The result was delete. WP:OTHERSTUFF is not a reason for keeping anything. Given that nobody has indicated that sources indicating notability exist, the delete argument carries the day. Jo-Jo Eumerus (talk, contributions) 08:25, 1 October 2016 (UTC)

Bhanot (Brahmin)

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

This is a recreation of an article that was deleted via PROD earlier this year. It is still unsourced and still appears to fail WP:GNG. Sitush (talk) 06:32, 16 September 2016 (UTC)

 * Keep This article certainly needs improvement and sources. However, Bhanot is a known caste group in Northern India. There are many other caste groups that have wiki pages. Specifically for this page, the author seems to be differentiating Bhanot Rajputs from Bhanot Brahmins. At the worst, put in Drafts of the author, but not delete.

 * Mere existence is not an acceptable criteria per WP:GNG. As for Bhanot Rajputs, well, I've struggled to source that over the last few months and suspect I will refer it to AfD also in due course. And just because there are articles about some caste groups does not justify keeping this one. - Sitush (talk) 15:57, 16 September 2016 (UTC)

 Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.

 * Delete: I'm not seeing a thing that would hint notability for topic under discussion. It simply fails WP:GNG. One keep !vote above seems to arise from WP:OTHERSTUFFEXISTS and thus doesn't seem to be a valid argument. Anup   [Talk]  16:53, 30 September 2016 (UTC)
