 Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.
 * Delete - the "list of clans" articles are gradually being pruned to those that meet WP:V and the spirit of WP:NLIST. Clan names often exist in more than one caste grouping and in more than one location, so accurate redirecting is impossible. Source checks suggest that this particular community does not appear to meet WP:GNG. All of the sources listed by are unreliable ones from the British Raj era - I'm actually getting a bit fed up of repeating this point to people who frequent AfD but the consensus is solid and has been for years. They almost always rely on methodology used in the census enumerations and on scientific racism, for which see Census of India prior to independence. - Sitush (talk) 05:36, 18 September 2016 (UTC)

 * Delete. All of the sources linked above are from the Raj era (the first being a reprint of a book first published in 1899) and such sources are notoriously unreliable in this topic area, being based on racism as explained by Sitush. 86.17.222.157 (talk) 19:51, 22 September 2016 (UTC)
