I checked it for reliable references and didn't found anything which can be called as reliable. The article has no WP:RS reference for many days. I don't think the article meets WP:GNG, apart from it most of the content of the article is from community based mirror sites like jatland wiki. Considering all this, I think this is the best step here. RS6784 (talk) 05:38, 16 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]

• Comment -- The fact that he has a statue in his native town suggests he is notable. The article alludes to a book (without naming it clearly). That might be a RS. The test is that articles must be verifiable, not that they are verified by citations. Articles without citations should be tagged for improvement, not deleted.

Peterkingiron, statues in India are also built for fake ( non-existent) figures. I couldn't find a single RS reference for this personality. The book named is from a mirror website related to a community. RS6784 (talk) 06:16, 20 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]

• Strong delete. Not only the article is not notable for wiki, there is a high chance that this historical personality probably didn't exist. There is hardly any mention of this person in any reliable historical sources. About statues, I agree with RS6784, the current statue politics of the country is such that there have been many small squares, roads are named after fake and made up character from history and so are the statues made, mostly it has to do with caste politics which is prevalent in India. The content is mostly copied from a website called Jatland.com see the same page in hindi language on Jatland[1], the website is notorious for creating and making fake history specially of Jat caste to which this blog cum website belongs. See Sitush's list of sources which are to be removed on sight,[2], jatland.com is listed on top. The book eluded in the article i.e. 'Rankesari Jujhar Singh' written by Kunwar Panne Singh is either a fake book or written for castecruft of which there is no shortage in india, but the not reliable that is for sure. The note at the end of the article that this story was told by Thakur Deshraj, Deshraj was another such fake history writer also from the same community i.e. Jat. He was never reliable to begin with.Sajaypal007 (talk) 10:16, 23 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]
• Delete I previously added the template to the article due to a lack of sources. Nothing seems to have changed in that time. The article has been up for far too long without a single reliable source.RuudVanClerk (talk) 18:30, 23 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]
