Delete then redirect. According to what is written, Vodamayuta is a former name for a city, Budaun, (source:Ancient India book) with an existing article. Thus would have qualified for speedy deletion under WP:A10: "Recently created article that duplicates an existing topic". With little history for the city at the article (which might allow a fork/split), a redirect is most appropriate. Spshu (talk) 12:55, 23 May 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Redirect [was "Merge"]. It doesn't duplicate an existing topic, because the Vaduan article's history section doesn't mention it. It could be merged though, leaving a redirect behind. I don't know its motive, but the suggestion to delete the topic before redirecting it strikes me as mean-spirited, as if to punish the original contributor for actually contributing something worthwhile. Their contribution should be kept at least in the edit history of the redirect. --do ncr am 15:27, 23 May 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Comment. Before and after my recent edit to Budaun (not Vaduan) does in fact mention Vodamayuta: "According to tradition, Budaun was founded about 905 AD, and an inscription, probably of the 12th century, gives a list of twelve Rathor kings reigning at Budaun (called Vodamayuta)." This is directly from the EB1911 Encyclopedia. Spshu (talk) 16:04, 23 May 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Okay i stand corrected. Redirect. --do ncr am 12:17, 24 May 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Merge or redirect to Badayun, or rather Budaun. There is no need for the present stub, other than as a redirect. Peterkingiron (talk) 17:30, 26 May 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Redirect - If the article is developed, it can be forked later, but for now this seems like a reasonable search term for the material at Budaun. Smmurphy^(Talk) 20:42, 30 May 2017 (UTC)[reply]
