 * Are we sure whether this deserves deletion. As per, thisThe Bene Israeli Jewish community of Bombay, are believed to be the descendants of the Jews of Israel who were shipwrecked off the Konkan coast, probably in the year 175 BCE, during the reign of the Greek ruler, Antiochus IV Epiphanes.


 * Jewish historian Schifra Strizower has written a book dedicated to the community, The children of Israel: the Bene Israel of Bombay. Xavier449 (talk)


 * Speedy Keep per WP:SK, "...fails to advance an argument for deletion—perhaps only proposing a non-deletion action such as moving or merging". AFD is not cleanup. Warden (talk) 12:41, 1 September 2013 (UTC)
