Removing sourced info
editThe "10,000 Killed" info in the infobox is cited by this source by Roger Savory, which makes it pretty clear that those were the casualties; "In November 1510, Isma'il marched into Khurasan, and on 2 December succeeded in luring the Özbegs, who had taken refuge behind the walls of Marv, into a pitched battle. Muhammad Shibani Khan and 10,000 of his men were killed. Isma'il sent the head of the Özbeg chief to the Ottoman Sultan Bayazid II, and this act is said to have aroused a strong desire for revenge in the latter's son, Selim "the Grim". As a result of this victory, the province of Khurasan was brought under Safavid control, and the city of Harat became the second city of the empire and the seat of the heir-apparent." - pp. 35–36, Savory, Roger (2007).
