The vast majority of this article seem to be sourced entirely on legend. Once you remove it [the legend] and boil the text down to only the relevant facts, you get that the article is practically devoid of content.

• Delete: Fails GNG. Sources in article and found in BEFORE are mentions of a name, or sparse details, nothing that meets WP:IS WP:RS with WP:SIGCOV addressing the subject directly and indepth. The article definitely has content issues but the lack of indepth WP:SIGCOV from WP:RS make this a delete.  // Timothy :: talk  18:29, 23 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]
• Keep: The article is not merely based on legend; rather, it presents historical facts detailing the history of a Taluqdari estate—an important estate in Oudh. The estate have been extensively covered in historical records found in various books by prominent historians. Moreover, the topic is was covered in British government records and books and by their writers. I have cited the relevant online books I could find. The topic meets the criteria of notability. Therefore, I vote to keep the page. — Preceding unsigned comment added by DrhSR (talk • contribs) 14:17, 25 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]

  Yes, but these records/historical books merely seem to contain retellings of some story that was told to their author. A good indicator of this is that most of the sources do not give years—let alone dates, for the events that they describe.

• Keep: seems to meet WP:NPLACE based on existing sources. Unverifiable content, if any, can be cleaned up. Owen× ☎ 14:37, 26 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]
• Delete, for the same reasons as the nominator and Timothy. There is a village called Sarosi in Unnao district that would pass WP:NGEO, and that village has a history which some of these sources would support. However the sources that contain significant coverage of this estate start with "according to their tradition ...", and "the story of ... is thus told", which does not suggest that the associated accounts are reliable.

• Keep: The place is historically significant, dating back to Humayun's reign. It offers a unique historical narrative. Retaining this article on Wikipedia preserves a rich tapestry of Parihar zamindars' struggles and transitions, making it a valuable contribution to the platform. — Preceding unsigned comment added by SmtrSR (talk • contribs) 09:00, 8 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]

• Delete per nom does not meet GNG.It is based on a legend which is not RS.Tame Rhino (talk) 00:59, 11 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]
• Delete: After the legend is removed, the article is basically devoid of content, and especially, secondary sources to back it. HarukaAmaranth ^春_香 04:03, 14 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]
