This may or may not be a notable topic but as it stands a notability tag has been on it for over six months and the article still seems to serve as an unreferenced repository for people who happen to have the same last name and whose own notability isn't established, including, on one occasion, a person who was plainly not listed by the website of the university at which he was alleged to be a chair-holding professor. —Largo Plazo (talk) 15:58, 1 October 2009 (UTC)  Please add new comments below this notice.

 * Delete This is a problem with many of the "clan" articles that form the castes in India. It's very difficult to say if this is a clan or a last name since there's really nothing in Gbooks, scholar etc for that. A search for "Sekhon clan" just provides WP and mirrors and one primary source which isn't RS. If anyone can unearth a couple of credible references to show that this is a clan, I'd be ready to reconsider my !vote. - SpacemanSpiff Calvin&#8225;Hobbes 17:26, 1 October 2009 (UTC)
 * Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion so consensus may be reached.


 * Delete - Topic may or may not be notable but the article is not sourced (reliably or otherwise) and a good faith search turns up no sources in languages that I can read. Thefore fails WP:N - DustFormsWords (talk) 23:31, 8 October 2009 (UTC)
