General category (reservation)

Stub article that is essentially a dictionary definition of the term, and does not provide significant coverage except to state that persons outside the general category (that is, scheduled persons) are entitled to compete against persons in the general category. Both references are reliable sources that merely report a Supreme Court of India decision that is the basis of the second sentence. The descriptions of scheduled castes, scheduled tribes, other backward classes, and economically weaker section either are substantial articles or redirect to substantial articles. This should be merged into Reservation in India. It was originally created in article space, but was moved to draft space by User:Riteshmmec, who tagged the redirect in article space for R2. The author then converted the redirect back into an article, which now cannot be moved into draft space. A stub can be cut down to a redirect by normal editing, but the author has shown that they are being assertive, so AFD is in order. Robert McClenon (talk) 17:09, 17 August 2022 (UTC)

 * Comment This user has also created General Class, Economically Weaker Section, which should be scrutinized. Frankly all three seem like WP:GS/CASTE-themed nightmares, but I have no familiarity with that topic area. (Not actually content created by this user, I apologize.)
