• Delete with no sources how can anyone prove this is not a hoax?John Pack Lambert (talk) 12:41, 6 April 2021 (UTC)[reply]
• Strong Keep Hindi Wikipedia article shown that the King is real ruler not a WP:HOAX. I agree that the article needs a rewrite, but I've found enough sourcing to believe this King is strong notable see Thousands of people gathered at the procession to celebrate the birth anniversary of Maharaja Khet Singh Khangar in Banda, [1], [2], [3].

• Redirect to Khangar (community). It's a local folk tradition and the original article should be expanded, and corrected, before the creation of a new page, especially one this poor. DrKay (talk) 10:06, 8 April 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Yes... agree! This article needs attentions from someone who has full knowledge on Gujarat history. VocalIndia (talk) 12:11, 8 April 2021 (UTC)[reply]

• Draftify: Did a WP:Before and lot of images and videos from youtube regarding the subject showed up along with some sources (mostly unreliable). This could be developed into a better article by someone who actually have an idea about Gujarat history. Chances are there for the availability of both online and offline sources in the local language or Hindi. And the sources provided by VocalIndia indicates that the subject was one of a historical figure. So deleting it without giving an option to remodify would be unfair.

• Draftify pointing the author to guidelines as to how to write a WP article (for example omitting ! marks). The article makes a lot of extravagant claims, which makes me think there is a Hindutva bias in the article. If kept it needs to be heavily tagged for Verification and proper sourcing. Some of the text appears to be in untranslated Hindi, which will not do. Peterkingiron (talk) 20:10, 8 April 2021 (UTC)[reply]

• Comment I have cleaned and added some sources for information to the article. Its still a work in progress but it can be improved. I think there is sufficient evidence that he meets WP:GNG and and deserves to be kept. VocalIndia (talk) 17:45, 10 April 2021 (UTC)[reply]
  • VocalIndia, I appreciate your great effort! But I think this must be presently moved into draftspace so that you or other interested users can work on this article by taking enough time. Regards Kichu🐘 ^{Need any help?} 03:55, 11 April 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Kashmorwiki You're also an Indian editor, I see you are one of the best edtors from India, why not make the article better? VocalIndia (talk) 04:26, 11 April 2021 (UTC)[reply]

VocalIndia, you mentioned that its still a work in progress. Right? Thats the reason why we have an option to move such articles into draftspace. It is hard to find sources about the subject in this case. It might be available in other local languages. So an expert editor who is interested in this field is needed here. Thats why I said to draftify this article. And by the way, thankyou for your appreciation:) Kichu🐘 ^{Need any help?} 06:44, 11 April 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Current version is enough for Wikipedia's article standard ! VocalIndia (talk) 17:40, 19 April 2021 (UTC)[reply]

• Weak Keep or Draftify as requested. I'm not convinced by the available sources and my BEFORE didn't help. But the subject seems notable per how I see few Google search results. Perhaps someone with an interest in Gujarat history can help. Gazal world, Ideas? ─ The Aafī ^(talk) 23:47, 22 April 2021 (UTC)[reply]
• Draftify As per suggested by all above and let it vet through AFC. DmitriRomanovJr (talk) 10:36, 23 April 2021 (UTC)[reply]
• Draftify: agree with others. Maybe someone can translate the Hindi article into English. defcon5 (talk) 15:12, 23 April 2021 (UTC)[reply]
• Keep As the King of a state, he is notable enough to have his own article. Current version is look notable to me. 185.205.142.76 (talk) 07:25, 30 April 2021 (UTC)[reply]
