Devapāla's Campaigns against Pratiharas: Same content, fails WP:GNG , poorly found in reliable sources.  Part of Tripartite struggle , can be added to it.

Imperial [AFCND] 14:50, 6 May 2024 (UTC) [ reply ] Keep Not even a single thing here is copied from Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Pala invasion of Kannauj .  That article was about Dharmapal's invasion of Kannauj and this article is about Devapal's campaign against the Pratiharas, Plus this has nothing to do with the Tripartite Struggle and this definitely doesn't fail WP:GNG .  All of the sources cited here are completely reliable.  Based Kashmiri ( talk ) 15:00, 6 May 2024 (UTC) [ reply ] No results for "Devapāla's Campaigns against Pratiharas" in Google scholar, JSTOR [95] , and literally zero result from Google keyword searching.  Hardly found few sources (including what present in the article), that barely mentioned no more than two or three lines about the so called "Campaign".  And passes GNG?  See WP:SIGCOV .  Imperial [AFCND] 15:11, 6 May 2024 (UTC) [ reply ] This article is very notable and has been given significant coverage in reliable sources therefore it passes WP:GNG and WP:SIGCOV .  The Gurjara lords against whom Devapāla fought must have been the Pratīhāra rulers.  It is possible that Nagabhața II tried to assert his power after the death of Dharmapāla and if, as some scholars believe, he transferred his capital to Kanauj, he must have achieved some success.  But Devapāla soon re-established the Pala supremacy, and it was possibly after his (Devapāla's) successful campaign against the Pratihāras that he advanced to the Hūņa and Kamboja princi- palities.  Nāgabhața's son, Ramabhadra, probably also had his kingdom invaded by Devapāla.  The next Pratihāra king Bhoja also, in spite of his initial success, suffered reverses at the hands of Devapāla, and could not restore the fortunes of his family so long as the Pala emperor was alive.  Thus Devapāla successfully fought with three generations of Pratihāra rulers, and maintained the Pala supremacy in Northern India.

Industrial Insect (talk) 18:18, 6 May 2024 (UTC) [ reply ] Ignore WP:RS which has significant coverage about the topic of the article and just say "It is notable because I said so." , wow.  The article is notable for several reasons.  First, it has significant coverage from WP:RS .  Second, It passes WP:GNG and WP:SIGCOV .  I hope this helps clarify why the article meets the notability criteria.  Based Kashmiri ( talk ) 03:55, 7 May 2024 (UTC) [ reply ] Keep the article appears to be successfully meet the criteria set forth in Wikipedia's Notability guidelines and the issues raised in the nomination do not appear to be evident within the article itself.

Talk!  20:50, 13 May 2024 (UTC) [ reply ] Delete Two mundane keep votes so far, one from the creator and another from a very new user (?!).  For my money, I'd say to delete, as the sources presented in the article, and with my own lookups, led to nothing of substantial use that can justify a rigid keep.
