Article fails WP:V as admitted by the creator when writing the article The mentions about Bhanumati are unnamed in History but little mentions about Queen Bhanumati. So, essentially this is an admission that sources do not exist, therefore, we cannot have this article on Wikipedia. The article is copied and pasted without attribution from Bharatpedia, a user-generated Wiki. This is not acceptable as we can only write articles about topics based in WP:RS, otherwise we leave ourselves open to hoaxes and WP:OR.

Delete. Not encyclopaedic, zero sources. WP:NOTESSAY, WP:OR, and WP:NOTMIRROR all seem relevant. CT55555(talk) 00:48, 11 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Delete. For the reasons stated in the nomination. No evidence whatsover. BoyTheKingCanDance (talk) 02:14, 14 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Delete Google confirms there aren't many sources found, so I don't doubt that there aren't. I can't find any, and it appears to be OR based on the above explanation, possibly a hoax. Oaktree b (talk) 03:22, 15 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Delete per WP:V - minor if not legendary (in the semi-fictional sense) historical figure. Bearian (talk) 04:07, 15 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Delete per above: the subject is not notable and the article may violate WP:V and WP:NOTESSAY. InterstellarGamer12321 (talk | contribs) 16:49, 16 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]
POssibly redirect to Kanishka III, her husband. There is nothing in this article but genealogy. This is often a good solution to such articles. Peterkingiron (talk) 17:09, 16 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]

I would only support this if someone were able to provide at least one reliable source (Bharatpedia is user-generated and not reliable) confirming that Kanishka III's wife was called Bhanumati. Spiderone^{(Talk to Spider)} 18:01, 16 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]
