Telugu Brahmins in media and entertainment

 * – ( View AfD View log  •  Stats )

Reason Saran9999 (talk) 13:53, 16 August 2012 (UTC) Reasons for asking to delete arise as the article is promoting Religion (Caste actually) unnecessarily and creating disharmony in Indian Society Norms! As per the Wiki, reasons are G10 and G11 Totally delete this page and in future, stop encouraging such communal or religious pages! — Saran9999 (talk&#32;• contribs) has made few or no other edits outside this topic.

 * Merge with List of Telugu Brahmins. Hindustan  Zinda bad 15:02, 16 August 2012 (UTC)
 * Probably not a bad idea; I don't see that any other group has been split off like this one, and that list does not seem too long. postdlf (talk) 14:05, 17 August 2012 (UTC)
 * Delete. I agree this page to be deleted for a reason already mentioned by Saran999. Also, the list is not accurate, there are several Tamil Brahmins included in the list such as S.S.Taman,S. Janaki etc. Few of many what I saw. Since it contains inaccurate mentions without reference. This page be deleted. undefined  tausif ( talk )  15:23, 16 August 2012 (UTC)

 * I don't even see the hint of a policy-based rationale for deletion here, not from the nominator (who has no edits outside of this AFD, and has no idea what G10 and G11 actually mean), not from the "me too" deletion !voter. We do not delete content because we think it may create "disharmony." Nor do we delete content for fixable issues as Tausif has raised. See WP:PRESERVE, WP:ATD, WP:BEFORE. So unless someone can advance a valid reason for deleting this, this should be speedy closed. postdlf (talk) 13:56, 17 August 2012 (UTC)
 * It's also completely arbitrary and senseless to delete this but not the master list of Telugu Brahmins, from which it was split off. postdlf (talk) 14:09, 17 August 2012 (UTC)
 * I am disappointed that Wikipedia has even put this up for debate. The allegations raised against the entry are utterly ridiculous. A quick sifting through the entry would tell you that there's nothing of the sort alleged contained in it. It has just names of people who, the author claims, hail from a certain social grouping (or Caste) that speak Telugu language. Any objections, if at all, can be only made on the veracity of the claims inside the article. Should there be any incorrect information put it up for debate and delete it after due deliberations. Brahmins have a right to make a list of prominent persons from their community on Wikipedia or any other online forum. There's nothing wrong with it. I am not a Brahmin, nor am I a regular contributor to wikipedia. Having landed up on this page through some totally irrelevant google search I was startled to see such a malicious request made against the page. PLEASE DO NOT ENTERTAIN SUCH FRIVOLOUS CLAIMS.

 * Merge with List of Telugu Brahmins. I see no reason why this short list warrants its own page. MisterUnit (talk) 20:25, 23 August 2012 (UTC)
 * Delete/merge in to List of Telugu Brahmins. List of Telugu Brahmins can be reformatted to include columns, one of which details things about the entry, such as working in media or entertainment. Another column I suggest for List of Telugu Brahmins would be a reference column per WP:V. Requiring a Wikipedia reliable source to justify an entry into the List of Telugu Brahmins will considerably reduce the List of Telugu Brahmins. The non-reliable source entries can be added to a Telugu Brahmins people category. List of Telugu Brahmins probably could be deleted and the article Telugu Brahmins could handle the list of notable Telugu Brahmins and the remainder be place as part of a Telugu Brahmins people category. -- Uzma Gamal (talk) 14:44, 30 August 2012 (UTC)
