I'm not exactly sure what this is meant to be, it's so nonsensical. There may be some factual history buried in it, but if so it's totally obscured. TPK 14:14, 1 Aug 2004 (UTC)
- Delete unless an Indian/Pakhistani contributor can improve it. This is about a sultanate, a religious/political district that no longer exists in that form. It's a valid topic, I think, but not like this. We'd need a fluent English speaker with knowledge both of that area, area of history, and NPOV encyclopedic content. I feel that delete is best because I despair of finding such a person on Clean Up. Geogre 16:48, 1 Aug 2004 (UTC)
- This has to be a copyvio, with that attribution at the bottom: Site Developed & maintained by: Syed Fahad Bukhari, but I can't find where. RickK 20:04, Aug 1, 2004 (UTC)
- I agree with RickK. This is a probable copyvio. -- Cyrius|✎ 22:03, 1 Aug 2004 (UTC)
- Delete. No context; shameless cut-and-paste job. --Benc 04:20, 2 Aug 2004 (UTC)
- No vote, just a comment. This appears to be a present-day city as well [1]. Google, however, finds only 20 hits. Andris 10:11, Aug 2, 2004 (UTC)
- Though POV, this looks like a potentially good article on a real city, if it's not a copyvio. Let's try emailing the guy at the bottom before deciding to delete it. Keep, for the moment. - Mustafaa 03:06, 3 Aug 2004 (UTC)
- Conditional Delete. Unattributed quotes make me nervous. The boxed text under definition of Shaher Sultan Culture is found on many websites, but the copyright for that text is found at [2]. One might make a "fair-use" argument for it, but taken with the already-seeming copyvio nature of the article, I'm leaning toward delete. If it turns out the attributed author submitted his own work, send to cleanup. Otherwise, delete. SWAdair | Talk 06:35, 3 Aug 2004 (UTC)
