Nambiar (Kshatriya)

 * Delete This information provided in this doesn’t give any references to researches or studies done on Nambiar Caste. There is no solid evidence that Kerala Nambiars is belonging to Aryans of North. No reference/study has done on Nambiar caste or kerala. But they historically belongs to Nair caste and doest belong to Khatriya sect of kerala who had migrated from Tamil Nadu Klm nair 01:45, 2 October 2006 (UTC)
 * Comment I'm not sure what the justification for the AfD is here - lack of references means it needs cleanup, not deletion. --Jamoche 03:59, 2 October 2006 (UTC)
 * Keep Lack of sources is not a reason to delete, being unverifiable is. Google turned up that both the french and German Wikipedias have articles, which suggests it's notable enough. Time to find sources then. Michael Billington (talk • contribs) 11:02, 2 October 2006 (UTC)

 * Delete as POV fork; same reasons we deleted Khatri (Kshatriya). ergot 15:26, 3 October 2006 (UTC)
 * Comment: I am afraid that (in my opinion) this is not similar to Khatri (Kshatriya)  Doctor Bruno  01:55, 4 October 2006 (UTC)


 * Delete: The information given here is complete fiction and nonsense...with absolutely no historical reference or relevance...i am in a position to say so because i have directly verified several facts pertaining to this article from old books itself...so please Delete...examples of wrong facts given here: customs:Upanayanam...this was only for Brahmins in that part of India...the mentioned dynasties etc are all utter fantasy of the author...besides the name of the article itself, Nambiar (Kshatriya) is wrong as Nambiars are part of the Nair caste which is not a Kshatriya caste technically.

 * Keep: As stated above this is not a Quick Deletion article. The problems within the article (there are many) such as the Indo Aryan origin claim must be changed, and the article should not be deleted. I think we can work through the problems presented, on the discussion page, and find a way to best represent the facts.Kshatriya Grandmaster 05:22, 16 December 2006 (UTC)
 * Delete: As stated previously, the name of the article ir wrong and that is the first thing to be considered. Change the name and correct the fantastic facts in the article.
 * Delete: Wrong facts mentioned in the article. That is reason enough.
