List of minor Maratha clans

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

Another list with no criteria for inclusion, and no reliable sources that demonstrate the notability of a grouping of "minor clans"—thus it is original research. A few of these were even included in the former list of 96k Maratha 'major' clans at Maratha clan system—so at this point there is no rhyme, reason, or reliable sources that are definitively grouping them. Individual clans, when notable enough for their own article, should simply go into the category Category:Maratha clans. That will suffice for a "list".

 * Delete. Sources don't exist in the article and I haven't been able to find any either. And what makes a clan minor vs major? Also Brittanica says that the actual identity of the clans that constitute the Maratha mega clan is varied and disputed. In the absence of reliable sources, addition to the category shouldn't happen either. - SpacemanSpiff Calvin&#8225;Hobbes 04:18, 27 August 2009 (UTC)

 *  Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion so consensus may be reached.


 * Delete: a possible POV about some clans being "minor". No references-- Redtigerxyz Talk 16:03, 6 September 2009 (UTC)
