This page is a hoax; there are no mentions of a "Nimsod State" anywhere on the internet before November 2021, the only source directly linked isn't particularly trustworthy, the state does not appear in any maps of the period nor on wikisource, it does not appear in Imperial Gazetteers and is not mentioned anywhere on Wikipedia before the month the article was created. Evidence of the state's non-existence is outlined here Telebeam 17:00, 11 March 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Comment: Mhaswad Jagir is related and might be a hoax as well as the page's creator is the same and the article itself is associated with Nimsod State. Telebeam 17:11, 11 March 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Comment: Gharge-Desai (Deshmukh) is also related to these articles and, while it is much older than the others (made in 2009), also appears to be a hoax. Telebeam 01:23, 13 March 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Delete as a hoax. None of the linked refs mention the entity and neither does anything else reliable. Mccapra (talk) 17:13, 11 March 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Comment: It may also be worthwhile to contact an admin from Italian Wikipedia (User:Pil56?) as this hoax article exists there as well [1]. Curbon7 (talk) 14:08, 14 March 2023 (UTC)[reply]
if you delete the entry, "ping" me and I'll also delete it from wiki-it --Pil56 (talk) 17:17, 14 March 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Comment-- I am suspicious as the article says the capital was Nimsod city but WP has no such article. I could believe that this was the domain of a petty rajah, but if so, it was probably NN. Peterkingiron (talk) 14:43, 18 March 2023 (UTC)[reply]
