Article is new, long enough and neutral. It is sourced with inline citations. "Earwig's Copyvio Detector" reports no significant text similarities. The hook is well-formatted, neutral and interesting. Its length is within limit. Its fact is cited inline. QPQ was done. Good to go. CeeGee 12:15, 16 September 2020 (UTC)

Hook was pulled from Queue. Vincent^LUFan (talk) (Kenton!) 11:05, 21 September 2020 (UTC)

Based on one of the sources, Gatoclass has raised an objection on word "won" rightly stating that some of the battles were indecisive. I am removing the word "won" from hook, rest remains the same. I hope that is good enough.

..also removed honorific from hook. GD (talk) 18:08, 24 September 2020 (UTC)
- I would be glad to review the alt to get this nomination moving, but the lead still says that "he fought and won multiple battles against the British". SL93 (talk) 22:38, 24 September 2020 (UTC)
  - Check now please. GD (talk) 11:15, 25 September 2020 (UTC)
    - I checked it again and it still said that, so I removed "and won" from the lead. This is ready. SL93 (talk) 16:24, 25 September 2020 (UTC)
      - I noticed some things after a double check. The article does say "The Gonds won this battle" and "Shedmake's troops won both of these battles". I also see that the unreliable source is still being used. It was also raised on the RSN noticeboard that this reference appears to be unreliable. SL93 (talk) 17:54, 25 September 2020 (UTC)

@CeeGee, Gatoclass, and SL93: It appears that the nominator hasn't edited since September 25th. Narutolovehinata5 ^tccsdnew 02:45, 21 October 2020 (UTC)
- Tagging for closure. The editor hasn't been online and the article uses two unreliable sources extensively still. SL93 (talk) 02:57, 21 October 2020 (UTC)

I've left the nom a talk page message, maybe we can wait a few more days before closing this. Narutolovehinata5 ^tccsdnew 03:05, 21 October 2020 (UTC)
