Fails WP:GNG. Sources are unreliable because of WP:CIRCULAR, WP:SPS, British Raj and a bunch of other things. I tried a redirect but the creator told me that was an incorrect target because they're unrelated. Sitush (talk) 20:29, 29 July 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Delete Unreferenced with no assertion of notability. Fails on every level. I tried a PROD to allow the creating editor some wiggle room. They avoided that wiggle room and contested the PROD. Fiddle Faddle 21:09, 29 July 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Comment after much to-ing and fro-ing with unreliable English-language sources which in any case did not support the statements made, the creator has now dumped a mass of obscure non-English sources, produced by mostly obscure publishers, in the article but (a) it still appears to be synthesis/a house of cards; (b) it still makes no mention of the Chaudharies referred to in the title; (c) we still have no idea where Ambota is/was; (d) our article for Bathinda makes no mention of them or of the alleged earlier name of Vitheda for the place; (e) the new sources seem mostly to be relying on ancient writings of people such as Nainsi and usually those writings are criticised by modern academics. I can probably pick more holes in it.
I'm tempted to suggest this is a hoax because I can find absolutely nothing to support the existence of these people, let alone their notability. - Sitush (talk) 04:37, 4 August 2020 (UTC)[reply]
