The article centers around an event from ancient Indian history where it is claimed that a Gupta ruler killed another ruler. However, the sources provide scant information about this conflict, as evident upon reading the article. The background section has been fabricated with entirely different narratives. There are no further details provided about the ruler named "Nagadhatta," and it is worth considering the potential disorder in MILHIST-related articles if every minor conflict between two kings were to be given separate articles, especially when details are scarce. The article fails to meet the notability criteria outlined in Wikipedia's guidelines and lacks substantial reliable sources.Imperial ^[AFCND] 16:34, 15 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Delete, per nominator's arguments. Tehonk (talk) 20:02, 15 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Delete A fabrication easily seen as Nagadhatta is not an article, so writing about their death (which of course should be called Death of Nagadhatta instead rather than this overly provocative title) makes no sense when we know nothing of their life.
