Mahishmati-Kalkeya War[edit]

Delete. Completely unsourced article about a war. This is claimed here only as a plot point in a fiction film, and the film's article does little to help clarify whether it's a fictionalized account of a real-life event or a wholly fictional invention of the screenwriters. If it is real, then what's needed here is reliable source coverage about the war to properly verify that it's real -- and if it's pure fiction, then there's no compelling need for a standalone article about it separate from its parent film.

Delete. I can't find anything indicating this was a real war. Clarityfiend (talk) 09:43, 4 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Delete According to Mahishmati, the kingdom was a real ancient kingdom of India and has a source that says the movie is about "a fictional kingdom that shares the same name as the ancient Mahishmati kingdom." Therefore the war depicted in the movie would be fictional as well. MB 03:24, 9 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]
