The result was no consensus. and no indication any further input is forthcoming. While this could be a soft delete, CT55555 doesn't serve up poor sourcing, so while they aren't saying keep, that seems to be what they're implying. No objection to a re-nom for better participation at another time Star   Mississippi  02:10, 29 March 2023 (UTC)

Effectively unsourced. The only source is a JPG, which does not support the claims in the article. cagliost (talk) 12:46, 28 February 2023 (UTC) Please add new comments below this notice.

 * Comment I see they are mentioned in Jatav. If they are indeed a scheduled cast there must be plenty of sources about them, including policy documents, official stats and reports etc aside from news items. Without searching in some key Indian languages it’s hard to know, but I think deleting without that kind of thorough search would be a mistake. At worst draftify.

 * Oppose deletion. We should be assessing this based on sourcing that can be found, not the article. I added one already and see more here: Pathak, B. (1993). Rural Violence in Bihar. India: Concept Publishing Company. p192 CT55555 (talk) 05:53, 22 March 2023 (UTC)


 * Delete. I'm not a big expert here, but even the new added source is about a "leader of the Bairwa community" (and the eponymic one), not about the ethnic group in discussion. It still could be a real thing, but out of proportion or something. Btw, I don't see much sense in draftifying, coz the article is quite short and already has issue templates. Redirect to Scheduled Castes and Scheduled Tribes doesn't sound good, too, because that arcticle doesn't mention it. Suitskvarts (talk) 14:06, 25 March 2023 (UTC)
