This article has been deleted thrice before (twice prodded for failing GNG; once for copyvio) and has recently been subject of an edit war over which unsourced version is preferable. Searching for sources, I find only trivial mentions in unreliable sources such as
this website,
book published by ISHA and another book titled Freedom Struggle of 1857 published by "Diamond Pocket Books Pvt Ltd" that I cannot link to since it is on the spam-blacklist. All three sources copy freely from each other despite supposedly having different authors and publishers (ISHA Books is
knownfor such practices of copying content from wikipedia etc and publishing books with apparently fictitious authors and editors).
If deleted, the page may need to be salted.

Delete: As the nominator has mentioned, there is very little online that mentions Pran Sukh Yadav in any great detail. Any sources that do talk about him are unreliable. Until new and more reliable sources come to light, there is little reason for this article to remain up. Even the only source on this article is a broken link. He seems to be more of a mythical folk hero than an actual figure. Many claim that he was a general in the Sikh army but I can find no Sikh sources that mention him.

To avoid playing whack-a-mole with more sources, can you please read
WP:HISTRS for the kind of sources we are looking for and, if they are not accessible online, provide relevant quotes so that we can judge how deeply they discuss the article's subject?

Delete fails WP:GNG as lacks WP:SIGCOV in WP:RS.

Delete, pending evidence of non-trivial coverage from reliable sources. Regards,
