Contested deletion[edit]

This article should not be speedily deleted for lack of asserted importance because the subject of this article was a ruler of the Vakataka dynasty, a notable dynasty of India. The article is supported by a reliable source. It is also currently a stub.--Cpt.a.haddock (talk) (please ping when replying) 16:56, 10 August 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Subjective[edit]

@Cpt.a.haddock: The wording that is used is very subjective. I would suggest "it is claimed that he had qualities of x, y, z". At the moment, you are assuming that he did, in fact, possess those qualities, and, as such, the article has a very positive bias. Specto73 (talk) 17:07, 10 August 2016 (UTC)[reply]

@Specto73: The sentence begins "In later Vakataka inscriptions …" In any case, I've tweaked the language a little. I'm simply paraphrasing the historian here.--Cpt.a.haddock (talk) (please ping when replying) 17:45, 10 August 2016 (UTC)[reply]
