Arya Vysya
Wikipedia is not a publisher of original thought. Philip   Gronowski  Contribs  20:09, 23 May 2006 (UTC)
 * Question Is this possibly a section from the Vedas? I found the same story, slightly differently worded, at a few Hindu sites. Fan1967 20:33, 23 May 2006 (UTC)
 * I don't know exactly but it appears to be a caste, or lineage, of Hindu. I do not know enough of the issue, perhaps we could change its nomination? Quite frankly I do not know what we could change it to. Philip   Gronowski  Contribs  20:45, 23 May 2006 (UTC)
 * Possibly Primary Source? This reads like it might be one, but I'm not sure. Fan1967 20:52, 23 May 2006 (UTC)
 * Delete. I'm not sure what that was, but it doesn't belong here.  -- stubblyh ea d | T/c 20:46, 23 May 2006 (UTC)
 * Comment. From what I seem to recall, the Arya Vysya are an Indian sub-community, and Vasavi - of whom the text in the article tells the story - is a goddess of special importance to them. On the whole, almost certainly a notable subject for an article. However, on reviewing the article as it stands, I dont think this is it, or is ever going to be it. So I would lean towards deleting it. Hornplease 06:50, 24 May 2006 (UTC)


 *  Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion so that consensus may be reached.  Please add new discussions below this notice. Thanks, Ezeu 17:45, 30 May 2006 (UTC)


 * Delete. It doesn't appear to be Primary Source material, but as it isn't WP:V sourced, I can't be sure.  Maybe it is from one of the Puranas?  Without sourcing it is hard to say... If someone could put this into context (and clean it up a bit) I'd opine this should be transwiki'd to wikisource.  Without any context though, I'm sticking with delete.--Isotope23 18:35, 30 May 2006 (UTC)
 * Delete I'm Indian & thus know that Arya Vysya is an important subcaste & deserves an article, but this block of text should certainly not be kept as its unreferenced & judging by the enormous amount of text, is probably a copyvio. Srik e it ( talk ¦  ✉  )  19:18, 30 May 2006 (UTC)
 * Delete, or transwiki to Wikisource if not a copyvio. Stifle (talk) 11:40, 3 June 2006 (UTC)
 * Delete without prejudice to re-creation of the article as Arya Vysa is an important caste in India. Also, article appears to be a copyvio. --Gurubrahma 11:46, 3 June 2006 (UTC)
 * Delete Whatever it is, i tisn't an encyclopaedia article.--Runcorn 20:13, 4 June 2006 (UTC)
