The result of the move request was: Not moved. No support for this move and it seems has re-written this article so that it differentiates the surname from the beverage. (non-admin closure).  Anarchyte  ( work  &#124;  talk )   13:06, 12 July 2016 (UTC)

Sonti → Sonti (surname) – must differentiate between Sonti (beverage) and Sonti (surname) – 206.87.193.25 (talk) 05:34, 1 July 2016 (UTC)
 * That's what the disambig page is for. Dicklyon (talk) 04:58, 1 July 2016 (UTC)

 * Comment. The Sonti page is a bit of a mess. Is it an article about an Indian surname, or is it a dab page? And is the surname sufficiently notable to merit an article? Perhaps split rather than move? PC78 (talk) 03:05, 2 July 2016 (UTC)
 * Oppose – The page as is talks about the surname and includes a list of people bearing this name. There is not enough material to create a separate page about the beverage, which is just a WP:DICDEF at this point, so we have no need to disambiguate. I would suggest rephrasing the article text slightly and moving the red-linked beverage entry to a See also section. Even if and when a full article is written about the beverage, WP:TWODABS hatnotes can do the trick without a disambig page — JFG talk 04:42, 3 July 2016 (UTC)
 * ✅ as suggested. — JFG talk 08:17, 3 July 2016 (UTC)

Attn: This surname is used by multiple communities within India and Africa. It does not belong to a single caste/community.
This page was edited by an IP user without comment/explanation. An IP editor reverted this stub to an older version which only mentioned the surname among telugu brahmins. This surname is also used among non-brahmins and Xhosa people, and the newer version reflects that. There are Indian and African communities that have this surname, some who are related to one another. We ask IP users to explain their changes before making deletions/reversions. This surname does not merely belong to one caste or community. Thesatishard (talk) 03:32, 9 July 2023 (UTC)
