 * Keep. I believe this article is created separately oot of Reddy as it is a list. We can first request for sources to be added before asking for deletion. There is no need for a separate article for subcastes. My suggestion would be to merge this article with Reddy with subsection subcastes and meanwhile I will try to add some sources, as I knew many of these sub-castes do exist. aggi007(talk) 09:53, 18 February 2019 (UTC)
 * These are few of the sources- — Preceding unsigned comment added by Aggi007 (talk • contribs) 10:12, 18 February 2019 (UTC)


 *  Delete Merge/Redirect to Reddy. This article is completely unreferenced. The references listed by  above are disparate lists of names from various sources that, at a minimum, would invoke WP:OR.  We either need to find a reference that reproduces, and can verify, this list, or we need to delete this article. Britishfinance (talk) 12:55, 22 February 2019 (UTC)
 * - The book - India's Communities, Volume 6 by K.S.Singh (Oxford University Press, 1988) have listed Reddy sub-groups clearly. The other references I have added will support each sub-group individually even-though they are from various sources. aggi007(talk) 07:04, 25 February 2019 (UTC)
 * . Thanks for referencing.  I still don't think that it merits a seperaete WP article, but I would fully support a merge/redirect to the main Reddy article.  In these matters, it is always better to have one strong central article (as long as not too long) vs. dispirate broken articles. thanks Britishfinance (talk) 15:11, 1 March 2019 (UTC)

 * Delete. Unsourced and non notable list. Redirect to Reddy if necessary. Ajf773 (talk) 04:04, 24 February 2019 (UTC)
 * I hope I have given valid sources about the existence of these sub-groups. I too support your view that it would be better to merge this article with Reddy if necessary. aggi007(talk) 13:53, 26 February 2019 (UTC)


 * Delete although I would be OK with a merge provided there are some good sources which document this. Castes are a sensitive topic and I think we should look for papers in academic journals as possible sources of information. Ideally the source should specifically discuss the Reddy sub castes as a topic in itself, instead of discussing individual sub castes. I wasn't able to find such a source myself. If it is found, I would be happy to change my vote.--DreamLinker (talk) 16:47, 28 February 2019 (UTC)
 * Redirect is OK as well.--DreamLinker (talk) 06:38, 2 March 2019 (UTC)
