AfDs for this article: 
 * ( [ delete] ) – (View AfD) (View log)

Largely unsourced article about a family in India. The first nomination closed with "no consensus"; some editors expressed the hope that substantial independent sources could be added to the article over time. As a matter of fact, this has not happened for more than 1 1/2 years now. Hence I propose to delete the article as failing WP:N. --B. Wolterding (talk) 16:24, 21 March 2008 (UTC)


 * Delete unless we can locate some reliable sources to establish notability during the priod of this AFD. I tried locating sources, but Google Books/Scholar/News have zero hits and none of the hits on the web (besides wikipedia and its mirrors) seem to be useful.

 * Delete per nom. Unlikely acceptable sources exist. Doctorfluffy (talk) 19:23, 21 March 2008 (UTC)
 * Delete - Previous AfD provided an opportunity to satisfy the requirements of WP:N and WP:RS, but neither has been. Jfire (talk) 21:50, 21 March 2008 (UTC)
 * Delete - Non-notable family history. The details given on the page dont really make the family notable, as almost all families in the region would have a similar tale to narrate. Wikipedia is not a genealogical directory.--thunderboltz(TALK) 19:07, 23 March 2008 (UTC)
 * Delete - Just as Wikipedia is not a directory of European surnames, it should not be a directory of Indian clan names. — BradV 15:31, 25 March 2008 (UTC)


 * Delete stated well by Bradv15. --Stormbay (talk) 02:23, 27 March 2008 (UTC)
