Result: No response to issues; thus delisting on basis of silent consensus. ~~ AirshipJungleman29 (talk) 11:27, 22 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]

A GA made in 2012. Now has multiple unsourced claims that need to be addressed for this article to remain a GA. Onegreatjoke (talk) 17:19, 7 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]

This article is a mess right now. I'm gonna try to remove blatantly bad sources and content out of the article. CactiStaccingCrane (talk) 12:26, 8 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Infobox

Infobox should display only the latest/current status of the subject. History can be described in the text portion.

Multiple capitals are mentioned in the infobox of this article, thereby affecting the legibility of the box. Riteze (talk) 14:50, 23 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

There is a reason that the template Infobox settlement has seven arguments for established title and established date. Those dates are not so much history as the sequence of expanding urban settlements that today make the territory of Delhi. Fowler&fowler «Talk» 16:08, 23 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Request to Include Tomaras of Delhi in the Capital Section

Hi,

I would like to propose adding the Tomaras of Delhi in the capital section. This is not intended to introduce any bias or unbias, but rather to highlight historical evidence. The Tomaras were the first dynasty to establish a capital city in Delhi and are credited with founding the earliest city of Delhi, Lal Kot. Historical records and research indicate that Lal Kot is often identified as the first of the 'Seven Cities of Delhi,' a concept widely acknowledged in historical narratives about the region. This inclusion is based on well-documented historical facts, not any political or ideological motivations.

Thank you!
