I couldn't establish that this is notable, nor find a suitable redirect target. Boleyn (talk) 11:06, 19 January 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Comment I found some odd wiki — as one of the first Google search results — where they are defined in more detail. They are classified as a branch of "Chauhan" which has a slightly larger article on Wikipedia but which has no mention of any branches. If you look on that site how many branches Chauhan has and how detailed every one of those sub-branch pages are, you'll end up even more confused. Since it's a country of a billion people I could see a branch of a branch being notable, but I think some research by someone not me is needed here... Clearly the Wikipedia article in its current state is poor, however. --Mr. Magoo and McBarker (talk) 02:44, 26 January 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Delete for now, draft & userfy and restart later if needed as although the current article could be imaginably acceptable, it's not currently the best. SwisterTwister talk 06:42, 9 February 2016 (UTC)[reply]
