 Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.
 * Delete - certainly nothing to suggest enough notability for an article; there could perhaps be a small mention in the main Rajputs article assuming that this isn't a hoax. Spiderone  11:37, 20 November 2016 (UTC)

Please add new comments below this notice. Thanks, North America1000 02:28, 21 November 2016 (UTC) Delete as per above editors. Searches did not turn up anything to show it meets notability criteria.  Onel 5969  TT me 20:49, 6 December 2016 (UTC)
 * Delete The one link appears to be a digitized copy of a local gazetteer from 1980 that is not verifiable and itself says that the term is being abandonded then. Otherwise, there seem to be almost no sources for this subcaste.  The Times of India has no cites, for example. An exhaustive 1883 Glossary of the Tribes and Castes of the Punjab and North-West Frontier Province  has just two passing mentions of Bhanots.  At most, it appears to be of minor historical or genealogical interest. Eggishorn (talk) (contrib) 01:38, 2 December 2016 (UTC)
