Fails WP:GNG, which requires at least two RS with substantial coverage. This is a historical battle that occurred more than a thousand years ago. There are no sources for any detail of the battle, just cryptic mention in a single inscription in India. The existing coverage in Umayyad campaigns in India is quite enough.

I can provide additional sources or evidence you have that could support the validity of the Battle of Navsari. This could include historical texts, archaeological findings, or other reliable sources that provide more detail about the battle and its participants. We will review these sources carefully and make a decision based on their reliability and relevance to the article. Thank you for your cooperation.

Not done. Read this discussion of similar case. We can't invent names for battles like "Battle of X" just because it happened at X. Imperial[AFCND] 11:00, 18 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]
  • Merge to the Umayyad campaigns in India. We can't invent names for battles such as "Battle of X", just because it is happened at X. Significance of major events would be shadowed over comparatively less significant events where the authors of the sources don't address deeply about the topic. This event can be added to the above linked articles where similar events are addressed. Imperial[AFCND] 11:03, 18 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]
    Wdym? It is not even a reason for deletion this article just lacks some secondary sources Umarrizwan.ansari (talk) 19:34, 18 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]
    I fixed the article with more sources and information so there is no need to delete this page Umarrizwan.ansari (talk) 07:09, 19 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]
    Most of the sources are outdated and unreliable. Moreover, you can't invent names for battles like "Battle of X" unless it is used by historians. Imperial[AFCND] 08:07, 19 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]
    Additionally I found that none of those sources mentions the Umayyad caliphate nor its commander. What you did is original research. Please read WP:NOR. Imperial[AFCND] 08:42, 19 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]
  • Merge to [[Umayyad campaigns in India] -- I completely agree with ImperialAficionado's statement that we can't make up terms like this. The article as it stands appears to be a mixture of WP:OR and WP:SYNTH to create a topic that is not directly mentioned in the underlying sources. It would be better to spend the energy improving the parent article (which could use some help). Cheers, Last1in (talk) 17:50, 20 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]
