Sorry. As long as no historians called it 'Battle of Khetri', we can't name that. You can add this context as a part of a large campaign or war. Thats why I recommended adding to Ghaznavid campaigns in India. Imperial[AFCND]04:08, 11 December 2023 (UTC)Reply
The battle was fought in Khetri and hence it iis battle of khetri, You cant delete the entire article on this basis, furthermore, all the sources used are reliable. Magadhan3933 (talk) 04:40, 11 December 2023 (UTC)Reply
That is not possible. Read the discussion from the above link where a reviewer explains about it. We can't invent names like 'Battle of X' in articles. Btw, did you create the article? Imperial[AFCND]04:54, 11 December 2023 (UTC)Reply
Battle of khetri literally makes sense considering the battle was fought in khetri, but Ok, how about the title "Battle In khetri" since the battle took place in Khetri, this is appropriate. Magadhan3933 (talk) 05:00, 11 December 2023 (UTC)Reply
Sources do say that the battle took place in khetrii, Vavvera.
"Vigraharaja IV’s first war against the Muslims appears to "have been fought in self-defence. Advancing as far as Vavvera,®^ now a small village about six miles from Khetri in the Jaipur 'division of Rajasthan, the Hammira invited Vigraharaja to submit to his authority. Vigraharaja’s Chief Minister, Srldhara, seems to have been for buying off the invader. Vigraharaja, however, regarded such a course as disgraceful. He had decided to protect his friends; and he was determined also to protect Brahmanas, sacred places, and temples.®" Though the Lalitavigraharaja, our only :source of information regarding this Muslim invasion, breaks off at this point, it is reasonable to conclude that in the ensuing battle, the Hammira was beaten and forced to retire to his own dominions." [1]
Also the contemporary Inscriptiions and muslimm accounts state the same.
"Vavverű with Rüpnagar in Kishangarh, Rajasthan, but on very insufficient grounds. Actually it is, as pointed out in the text, now a small village a few miles from Khetri. The Gauda Brähamans of this place are found all over Räjpūtānā and are known as Babberväls. 32. Rāva-ākīrtiḥ kapyucchaiḥ sahadayādan brahṛti- tath vancharatidvirtha nasumansaṃ diriyadigamḥ. Manaiteshu vyasthedhvapi mrramasya pu sakala- nimanangikatuh kathayat diveyam kimsubhih.” (Lalitesigrkarāja-nataka)
In V. 1217 according to Jinapala's Kharataragachchhapaffäreli and in V. 1232 according to the Upakesagachchhaprabandha as well as the colophon Of a Ms. of Anekarthasarigraha of Hemachandra, copied out in V. 1232. (of the authorities the first two are still unpublished. For a notice of the last see the Jainapustakaprašasti sangreha, Singhi Jaina Granthamälä. p. 10).
The other contemporary Ghaznavite ruler was Khusrau Malik (1160-1186 A.D.). As the first Muslim invasion in Vigraharaja's reign was perhaps not long after his accezion, Khusrau Shah, who ruled up to V. 1217, may have been the Hemmira who reached Vavverå. Khusrau Malik, a "mild and voluptuous prince to whom authority was irksome" is not very likely to have undertaken an arduous campagin into the sandy tract of Rajasthan.[1]
What do you mean? Elaborate it so I can understand, kindly read WP: TALKFIRST and I am pinging the creator of this article to discuss further @Gspgoat though I have provided the source which may clear the confusion so can you move it again to the main namespace? Magadhan3933 (talk) 19:12, 11 December 2023 (UTC)Reply
Absolutely not. You can't invent names for battles, and thats what the creator did. The rules of wikipedia is same for everyone. Learn about AFC submission. Imperial[AFCND]00:35, 12 December 2023 (UTC)Reply
Thank you for letting me know I was having my doubts regarding the name of the article, but now I have renamed it as historian dashrath sharma calls the event in his book early chauhan dynasty Gspgoat(talk)07:05, 12 December 2023 (UTC)Reply
As far as I know no one has invented or named the article on his own and If the article was such then AFC had already been rejected (like it was declined in your case by User:Aslivering before the article was created). User:Gspgoat & User:Ranadhira You should look into this since both of you are inclined towards Rajput history. Magadhan3933 (talk) 07:14, 12 December 2023 (UTC)Reply
I think user @Magadhan3933 is right, if the event did happen you cannot remove the article without any prior discussion but you should rename it as the source mentions. The same thing was stated by asilvering in the discussion you pinged earlier as "This one does at least look like it did happen, so rather than deletion, the thing for you to do here is to write what you can verify from the source, and remove the stuff that isn't in that source. Use "not in source" or "no source" in your edit summary when you remove text so people know why you're doing so."
You should move it into draftspace till it gets reviewed. The name is still however not appropriate. And I didn't delete the article. I moved it from mainspace as I had similar experience earlier. However, I am leaving this to @Asilvering. Btw, you can add this into the Ghaznavid campaings in India. Imperial[AFCND]07:14, 12 December 2023 (UTC)Reply
Thank you for youre clarification and I do appreciate the suggestion of adding it in the Ghaznavid campaigns in India and I will add the information there too but right now I am very busy outside wikipedia. And I do have extended confirmed rights on wikipedia so I can directly create articles in the mainspace, but still the articles can be rewied in the mainspace too.
