List of Tamil Peoples of the Indian Civil Service

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

This article purports to be a list of Tamil people in the Indian Civil Service. However, only seven people are listed here, and of those, only three of them currently have Wikipedia articles of their own. The only source provided mentions only one of the seven people on the list. No indication has been given that reliable sources consider Tamil members of the Indian Civil Service to be a distinctive topic. The list doesn't satisfy WP:LISTPEOPLE because (1) not all of the members are notable and (2) reliable sources have not been provided to establish that they are all Tamil people and members of the Indian Civil Service. I recommend deletion. Metropolitan90 (talk) 04:24, 9 July 2013 (UTC)

 * Delete Lists of people by race/ethnic origin aren't usually considered encyclopedic topics, unless there's some particular reason for it to be important (e.g. in the context of segregation, genocide, severe oppression). There's no reason to have a breakdown of Indian Civil Service employees by ethnic group: even aside from the difficulty of deciding which group an individual belongs to or identifies with, it's no more relevant than a list of their heights. --Colapeninsula (talk) 15:58, 9 July 2013 (UTC)

 * Delete It is a poorly sourced, POV fork of List of Indian members of the Indian Civil Service. - Sitush (talk) 12:12, 15 July 2013 (UTC)
