I believe this is a hoax. The only search results for "Gaurati State" are a couple of Instagram accounts and there are no results for "Kingdom of Gaurati". All of the references fail verification: the two web sources are unreliable and don't seem to mention a Gaurati State; the links for "History of Rajput Clans", "History of Medieval India", and "The Battles of Samugarh and Dharmat" don't go to those books; p. 80 of "Annals and Antiquities of Rajasthan" is about religious beliefs, not a Gaurati State or its geography; "Fall of the Mughal Empire" is a 404. Three of the "Currency and Medals" images are obviously unrelated and I suspect the fourth of being AI generated. My hoax tag and PROD were [https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Gaurati_State&diff=prev&oldid=1274056372 removed by the article creator] with a disingenuous edit summary, who also [https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=User_talk:Vaibhavkumarsinghkt&diff=prev&oldid=1274059529 responded] on their talk page with LLM generated text.

  • I didn't even bother researching. The article content on its face is a total hoax, from the rainbow flag through the Nazi memorabilia being passed off as 12th century coinage and the fake Google Books hyperlinks to the false sourcing of an 1829 book for events that happened in 1947.

  • Comment (from nominator): Chaukhara and Baiswada State, created by the same user, need similar scrutiny. I tried to clean up the former but was reverted by the creator with an AI edit summary. Jfire (talk) 20:04, 5 February 2025 (UTC)

:Speedy delete per WP:G3, I agree. This is pretty bad. Kylemahar902 (talk) 22:27, 5 February 2025 (UTC)
