in these sources.

 * Hello!
 * Here are a few sources mentioning the SIEGE OF CHITTOR 1544 A.D.
 * As the nominator mentioned:The sources regarding the title/heading of article will be:-
 * Quotation:-1544 A.D. by offering his nominal submission to Shershah the Maharana averted a siege of Chittor.pg.169
 * I hope nominator have examined the article thoroughly and than questioned about its context?
 * I have attached around 14 sources for the article completely dealing with the context of the article completely
 * For further assistance I am attaching a few more sources so that nominator can easily get the context.

 Pg.181  Pg.A53  Pg-529  Pg.76  This article neither contains any unreliable source nor dealing with any unrelated topics.Battle of Harmoda,As mentioned above is completely related to the topic.The commander Haji khan and Shams khan were left by Sher shah to face the Udai singh that must be mentioned and the aftermath should also being mentioned.

Relisting comment: Two dramatically different interpretations of this article, we need more participants here to come to a consensus. Please add new comments below this notice. Thanks, Liz Read! Talk! 04:56, 26 May 2024 (UTC)
 * You only cited this source after the AfD nomination which has again no significant coverage. How can you create an article which has only 2-3 lines of mentions?  Based.Kashmiri  (🗨️)  08:37, 21 May 2024 (UTC)
 * The source cited after the afd nomination clearly identifies the article by its given name, showing that it is not based on original research. Additionally, there are 14 more sources provided in the article that offer a comprehensive description of the topic. These sources thoroughly support each paragraph within the article, indicating that it is not lacking in citations or referencing. It is recommended that a thorough review of all the sources in the article be conducted before determining whether it should be nominated for deletion. It is important to ensure that all sources are properly cited and referenced before reaching a final decision. (tags: citation needed, unreliable sources)
 * Note:-Before making a decision on whether to nominate the article for deletion, it is imperative that the nominator conducts a thorough review of all the sources to ensure they are accurately cited. It is also recommended to address any citation deficiencies on the article's talk page before proceeding with any deletion nominations. Only after confirming that the sources are properly cited and referenced should a decision be made regarding the article's deletion.

 * Sounds like an AI generated reply. Anyways, the event is not significantly covered in the sources. This can be seen in The siege section, which starts with: When Sher Shah Suri was within a mere distance of 12 Kos from Chittor, Udai Singh II made the decision to surrender the fort without engaging in a direct confrontation. This is not what we call WP:SIGCOV. There's no significant engagement, so we can't carve out an article which only has 2-3 lines of non-engagement "Siege of Chittor". And I have checked and thoroughly reviewed the sources, out of 14 only 3 deals with this meagre siege and the rest focuses on other unrelated events. Based.Kashmiri  (🗨️)  17:00, 21 May 2024 (UTC)
 *  Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.


 * please note the struck sockpuppet comments above. This is probably a soft delete for lack of good-faith participation, but another 7 days won't hurt. Ivanvector (Talk/Edits) 15:21, 26 May 2024 (UTC)

 * Several other editors have made significant contributions to the article, including yourself. It is not eligible for WP:G5 speedy deletion. Ivanvector (Talk/Edits) 15:28, 26 May 2024 (UTC)

 * Delete. The sources are very poor in coverage. I could not find anything more indepth on "Siege of Chittorgarh" in sources on the page. A snippet used for siege segment says that "Suri after winning Jodhpur headed for Chittor and without any resistance Udai Singh chose to send the keys". This is not enough to warrant a full fledged article on the siege. This brief segment can be merged to List_of_battles_in_Rajasthan. RangersRus (talk) 12:17, 28 May 2024 (UTC)
