Surkhaili

I can find nothing in reliable sources to verify even the existence of this tribe. It is not mentioned at Baffa#Tribes either.

I prodded, and the deprodder put a note at the end of the article: "Refeferance is gazeteer of hazara 1907 and " BANDOBAST" of lands of mansehra of 1905 according to castes and shajarahs of different swati tribes." I'm not convinced; without better sources we can't write an article on this topic. Fences &amp;  Windows  00:49, 16 November 2009 (UTC)  Please add new comments below this notice.

 * Delete, per nom. I also did a bit of google searching and could not find any WP:V coverage of this tribe. Does not pass WP:N. Nsk92 (talk) 12:14, 16 November 2009 (UTC)

 * Surkhailis are a big branch of the Swatis of Hazara division majority of them residing in the town of Baffa, if you have any doubt then you better visit a famous book called The "history of Hazara" by Dr Sher Bahadur Khan panni, further I will recommend you to see couple of books of british author as "Hazara Gazetteer", those were being written in 1887 and 1907 when pashtuns and their allies struggling for freedom against Britishers.
