Tribes of the Muree Hills

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

Not sure what this article is supposed to be about. The majority of title "tribes" have their own articles. Essay-like writing style is hardly appropriate for an encyclopaedia. The main contributor appears to have strong interest in ethnology of the Indian Subcontinent, but this is again one of his/her many "list of tribes", "list of clans", etc. type articles. For a fuller listing of now-deleted lists of this type, see here: Articles for deletion/Muslim Jat clans of Jalandhar Division.  kashmiri TALK  01:57, 21 January 2015 (UTC)

 * Redirect somewhere. It's hard to make an argument for retention here, but the supporting articles aren't in very good shape. Ideally, I'd point this at the Demographics section of Murree Tehsil, but there isn't one. Murree Tehsil is probably the best subtarget as that article currently stands, but wow! is that article a debacle as it currently stands ("Most prominent and educated Tribes/Clans"? Yikes.). As a less-good option, we can point a redirect to the less precise topic of provincial demographics, which has been spun out from Rawalpindi District to Demographics of Rawalpindi District, a wretched little stub of an article based largely on the much-decried 1901 census; but then again, with most of the article we're discussing at AFD sourced to a 1907 work, it probably is too. Regardless, I don't think allowing forks to proliferate in this area is a beneficial outcome. Squeamish Ossifrage (talk) 22:45, 3 February 2015 (UTC)
