Poudar

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

I've been following changes on this page since 21 December, but I'm still not 100% sure what the topic is supposed to be. It is apparently a group of people, perhaps from Nepal with diaspora in the Americas and Europe, but some versions of the page assert, "They are thickly populated in international countries with surname Paudarco" (from the 20 December 2013 version of the page). Prior to 20 December, the name was a redirect to Paudel, which is an article about a surname. Some edits to the page suggest that the topic is the name itself, not an ethnic group or community.

The main editor of the page (somewhat confusingly, he has used two different names, User:Naver.np and User:Manzilnfl) has made what are clearly good-faith attempts to improve the page. Unfortunately, they have not improved it much at all.

One further confusing issue: Pau d'arco is the name of several places in Brazil and is a common name for two plant species genera, one of which is touted as a health supplement. Web searches for that name turn up many results (some of which have been cited as references on this article at various times), but none, as far as I can see, is relevant to the Poudar people or the Paudel/Poudar name.

 * Comment: In the course of trying to notify previous editors about this discussion, I discovered at Paudarco manzil, Paudarco Manzil, Manzil Paudarco, and MANZIL PAUDARCO were all speedy deleted as either "no context" or "no assertion of notability". I don't know if that has any bearing on this article. Cnilep (talk) 07:18, 30 January 2014 (UTC)
 * Delete - the article has no relevant sources, it is very unclear, a web search for the terms turn up nothing relevant. SchreiberBike talk 08:10, 30 January 2014 (UTC)

 * Delete - as per SchreiberBike. It seems almost to be a coatrack thing, assembling a variety of poor sources that contain a variety of names of vague similarity. - Sitush (talk) 14:08, 3 February 2014 (UTC)
