List of Maratha notables by clan

 * ( [ delete] ) – (View AfD) (View log)

Not a single reference in this article checked out to be true to what it was claiming. If any of these people can be ascertained to be in a particular clan, it can be added to their WP article. The rest are not notable. Priyanath talk 04:39, 19 August 2009 (UTC)

 * Delete as OR. Also, this is better handled as a category. No sourcing for either the people or the clans. There's nothing to say that any of the clan/surnames mentioned are actually Marathas. And it isn't easy to come by either. - SpacemanSpiff Calvin&#8225;Hobbes 05:13, 19 August 2009 (UTC)
 * Delete as OR. The preponderance of unlinked and red-linked names shows they're actually non-notable. Bazj (talk) 20:01, 19 August 2009 (UTC)
 * Delete as OR. We cannot arbitrarily classify persons into categories without any sources or rationale. Even if the individual classification was sourced, it is not clear that such a classification is notable enough to justify a list. Abecedare (talk) 05:29, 20 August 2009 (UTC)
 * Delete - Excellent original research. Classifications seems to be work of IPs. No sources Kensplanet TC 07:22, 23 August 2009 (UTC)
