Valaiyars

Since this is getting restored (see Valaiyar, including the deleted edits), we probably need to run it through AfD once. The article at this point contains only one reference which is a primary source, and notability is very far from obvious. May be the article can be rewritten though, I am not an expert in castes and would not be able to do it. Ymblanter (talk) 06:51, 10 December 2018 (UTC)

 Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.
 * Neutral. Current article is possibly WP:TNT worthy. This particular caste, however, does seem to have INDEPTH coverage in what may be a RS - e.g. these two books - - seem recent and from an academic press with quite a bit of content.Icewhiz (talk) 11:50, 10 December 2018 (UTC)

 * Neutral. The current sub-stub is bad, but if I didn't have to go AFK right now I would've written a proper few sentence stub. It's 5-10m if anyone cares to rescue this. --Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus&#124; reply here 08:48, 17 December 2018 (UTC)
 * Delete with an eye to WP:TNT without prejudice to recreating. Ifnord (talk) 05:36, 24 December 2018 (UTC)
