Redirect to Khandesh?
editThe issue is not that the sources are poor or that the topic is not notable. There's already an article about the topic, albeit with traditional name. The north-west region in Maharashtra state in India is traditionally known as Khandesh and there is already a pretty good article on the topic. An administrative division covering the same general area is also named North Maharashtra, but this would mean a simple redirect from North Maharashtra to "Khandesh". (In recent years, the state government has named regions by their location, i.e. they started designating Khandesh as North Maharashtra administrative region.) Here the first line of research article states that "The North Maharashtra region comprises three districts, namely Jalgaon, Dhule, and Nandurbar". In pre-independence British-era, these three districts were part of the Khandesh district; this page states that "[Khandesh district] included the present-day Jalgaon, Dhule and Nandurbar districts...". Additional info here. Hope this answers the question about those regions being one and the same.
Additionally, this article was created by an incompetent but persistent sock and thus should be removed per WP:BMB anyway. I would say that some content be merged and finally redirect to Khandesh. If there are no objections to my comments, I'll redirect this page to Khandesh in about a month. Thanks. GreaterPonce665 (TALK) 23:40, 29 March 2021 (UTC)
