Comment: No improvement in citations since last decline. ❯❯❯ Raydann(Talk) 16:48, 27 November 2023 (UTC) Comment: For a Wikipedia article to be published, it must be about a notable subject. A subject is notable if it has significant coverage in several independent, reliable sources. Coverage of a subject is significant if the subject is covered in depth in the source; passing mentions and routine news stories are generally not significant. The sources cited in this draft merely contain passing mentions of the siege on Chittor, and none as far as I can tell call it the "Battle of Chittor".Side note: the article title should only be bolded in the first sentence. Remove the rest of the bolding in the draft. voorts (talk/contributions) 01:24, 15 November 2023 (UTC) Comment: Sources do not meet WP:GNG, only mentioning the battle in context. For an event to be notable warrants some more discussion in a wP:RS about it impact/consequence in many sources. EmeraldRange (talk/contribs) 17:44, 1 November 2023 (UTC)| Siege of Chittor | |||||||

The King of Mewar further inscripted about his victory over the Sultan of Malwa as translated in English—
King Raja Mai deprived Ghiyasa (Ghiyasuddin), the lord of the Shakas (Mussalmans) of his pride on (near) the Chitrukuta, who fought with instruments of capturing, gave blows with ploughs, bewildered (the enemies) with his elephants, had numerous and active troops of horses and camels, had many heroes who fought with loud war-cry and who fought with terrible blows.[2]: 8
On the death of his commander Gaur, Rana Raimal put up his statue on a peak of Chittor, which is named after him. And the inscrption is—
In that battle, a great hero called Gaura constantly destroyed the army of the Shakas, therefore a peak of Chitrakuta, being a portion of the fort, bears this name (Gaura).[2]: 9
