Thind

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

Fails WP:GNG. The only mention of Thind as a gotra in reliable sources appears to be in a volume of The People of India, where it appears as a single-word item in a list of gotras. I've hunted around for quite a few months, on and off, and am getting no further. I PROD'ed this but the PROD was removed without explanation. The only other source is an entry in a list of last names. Sitush (talk) 01:32, 5 December 2014 (UTC)

 * Delete. No evidence of notability. Mark Marathon (talk) 08:49, 5 December 2014 (UTC)
 * Keep We commonly retain pages for surnames to list people of that name. I see no reason to differ in this case. Andrew D. (talk) 23:45, 5 December 2014 (UTC)
 * I agree that converting it to a list of notable people bearing the name would be ok if the cats etc were also adjusted to reflect that. I've done that several times in the past. As long as we get rid of any association with a non-notable clan, I'm happy. The difficulty is usually that members of clan xyz then try to convert it back into what is often a BLP-violating list. Offhand, I can see five or six entries that would be valid list entries as a surname. - Sitush (talk) 01:37, 6 December 2014 (UTC)
