Battle of Kolhapur

(Find sources:  Google ( books · news · scholar · free images · WP refs· FENS · JSTOR · TWL)

No sources in article, very very few hits on google scholar. I think this may be WP:citogenesis, so please ensure any sources you find pre-date 2006, the original publication date of this article. The battle itself may have happened (just not as "Battle of Kolhapur"), in which case we could write about it on Battles involving the Maratha Empire, provided, again, that we can find pre-2006 sources. asilvering ( talk) 18:16, 22 September 2023 (UTC) reply

Also check the sources that the editors will use in future. Because many sources used Wikipedia as a reference such as 'Maratha generals and their personalities'. Ajayraj890 ( talk) 18:24, 22 September 2023 (UTC) reply

  • Comment Sarkar, Jadunath (1920). Shivaji and his times. London ; New York : Longmans, Green. pp. 262–263. mentions fighting between Shivaji and the combined forces of Rustam Zaman and Fazl Khan near Panhala in late 1659 or early 1660, which is consistent with the article, although it does not corroborate the article's details regarding force compositions or tactics.
Sardesai Govind Sakharam (1946). New History Of The Marathas Vol-i 1600-1707 (1946). B. G. Dhawale, Bombay. p. 131. has similar details and gives the date (28 December 1659) that's in the article.

Page no 164 does not mention a battle at Kolhapur in 28th December 1629. It is removed now. Ajayraj890 ( talk) 05:10, 1 October 2023 (UTC) reply
@ Jfire, how this sources can be used? These sources doesn't provide enough context as it is shown in the article. The date is missing, the details of infobox is missing and what makes it more questionable is, the infobox had 'strength' parameter with some random numbers recently. From where did those information came? I don't think this article should be in mainspace since the details about this event is very less in reliable sources. Also I remind you that to not cite sources which was published after the creation of the article. Ajayraj890 ( talk) 05:17, 1 October 2023 (UTC) reply
Both of these sources are many decades before the creation of the article, but obviously they don't corroborate the details regarding force compositions or tactics. Unless there are reliable sources for those, I believe the best course of action is to merge and redirect to Shivaji#Siege of Panhala as suggested by User:Jeraxmoira.
