 * This page is likely a hoax. I searched on Google and found nothing. keystoneridin! (talk) 21:37, 11 August 2009 (UTC)
 * Comment I wonder if this might be a spelling discrepancy issue. Perhaps "Mahl" is ordinary spelled in another fashion? KevinOKeeffe (talk) 21:47, 11 August 2009 (UTC)


 * Keep. There are 381 Gbooks hits for Mahl+Minicoy, and a good chunk of them refer to the people as Mahl, who speak the Mahl language. - SpacemanSpiff Calvin&#8225;Hobbes 22:02, 11 August 2009 (UTC)

 * Keep Sufficient reliable sources do exist as demonstrarted by Spaceman; athough I have a few doubts about the authenticity of some of the claims, even if sourced. Can someone with a good knowledge of the subject look into it please? --Deepak D'Souza 01:10, 12 August 2009 (UTC)

 * Keep but improve. Ethnic groups are the sort of thing that ought to be in an encyclopedia.  The article can be tagged as appropriate. Bearian (talk) 13:13, 12 August 2009 (UTC)
 * Keep as per Bearian's remarks. KevinOKeeffe (talk) 13:37, 12 August 2009 (UTC)
 * Keep As User:SpacemanSpiff and User:Bearian say, this is not a hoax and definitely an encyclopedic topic. Article needs work but notability is not an issue. Abecedare (talk) 08:19, 15 August 2009 (UTC)
