Deleted before at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Siege of Kapisa, there are still no reliable sources saying that there was a siege at Kapisa. Even if there was a battle and capture, there doesn't seem to have been a siege - and any battle or capture should be in Ancient Kapisa although this shouldn't be a redirect as without any suggestion of a siege no one is likely to use this to search. Reading the AfD, even User:Ariobarza seems to admit there are no sources calling it a siege. The Behistun inscription doesn't use the word siege - Full translation of the Behistun Inscription The source in Greek in this article was also used in the original article. The other sources (except for one used to locate the modern city) are:
[1] Then, in some way he managed to capture it. [2] In vengeance for the ruthless resistance (which in that area was common at the time) he destroyed it, or perhaps might have burned it first. [3] But the greatly preserved ruins are still seen today. Doug Weller ( talk) 11:35, 11 September 2015 (UTC)
I agree it was never called a siege, and perhaps all that is needed is a name change. Then again darius says in the Behistun Inscriptions : I captured the city. (Something like that). That seems to be pointing to a siege. Then again there are no sources so that theory is out. Maybe it should be called the capture of Kapisa? Or the destruction of kapisa though capture seems more neutral.
And you are right there are no scholars sources...yet. though I want to say scholars can forget things especially small things lIke some siege at some unimportant place barely mentioned by Pliny the Elder, wiki policy says must be scholars soures and since there are non let's not waste time, just delete thid article already!!
