Ghazni Khel (Clan)

 * – ( View AfD View log  •  )

There is already an article titled Marwat on Wikipedia where most of these details are available except these vanity and POV entries for which this separate article has been started. This does not qualify and fulfill the criteria of wiki notability as well. Similarly it can not be merged either with that parent article due to these vanity entries.

 * Delete No useful addition of information: essentially vanity article. JamesBWatson (talk) 12:51, 1 March 2010 (UTC)
 * Keep Senators of Pakistan are notable. Looks like useful information to me. Shii (tock) 16:21, 1 March 2010 (UTC)
 * Comment Saying "Keep: Senators of Pakistan are notable" is like saying "keep the article about black hair, because some notable people have black hair". Notability is not inherited. JamesBWatson (talk) 14:24, 3 March 2010 (UTC)

 * Delete Almost all of the important information is already included in the parent article except vanity entries.--  MARWAT   04:07, 2 March 2010 (UTC)
 * I would support merging it in. I feel like it's difficult to make a claim of notability about Pakistani society. Shii (tock) 02:56, 3 March 2010 (UTC)
 * Keep As for as its notability is concern the ghazni khel is the leading marwat clan mention in the book a glossary of the tribes and castes of punjab and n.w.f.p. The national politions which i mentioned in the article like saifullah brothers is belong to ghazni khel.The article Marwat is not enough, an article exists at wikipedia with the name of hafiz khel is a clan of gandapur and the aba khel and mahabat khel of Yousafzai tribe is also here at wikipedia, Ghazni khel should be included. As for as vanity is concern i included references for the information, Senetors, MNA's and MPA's are the notable entries. Large amount of information is available about mahabat khan, purdil khan and sherdil khan in the books which i mentioned in the references. I do not included any extra information from myself.User:Mahabat (talk) 05:47, 2 March 2010 (UTC)
 * Comment Once again, notability is not inherited. What is at issue here is whether the clan is notable, not whether some members of the clan are notable. JamesBWatson (talk) 14:24, 3 March 2010 (UTC)


 * Delete, Apparently the person who is pushing the publication of this article on Wikipedia is a single purpose editor who's main agenda is to insert the names of his petty relatives or friends who are absolutely unknown entities. This article is nothing else but pure vanity. Fast Delete recommended.--  MARWAT   17:31, 3 March 2010 (UTC)
 * Keep Ghazni Khel is a notable clan of Marwat because of its strong history and their past and present personalities. Ghazni khel is notable beacuse it has eight MNA's, three Ministers and many senetors in the past and three persons of ghazni khel also sitting in different houses. I have many evidences that here at wikipedia dozens of clans are present at wikipedia, like kalpar and Masuri of bugti tribe, Hafiz Khel of Gandapur tribe etc. Then why not Ghazni khel? I am not a single purpose editor, I include references for my article.User:Mahabat (talk) —Preceding undated comment added 04:41, 4 March 2010 (UTC).
 * Yet again, notability is not inherited. JamesBWatson (talk) 16:36, 6 March 2010 (UTC)
 * Comment - Closing Admin can see for himself/herself that this user User:Mahabat's only contribution revolves around pushing these POV and vanity entries through this article. He is a sole purpose editor. On a seperate note, the clan is Marwat and Ghazni Khel is one of the hundreds of villages of this clan.--  MARWAT   07:44, 4 March 2010 (UTC)


 * Comment Yes you are right this is my first article but i will write more articles in the future. Mullazai clan of Marwat is also here at wikipedia, Mullazai was also nominated for deletion but after discussion the result was speedy keep. My article is well referenced and contains important information.User:Mahabat (talk) —Preceding undated comment added 02:12, 5 March 2010 (UTC).
 * Strong Keep Seperate article is available for Hafiz Khel the leading clan of Gandapur Tribe, Ghazni Khel is also a leading Marwat clan, therefore Ghazni Khel should have seperate article. If the Ghazni Khel is not important sub clan of Marwat then why its name is included in the section disunity and Division of Marwat's article. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Mahabat (talk • contribs) 16:09, 6 March 2010 (UTC)
 * Whether other tribes should have articles is a completely separate issue. It may be that they have more evidence of notability than this one, or it may be that they too are not notable and their articles should be deleted. Either way, whether this article should be deleted or kept depends on whether there is evidence of notability for the subject of this article. JamesBWatson (talk) 16:36, 6 March 2010 (UTC)


 * The books I mentioned in referenes are written by well known authors, and seperate sections are provided to Ghazni khel in all four books.--Mahabat 05:21, 7 March 2010 (UTC) —Preceding unsigned comment added by Mahabat (talk • contribs)
