The article attempts to present very different and completely unrelated conflicts as a single conflict. The article is a clear case of WP:SYNTH. The sack of Surat in 1664 which the article presents as the beginning of the conflict was carried out by Shivaji prior to his coronation. This conflict is then connected by the article to the raids by the Dhabade Maratha clan which has no connection to Shivaji's raid. This is then listed with the Peshwa-Gaekwad conquest of the region which again has nothing to do with the beforementioned conflicts. No WP:RS has been provided that treats these separate conflicts as a singular one. PadFoot (talk) 11:33, 26 September 2024 (UTC)

- Delete reminds me of a similar case on Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Mewar–Delhi Sultanate Wars. Basically the two articles presented the same issue where users compiled a bunch of unrelated conflicts into one single war. Article should be deleted per WP:SYNTH.

- Speedy delete: Only substantial edits are by two socks of the same sockmaster. Agree with nominator's original reasoning as well. Flemmish Nietzsche (talk) 21:16, 27 September 2024 (UTC)
- Some socks editing is not a reason for delete. That is ad hominem argument, wikipedia has a policy against it as well if not a rule. Crashed greek (talk) 04:26, 1 October 2024 (UTC)
- G5 applies. If the only substantial edits are by blocked sockpuppets the article is eligible for speedy deletion under that criterion. Flemmish Nietzsche (talk) 11:41, 1 October 2024 (UTC)

- Keep - Maratha empire is a very impactful rule in India. And their expansion into Gujarat helped consolidate their power, and also helped expansion all the way up to Peshawar later. Crashed greek (talk) 04:25, 1 October 2024 (UTC)
