Fails verification - no mention of "Skirmish of Chenab" in Singh or Gupta, the two main references. Singh does briefly mention an attack, but gives it no name and there is not enough here for WP:N. asilvering (talk) 02:11, 29 September 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Comment - Many incoming links through Battle of Chenab (1739) which may or may not be confusion with Battle of Chenab. ~Kvng (talk) 14:38, 2 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Looks like those are coming mostly from Template:Campaignbox Nader. -- asilvering (talk) 04:58, 3 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Keep - This obviously needs work and may be flat out wrong but I don't see a good case for WP:TNT so let's put some maintenance tags on it and keep it for now per WP:NOTCLEANUP and WP:NODEADLINES. ~Kvng (talk) 15:13, 21 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Can you find evidence that it is notable, and that it's called "skirmish of chenab"? -- asilvering (talk) 17:40, 21 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Merge/redirect to Nader Shah's invasion of India per nomination. And on reading Singh's (very brief) account of the event, it seems that characterizing it as a single skirmish, rather than the series of hit-and-run raids on the retreating Persians is rather misleading.

Merge An apparent historically unnamed event that should be merged into Nader Shah's invasion of India as an "Afterward'. GenQuest ^"scribble" 19:31, 21 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Merge/redirect I agree with Parsecboy and GenQuest. It seems to be worth a mention but without further verification, it doesn't make much of an article. If more sources can be found, it can be split back off in the future. Donner60 (talk) 23:08, 21 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Merge to Nader Shah's invasion of India per above. Bookworm857158367 (talk) 07:27, 27 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]
