Kshattri
The article at Kshattri was created to mislead Wikipedia readers. The objective was to create a mischievious article ridiculing the Khatris with false information, and to redirect the real Khatri article to it.

The Khatri (Kshatriya) page is a previous incarnation of the same thing. It should also be deleted.

The person who created this scheme has used several different logins.

 * Delete I've been watching this article for some time. It has been the subject of a long-term edit war and appears to be a WP:POV-fork of the main Khatri article. The list of family names fails WP:NOT and is unverifiable. The Modern times section is original research and the opening paragraph's only source is the Manu Smriti which does not fall within WP:RS. Essentially the whole article is unverifiable and inherently WP:POV. Gwernol 02:15, 14 September 2006 (UTC)
 * Redirect to Khatri and protect. I've speedy tagged it to bring it to someone's attention. Dave 02:27, 14 September 2006 (UTC)
 * Delete per Gwernol. --Supermath 02:37, 14 September 2006 (UTC)
 * Redirect to Khatri - I think Dave's idea makes the most sense here. My Alt Account 03:47, 14 September 2006 (UTC)
 * Delete. What Gwernol said. +Fin- 13:36, 14 September 2006 (UTC)
 * Comment: Please do not have the Kshattri page redirect to Khatri. It is the aim of the person who created Kshattri to suggest that the two terms are equivalent, and that Kshattri is equivalent to something else etc., and thus confuse people. The Kshattri article should simply be deleted.--ISKapoor 17:01, 15 September 2006 (UTC)


 * Strong Delete NOT Redirect. I've followed this discussion on Talk:Khatri for a long time and believe ISKapoor's logic is fine.  Noble eagle  (Talk)  04:25, 17 September 2006 (UTC)
 * Delete per above. utcursch | talk 08:50, 17 September 2006 (UTC)
