 * Delete unnecessary overcategorization. §§Dharmadhyaksha§§ {Talk / Edits} 06:31, 29 June 2016 (UTC)


 * Comment: Also suggest deleting List of Notable Marathi Brahmins for same reasons and POV. §§Dharmadhyaksha§§ {Talk / Edits} 06:37, 29 June 2016 (UTC)


 * Delete both. Marathi brahmin exists only as a dab page, so we can't have a "list of X" if "X "isn't notable enough to at least potentially have its own article. On the other hand, even if it were, it wouldn't make sense to have this list: aside from practicalities (it can get too big to be manageable and it can easily become a battleground of edit warring over the inclusion of people of contested identities), it isn't very encyclopedic as a list. I know this is a vague term to be avoided in discussions like this, but it does capture the intuition that some lists are worth having here and some aren't. I don't think we could imagine to have lists corresponding for example to African-American upper class. Uanfala (talk) 08:47, 29 June 2016 (UTC)
 * Hmm, there does seem to be a similar List of German Americans. Oh well, my last argument might be moot then, but at least we still have the lack of notability of Marathi brahmin to go by. Uanfala (talk) 08:49, 29 June 2016 (UTC)


 * Delete as there's still nothing convincing of its own article, information is best mentioned elsewhere. SwisterTwister   talk  05:55, 1 July 2016 (UTC)
