Moved to mainspace by Skr15081997 (talk). Self-nominated at 09:20, 15 April 2017 (UTC).
Article moved to namespace recently enough, long enough at 2.4k readable prose, well cited. Neutrality and copyvio detector checks out. I find the first hook very interesting, and it is supported by the brill source, which is verifiable online. However, before exposure on the main page I believe this article needs to be improved for verification.
- Please explain/link non-obvious terms such as "Rajput", "masnavi", "Sultanate" (which sultanate is it talking about?)
- Don't just drop new names such as "Khizr", "During Mubarak's reign", etc. without explaining who they are and how they relate to the previous prose. You need to re-introduce them in body even if you already did in lead.
- The hook depends on 5 key facts. She was married to (1) Khizr, (2) Mubarak, (3) Khusro and (4) Mubarak killed Khizr, and (5) Khusro killed Mubarak. fact (3) isn't mentioned in the body, fact (4) isn't mentioned clearly. Please fix it.
- Sorry for the long review :) It's an interesting article, once the issues above are addressed I think we're good to go. HaEr48 (talk) 03:52, 8 May 2017 (UTC)
